I thought this would be an atmospheric horror book but it was more like a slasher film.
We’re introduced to a bunch of characters, then in the second part they start getting killed.

I don’t think the book is bad, but I had completely wrong expectations. I thought it would be gothic horror in the vein of Dracula, but it was a very American-high-schoolers-getting-killed-off type story instead. I don’t like slasher films so this wasn’t for me. If you do, then you’ll probably like this book. ( )

This one kept me on my toes. It wasn’t just a vampire story but a mystery and who done it all wrapped up in one. Alex, the protagonist isn’t your average “Mina”. There’s more to her than meets the eye, especially when you are trying to save your family. ( )

Thank you NetGalley and TBR and Beyond Tours for the chance to read and review Go Hunt Me by Kelly deVos!

Go Hunt Me is a Young Adult Thrillers & Suspense book that came out on the 14th of June. It's 318 pages long and published by Razorbill, which is a Penguin imprint.

I don't have much to add in terms of a review for this book, except it's a great thriller! I had fun reading this and I loved each character! The twist was so good! I don't want to say too much because I'm afraid of spoiling the book. It's a fast paced book, from start to end which I appreciate.

I feel like the characters could have been more fleshed out and the twist could have been made a bit longer. I would have loved to get more details on that!

I will definitely be reading more by the author! ( )

This book is a suspenseful locked room thriller about teens filming a horror movie that seems to be coming true in real life.

When only part of a group of film-obsessed teens get into the film school of their choice, Alex decides they need a new project to push them off the waitlist. When a famed actress stumbles across six teens' GoFundMe to film their student horror novel, she does more than make it go viral. She convinces them to film it in Dracula's summer home, a castle in Romania owned by her cousin. But as soon as they get there, the money from their GoFundMe is stolen, and all the adults abandon the castle. But the teens soon realize that they are not alone.

The wonderfully atmospheric descriptions of the ruined castle brought this novel to life. From ruined halls to locked doors to still-smoking cigars, the details made my heart beat fast each time a character had to change locations. Some of the characters get more development than others, as they survive longer. After the characters reach the castle, the bodies pile up as the action never slows.

This is a book that has fun with horror movie tropes, and it includes bits of the script of the film the teens are working on, along with bits of the police report after each chapter. Be warned, this story gets gruesome and bloody, with more than one murder scene graphically described. However, if you're looking for an action-packed thriller filled with Gothic vibes, this might just be your cup of tea. The last twist caught me off guard, too.

*Potential Spoiler Alert*

I think it was the mention of Dracula that had me expecting vampires. How can you go to Dracula's summer home filled with creepy artifacts and not encounter a vampire? If you're a character in this novel, that's how. ( )
