The first half of this story was so solid. A fairly average, fairly cheesy horror about a kid whose peers are dying in mysterious ways, it had just enough of that Goosebumps, 80s vibe and was fast paced enough that I flipped through the pages pretty quickly, so I was having a good time.

The story then flipped on us, bringing us suddenly into a different situation, and something immediately felt off. This then descended into chaos, while I was still scrambling to work out what was happening in the first place, before then switching up on us again.

This third switch just annoyed me. It was such a basic choice that it could barely be considered a plot twist, and has already been done in a very famous movie, much better. I left feeling that the author had absolutely no idea how he wanted to finish this story, and just threw in the towel.
