Well, this might be short but it packs a punch! Going to camp always sounds like a good idea… but when it’s Camp Killer and someone’s out murdering, maybe it’s not a great idea! Really enjoyed this - it’s fast-paced, gripping and definitely one to keep an eye on!

Welcome to Camp Killer is set in a children’s summer camp in the north of England. The camp is rumoured to be haunted and odd things start happening at the camp.

For such a short book, I thought that all the characters were really well developed. I also loved the setting and the general vibes of this book.

However I wish it could’ve been longer so that the mystery element was more developed. Due to the books length it felt like the mystery unravelled too quickly and therefore there was very little tension.

Overall this was a fun, quick read. I would say that this book definitely falls towards the younger end of YA books so someone younger may get more out of this book than I did.

Horror titles are extremely popular and Barrington Stoke have certainly delivered with this thriller, which is set in a summer camp in England. The plot was redolent of many of those horror movies set in summer camps but I liked the fact that this had a distinctly British feel. The plot twist was also unexpected. I think young people of all abilities will enjoy this novella.

I really enjoyed this fast paced book. It felt like the perfect length and I’m sure many young readers will adore this book.
