Camp Deathe is now a great place to spend the summer. Ritchie soon finds a group of outsiders like himself. Teenagers who ignore the organised activities, and bunk off in the old abandoned cabins deep in the woods. The cabins that have a history.
The campfire monster stories were meant to just scare them. Nobody expected them to come true. Then one of the teenagers disappears in the middle of the night.
Something is watching them. It hides in the woods and hunts at night.
Ritchie will have to uncover the secrets of the camp, and understand his own problems in order to survive.
Camp Death is the first of this new series, described as Point Horror for a new generation. Personally, I think they read just a little younger than Point Horror, but that's just me.
I enjoyed the story here, although I thought that the ending came out of nowhere. However, the main character has several lines about how boys act in one way and girls in another, or how boys are 'supposed' to act, that I didn't particularly like. Teens shouldn't be reading lines like that, in my personal opinion.
Overall, though, this is a great, spooky story. The atmosphere is brilliant and really well described, and the story moves along well. The characters are really fun. I didn't put this down as I was reading, because I wanted to know what would happen to everyone. I also loved the little nod to the other QMP books, that was really clever.
I'm looking forward to seeing what else happens in this series, as I think they're going to be popular.
I received a free copy and am giving an honest review. Thanks to QMP and ZooLooTours.
