I wanted to read this book so much, getting approved had me on cloud nine.

This book by Mallory Arnold will be released on the 8th of July and is called “How to survive a horror story”. This book is a psychological thriller, so don’t let the title fool you.

Some of the events in this book are pretty gruesome, so be warned.

But, it’s really really good! Also, side note. You get a lot of point of views in this book. I have to confess that because of all the different points of view, I’m having a bit of a hard time writing a good review. So, bear with me.

After receiving an invitation for the will reading of none other than the number one bestselling horror author Mortimer Queen. But, why would he be inviting me? We’ve only met once? And the details are so hazy, I can’t remember the specifics.

When Melanie arrives there are others, it was expected of course, but the rest are all horror writers… Melanie does write, but hasn’t been published yet… So… Why?

After meeting the others at cocktail hour, there is still a dinner to sit through before the will is read. There are some things happening that are plain weird but the reading of the will… That takes the crown.

It’s escape room-esc, one hour to find and resolve the riddle or someone will be not make it out of the room they’re in alive. You can’t get to the next room without solving the riddle. What makes it eerie is that each riddle has to do with a participant. So the answer to the riddle is a name of one of the participants but when answered wrong a random person will exit through a horrific event. There can only be one that gets out alive but whom that will be.. Who knows? (Well, I do obviously…)

The happenings in the different rooms are mind blowing, the thriller angle is 100% there. I really liked reading this book.

It’s a ⭐⭐⭐⭐star rating from me.
