Dead Eyes by Ev KnightMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is another E.V. Knight story that didn't disappoint!
Lisa Thompson is obsessed with the murders that happened twenty years ago in the house across the street. Actually, she's writing an article that she hopes helps secure a college scholarship. When a new girl and her mother move in, Lisa knows this is her chance to investigate. But things aren't always as they seem, and there are eyes everywhere...
Wow. This novella packs quite a punch, and totally hooked me in from beginning to end. Seriously, I read it in one sitting.
The 80s are captured so perfectly, this story could've been written in the 80s!
The slasher vibes are awesome. The family mystery intriguing. The characters are all fleshed out and feel/sound real. The teenage situations are perfect echoes of countless 80s movies. And the shocking ending really ties everything together, in the creepiest way possible.
Yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of this novella!
