“I flinch, sure a hatchet is about to come spinning out of the darkness, sure a scythe is swinging our way.”

PLOT SUMMARY:

It’s been four years in prison since Jade Daniels last saw her hometown of Proofrock, Idaho, the day she took the fall, protecting her friend Letha and her family from incrimination. Since then, her reputation, and the town, have changed dramatically. There’s a lot of unfinished business in Proofrock, from serial killer cultists to the rich trying to buy Western authenticity. But there’s one aspect of Proofrock no one wants to confront…until Jade comes back to town. The curse of the Lake Witch is waiting, and now is the time for the final stand.

GRADE: A+

REVIEW:

I had no doubts that I was going to love this third installment from the Indian Lake trilogy. I loved every moment of this bloody, gory, action-packed novel. Jade Daniels is back and out of prison, and is currently the history teacher in her former high school. Everything seems alright, until the first bodies are found and then Jade must figure out if she’s back in a slasher again, trying to recall all the rules for the third sequel. What this means is that the killer is going to be superhuman, anyone can die, including the the main character, and the past will come to haunt you. Our protagonist has to deal with all those things during the duration of the novel, and at times the reader can’t help but doubt if maybe Jade could somehow be behind the murders this time. This novel kept me on the tip of my toes, and every few pages I couldn’t help but mutter, “Oh f**k.” This novel isn’t for the faint of heart – and it will surely have you teary eyed several times, but I trusted Jones to give us the ending this trilogy deserved and he delivered tenfold. If you haven’t read this series, I urge you to read My Heart is a Chainsaw, especially if you’re a fan of slasher films and horror film history. Obviously, if you have read the previous books from this series, then reading this final installment is a MUST. I absolutely loved this book and the whole trilogy and wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Jade, my only hope is that someone picks this up to become a miniseries in the future.
