pickViolet & her friends are the lucky eight girls who receive an invitation to the annual scavenger hunt for 2020. This year they have to break into the Poison Apple Carnival after hours & collect an item each. When they reach the park, they split off into smaller groups to cover the area more quickly, but a masked madman starts to attack them. One by one the girls are picked off in a series of bizarre & gruesome killings.
pick4 out of 5 scary carnivals for “Tastes Like Candy” by Ivy Tholen 🎡🎡🎡🎡
Reading “Tastes Like Candy” is a lot like actually eating candy… it‘s not the most nutritious thing you can feed your mind, but it sure is a lot of fun! A group of friends sneak into the Poison Apple Carnival on a scavenger hunt, only to be hunted themselves by a masked killer. A standard setup, but enhanced by the cast getting deeper characterization and witty dialogue.
I recently reorganized my bookshelves to sort them mostly by genre. The shelf on the top in this photo is mostly dedicated to horror and thrillers. I‘ve been on a real horror novel kick lately, so I just finished Clown in a Cornfield (which I really enjoyed), and am now reading the tagged book. They‘re predicting up to 12 inches of snow in my area tomorrow, so it‘s possible I‘ll have a lot of time to read through this shelf this weekend! 😱🌨️❄️

I looooove a good campy slasher!
A little rivalry, a little cotton candy murder…
It is sweet as candy!
STOP IT RIGHT NOW!! @LeahBergen
Before even unwrapping said item, I could FEEL it! And was freaking out, “omg please be what I think you are!” And it was!!👻 I have wanted that Ghostface hair clip even since I first laid eyes on it!!🖤🖤
I am so excited to read all these books! They have been on my list for quite a while!!
Thank you so so much for the amazing #HHS package!! 🖤

panGood slasher bones and great setting. Ruined by stoner dialogue, too much sarcasm, and a villain with the dumbest reasoning for spree killing ever.
Thank you so much for my #creepychristmas package @DinoMom ! I smiled while opening everything, and now I'm gonna have to get my mom to brainstorm some ideas of what to make for me with the awesome fabric you used as wrapping (she's a sewer while I ... am not lol). I love it all! Happy holidays!
@teebe you're a Rockstar for getting everything organized. Thank you so much!
pickYes yes and yes! A modern slasher with a classic feel in a book. I didn‘t know I was craving this until I was reading it. Sure I called the killer early but that did NOT ruin my enjoyment of this! What a fun and brutal ride.
