Gr 10 Up–Graphic content warning here: with detailed slashings and multiplying corpses, gore fans won’t be disappointed. Actor Tedla makes her audiobook debut—albeit with a less-than-stellar production team too lazy or inexperienced to clean up noticeably clumsy after-original-recording insertions and errant clicking noises. Glitches aside, Tedla admirably, steadfastly exudes enormous, addictive energy. Bayron’s early exposition initially drags, setting up why Charity asks her girlfriend and another close friend for help during the final days of her summer job at Camp Mirror Lake’s interactive horror show—but as night falls, of course, the true fright fest kicks in. Tedla is consistently convincing, as the teens run from an old woman with a rifle, masked strangers, a murderous owl, bloody sacrifice—with no cell service.
VERDICT The fear is real: Tedla’s expertly modulated adrenaline spikes will likely eclipse technical irritants.
