Final Girls was a solid thriller that I felt wore on it's welcome a bit. I think a decent amount of the book could've been trimmed down to make it flow a little better. There was a lot of what I would describe as filler within it.
That's not to say it's a bad book, I did enjoy the story quite a bit, it just drug on at points.

Daisy Darker told a tale
That is sure to grip you without fail
It's about a family full of lying
On Nana's birthday they started dying
Try to deduce the secret killer
In this excellent mystery thriller

I loved Daisy Darker with all my heart. I had never read a book by Alice Feeney before this but I'll be sure to check out her other works now. I found the plot and overall mystery incredibly engaging and by the end I felt the overwhelming urge to cry, in the best way.
Other reviews have said that the narrator gave away the ending but I didn't get that from her performance at all, maybe I'm just dumb. I thought she did a fantastic job and really brought the characters and story to life
Overall I recommend this to anybody and everybody, this is a book that I'll continue to think about for a long time.

Clown in a Cornfield 2 has the advantage of the reader knowing what it is. My biggest issue with the first book is that I went in expecting a cheesy 80's style slasher but instead got something more akin to The Purge, a mayhem infused bloodbath with heavy political themes. It sort of marred my opinion of the book a bit, Frendo Lives does not have that problem. I knew exactly what the book would be when I picked it up and it let me sit back and fully enjoy the story. I wasn't distracted thinking to myself "oh so this is THAT kind of book" and it was all the better for it. I plan on revisiting the first book eventually to see if my opinion of it changes now that I know what it is.
Overall I'd recommend Frendo Lives to anyone that enjoyed the first book.

Wasn't the slasher I was hoping for

Looking at the title, cover, and description I assumed this would be a fun little slasher, I was mistaken. The character stuff was fine, pretty standard YA stuff, it wasn't riveting but I wasn't being put to sleep by it either. In the second half of the book though I was really shocked that it turned into MAGA of the Corn, I didn't hate it but I don't really like super political books, even if I do somewhat agree with the message.

Overall I don't regret spending my money and time on this book, and I'll probably pick up the sequel next, but I won't be rushing out to tell my friends about it either.

I enjoyed this book though I did see the ending coming from very early on which I guess is a testament to how much I enjoyed the book if that didn't hamper it too much. It wasn't quite as graphic as I thought it would be which I think worked out for it as it reminded me of my favorite movie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which is also not as graphic as one would expect. Overall a great addition to the hillbilly horror subgenre and one I would recommend to any horror junkie like myself.

I will say the narrator had some odd pronunciations at times but as someone with an accent I don't really fault that as long as I can tell what the word is.
