As the terror grows closer and the hunt intensifies for the killer, the dark secrets of the past will finally be revealed. Reception. MJ Franklin of Mashable praised the novel, stating that it is a great homage to "classic slasher movies like  Scream and "I Know What You Did Last Summer"". Christina Ledbetter from The Washington Times praised the book, mentioning that the elements of "teen romance and grisly murders crawl into the backseat of the car for a make-out session, producing a read that is as eerie as it is delightful."
