I recommend this book to any slasher/horror fans.

I found this book a bit tricky as the pace was really off. Pages and pages of nothing happening to a neckbreakingly rushed end.

This was a gothic, haunting and atmospheric story that I couldn’t put down. It was gripping and engaging the whole way through with a level of suspense and unpredictability that added an extra layer to the storytelling. It was a chilling read that has stayed with me since I read it. This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and I would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you very much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

This was a pretty decent read especially for a fan of the slasher horror genre like myself however there were long periods of not a lot going on which really broke the tension and suspense unfortunately. Ironically after a slow read for the middle portion of the book the ending actually felt too rushed and the reveal wasn’t too much of a surprise. The track listing throughout was killer (pun intended) I just wish I’d have made a note of the tracks for a playlist as I went through it.

Thanks to NetGalley and Datura for the digital ARC!

This is one for the horror lovers, particularly those who love slasher films. Tinsel Munroe is a radio DJ in Melbourne, who runs The Graveyard Shift show. As the name suggests, it's the unsociable hours, but Tinsel enjoys it in her attempt to move up the radio career.

The first trouble is when a listener gets murdered whilst calling into Tinsel's show. Tragic, but also considered a one off. Then more murders happen, all with a connection to film and Tinsel in some way and the stakes start rising. It's clear that the killer has an interest in Tinsel, but why?

Our main characters are Tinsel, an adopted Indian-Australian woman who aspires to higher levels of radio her sister, Pandora, who is also adopted and Detective James, the police officer working the case.

I could easily see this book being a film, with the murders being gruesome but in a very 80s slasher way. They get killed in terrible ways, but there's no real body horror or anything. It's also very quick paced and easy to read - the characters are well written with the right amount of back story and the murders are intriguing.

Overall, I found that I really enjoyed this and would definitely recommend to any horror lovers!

A homage to horror movies with a pop culture twist and a soundtrack to die for. Which is what happens to a listener of a spooky themed late night radio show that honestly I would totally listen to (is there a Spotify link yet, because I need this).

I had been spoilered about a major plot point by my lovely mother who forgot that she was on my kindle app reading my arc copy (bless Netgalley and the arc gods) and that I hadn’t read it. I’m not 100% sure that it didn’t effect my reading So I’m rounding up my 4.5. Even if you are not familiar with the Melbourne setting, or with the horror films that this book adores (it’s a vibe), it’s cinematic, joyous, gleeful (and bloody) and just works.

This is to die for! I loved every second and could not put it down. Its a completely original story, very scream or I know what you did last summer vibes but without it just being those films rehashed in book form!

It's got the perfect mix of jump scares and twists. The set up is just perfect and I loved the modern real world references - like to the scream films etc. This book knows what it is and doesn't shy away from it. It's a quick read but really engaging. It's not cliched and the protagonist is a pretty strong character and not some idiot who's running up the stairs when she should be running out the door! And yes, I did just throw in a quote from Scream lol.

It's just all so well written, and easy to get lost in because it is written so realistically. The characters are relatable and I was really rooting for them. It's just awesome, especially for us millennial who grew up on this genre of films
