#BookReview: Frightmares by Eva V. Gibson






Synopsis: In a Florida tourist trap, a summer acting job turns into a real-life horror show when a cast member turns up dead—then disappears. This nail-biting story is perfect for fans of Fear Street!

Dave is spending his final summer before college working at Frightmares House of Horrors, a struggling haunted house attraction held together by malfunctioning killer clown mannequins, a cheap replica Annabelle doll, and a lot of improvising.

After a particularly disastrous shift ends in an employee walkout, Dave reluctantly takes over a role for his friend, however, he makes a horrifying discovery—a real dead body, hidden on set. But when Dave returns with help, the body is gone.

Though the killer covered their tracks, Dave realizes they must know what he saw. Could he be their next target?

My Review: I was hopeful for this one but sadly it was not for me.  The swearing was a little much and over the top for my taste. I also wished that this would have more of a paranormal vs a murder story.  I think it would have worked out a lot better.  But that being said I mean this just was not for me.  It wasn't what I thought it was going to be so that was a let down. 











Review

Praise for FRIGHTMARES: 

"Frightmares is YA horror at its best—voicy, thrilling, and wholly unique. Gibson’s quirky characters and whip-smart humor shine against the non-Disney-fied backdrop of Florida’s seedy underbelly. A spine-chilling book you won’t forget."—Jennifer Moffett, author Those Who Prey 

"[A] 
propulsive thriller."—Kirkus

"
Witty and fast-moving."—Booklist

"Get your dose of summer 
thrills and chills with this YA horror novel!"—Brightly
