This to me was a bit better than the first one of this duo. Different characters with some like Violet still in the story and eventually at the end of this one it ends abruptly but the whole plot unfolds and we get to know what really happened. Still fast paced, kinda gory but still fun. I recommend if you like slashers that have to do with mind games and females killing each other.

I thought this would be more intense than it was but it's about a group of teenage girls in their senior year doing a Senior Scavenger in a carnival and there's a masked killer who kills them off one by one and only one survives. It was fun and he kills in weird and interesting ways. Fast paced and a quick read

Not much to this prequel at all because it was so short but pretty interesting and creepy vibes with the dolls and it leads to more questions and stuff for the series. I liked it and will continue with the series
