Slash is just as it title promises a slashing, hacking, gory great time. As the body count rises the pages kept turning faster I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Will definitely check out more from this Author.

I liked the slasher style in this book! I had to keep reading because I wanted to know more. This is the second book I've read by Hunter Shea and I'm looking forward to reading more.

SLASH hearkens back, almost longingly, to the slasher B-movie horror films of the 1980's, with its "crazed maniac massacre" settings and especially its "Final Girl" emphasis. So be prepared to expect a plethora of gore, splatter, and violence--because that's what crazed maniacs do, right? However, that's not all. There's a lot of delving into psychology: survivor guilt; post-traumatic stress syndrome; fear, rational or irrational, that "it's not over"; the psychology of the loved ones--family and friends. Author Shea also gives a compelling riff on history plus a strongly supernatural element (which also has a historical basis).

This was a good story but i wasn't blown by it. It's a slasher fic (the title should give it away to you) and it definitely captured that feeling well. The characters aren't ones you'll warm to straight away but you will definitely want to stick with them and see who survives. After reading this i'm very interested in reading more by Shea and will be looking for more of his work.

I finished reading this a couple of days ago and I’m still out of breath.

As the title alone will tell you, this is slasher fiction.  Or slash and slice and dice and chop and oh my god why are there heads everywhere fiction!  The body count is…immense.

It did take me a bit to like our characters.  I found I liked our Final Girl most and wanted to have more of her in the story (the author does make that happen, but I wanted more, more, more).

However, once I got to know our characters, I was all in.  I was also shouting at them not to go in the scary, scary place where people go to die, but, nope.  They did it anyway.

Our baddie is…unexpected.  I felt I wanted a little more about (how do to this without spoilers) the who and the why and the how – but I enjoyed the surprise.

And, as usual, Shea takes on an adrenaline-filled roller coaster ride of a horror story!

4 1/2 Stars

For the last couple of years I’ve come to rely on Hunter Shea for old-fashioned, fun, gory horror tales, and Slash did not disappoint. With his latest, Shea has put his expected unique stamp on the familiar slasher trope and turned it into a one-sitting page-turner. Despite the book being under 300 pages, both the characters and the story are pretty well-developed. And there’s a fantastic twist regarding The Wraith near the end that I didn’t see coming. 

If you’re a horror fan and haven’t tried Hunter Shea yet, I highly recommend him. His books don’t require any deep thinking, they’re just pure entertainment. As for Slash, its October 10th release date makes it the perfect Halloween treat!

Thanks to Netgalley for an ARC of this ebook. I enjoyed this book but the storyline just didn't impress me a whole lot. It was slow, took forever to get interesting. It was a decent read, but I wouldn't purchase for myself.
