3.5!!!
Thriller and Horror books are always difficult for me to review, because everyone has a different threshold for what they can tolerate and or like. If you love a popcorn-quick-no-fuss thriller - this is definitely the book for you!
Dollface is marketed as Barbie x Scream, and yes it has those elements, I really feel like it does a disservice to the book. Especially for the horror fans out there.
Fresh to a new Stanford-Wives-esque community, Jill, a horror author working on their second book, finds herself roped into the Mean Girls of the PTA. When mysterious killings start in their normally picture perfect neighborhood, Jill uses her expertise of Slasher Films to become the Final Girl.
The writing in this book is good, straight to the point and laced with some humor for such a dark topic. The POV from Dollface was grotesque in a way I wasn't expecting based on Jill's POV, but definitely added to the layer of the "slasher." I did find myself skimming some scenes, as the PTA talks became a little repetitive for me. Despite that, this was still a fun little slasher to read.
Thank you Netgalley and SMP for an eARC. All thoughts are honest and my own.
