Book Review: Camp Blaze by Jon Athan

 Second novel of Jon athan and I am truly enjoying his works. In the first one he throws a curve ball and get us to change our perspective on the characters. Here is a bit different but also throws us a soft curve ball and destroys a bit of the monster in a camp situation.

We've are introduced a lot of characters, well I made a list and there 27 different named characters. Some are just named while others have different characterists and personalities.

As most slashers begin with a killing - this is not different. Then we get to be introduced our main villain tragic story and why stuff happen like that.

Here the main character is also a woman like Ashley (our main antagonist is ASH... hmmm) and is called Regina Park. She starts as a frightening kitty but as the deaths and disappearing start mounting and children become in danger our main character change into a badass girl.

I enjoyed the action scenes, the killing scenes and the overall atmosphere. I also enjoyed the way this killings started and why they did. very different as I said from the slashers movies - well not that different from the first friday 13th. I will not say much more.

I will say that it has room from a sequel and the author always write a couple of paragraphs telling the history of the tale he is telling.. in this he explains the reason behind expanding and updating the novel & room for the expansion which will be in 2029 if we are going the original date of 2016 after all it's every 13 years ;)
