ARC BOOK REVIEW: The Bitter End by Alexa Donne
REVIEW:
Keeping in mind that this book is geared toward middle school age children I thought it was pretty good. The killer is actually revealed before the end of the book which was different. It reads like one of the teen slasher movies. It is not overly gory but it is definitely creepy.
There was a party several years ago with all the same people. Something happened at the party that seems to be triggering the events in the present. With alternating chapters we learn about the past party and what is happening on a school trip in a secluded cabin, snowed in at the top of a mountain.
The ending was fantastic and really left you guessing and while I'm not a fan of open ended endings this one hit its mark. I would say that this definitely skews for a younger audience and not a YA mystery. It was a bit campy but I liked it.
