About the Book
Welcome to the reality game show that’ll scare you to death! Have you got what it takes to last the night?
On the reality show It’s Behind You!, five contestants competing for prize money must survive the night in the dark and dangerous Umber Gorge caves, rumored to be haunted by the Puckered Maiden, a ghost who eats the hearts of her victims. But is it the malevolent spirit they should fear, or each other?
As the production crew ramps up the frights, tensions rise and the secrets of the cast member start coming to light. Each of these teenagers has hidden motives for taking part in the show. But could one of them be murder?
My Thoughts
The cover and title caught my attention when I was getting ready to go to the beach, so I bought the book to read on the beach. I had trouble putting the book down and more than once was cursing having to stop. I even took it to dinner and read at the table while my family and I were waiting. In all, it took me about 2 days (interrupted)
The title and the horror genre caught my attention, but I would not class it as horror. It is based around a realty game show based around a so-called ghost- but since it’s not actually about an actual demonic ghost, I would just call it a mystery or thriller. I know horror doesn’t have to have a supernatural aspect, but it’s what my mind goes to immediately.
It didn’t take me an extremely long time to figure out who the bad vs good people were but the characters were also really easy to get to like/dislike.
Overall, I have recommended this book to several people over the last few years and I still have the book in my collection.
