The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham JonesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones from Saga Press via NetGalley.
The Angel of Indian Lake is the third book in the Indian Lake Trilogy by Stephen Graham Jones. While you could start here, it does make reference to things that happened in the prior two books. That won't stop your enjoyment of this book, but it could spoil some things if you decide to go back and read the first two.
The Angel of Indian Lake is a great rid for people who enjoy horror films, especially slasher films. There are many references to the classics, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Scream, etc. Jade, the main character, is a big fan and knows all the rules which may be how she has survived to book three even though she doesn't consider herself a final girl. And just like in horror films, everyone else seems oblivious to the very obvious signs that they are living in one. Jade does have some allies though, and you will be biting your nails wondering if they will survive to the last page. In case you haven't figured it out yet, this isn't a book for the squeamish. There's blood and gore aplenty. You are spared a bit because the action is interspersed with reports detailing Jade's behavior as observed by an investigator. If you like an epistolary story like I do, this will scratch that itch.
