This book was so good thank you for letting me read it. I will be recommending it to all my friends and family and anyone who asks.

A quick and entertaining read! Was an exciting plot and fun to watch it play out because that is literally so scary to have a serial killer coming after you and being aware of that. I was really glad to see how it all played out!

I received an early copy of The Bachelorette Party from NetGalley! Thank you for the opportunity.

Alex is a writer who is obsessed with true crime and more specifically the 666 killer. She has become obsessed and is perusing a story by actually meeting with the man who has been sentenced for the murders, behind the back of her loved ones of course. Her two best friends whisk her away for her bachelorette party, which is ends up being where else but the original home of the 666 murders! The story follows a wild night with lots of thrills and twists.

This book went in a totally different direction than I was expecting, but I didn’t hate it. It just wasn’t as cohesive as I would have liked. I still really enjoyed reading it, and have heard amazing things about Sandra Block!

It’s a fast paced read.

I enjoyed The Bachelorette Party overall but I expected more. The friends were not likeable people and were a turn off that almost made me not finish.

Thank you Scarlet for the digital ARC!

This book started off really strong for me but completely and totally fell off the rails when it came to the big reveal.

I will post more of my thoughts hidden in spoilers on Goodreads, but since I can't do that here I will keep it short and sweet and just say the twist did not work for me at all.

Regardless, I will not hesitate to read this author again, because the rest of the book did keep me entertained.

The Bachelorette Party pub date is September 3.

Alex is living the dream, and things are getting better and better for her. She's about to get married, so her friends throw her a true-crime themed bachelorette party--perfect for someone obsessed with the notorious 666 killer. But one morning she wakes up and her friends are gone. Is this an elaborate prank or part of the party? Or is the 666 killer back?

I really loved the concept of this book but the writing fell flat for me. I didn't love the characters and they didn't pull me in as much as I would have liked. It was just okay to me.

This book…I have so many mixed feelings on. Let’s start with what I liked— I liked our main character, even though I was a bit worried about her mental sanity with her relationship. I liked the investigation of a cold case storyline. I even liked her investigative journalism (though it was not always ethical). Sadly, I think the list of things I didn’t like might be larger than what I liked. I didn’t like how I felt like the author kept throwing more twists, not because they added to the story, but just to try to shock the reader. I also hated all the supporting characters. Jay, Melody, Lainey, Greg— none of them felt like good people! And lastly, the big reveal of the bachelorette party. I was MAD reading this…like what did I just read. That storyline was such a letdown and honestly, psychotic of her friends.

I have been looking for something that was as good as the book In A Dark Dark Wood and in the same subgenre. This scratched that itch so well. Hen party horror stories are so good. I loved this.

Alex is a true-crime devotee and her friends Lainey and Melody have planned the surprise bachelorette party of her dreams, taking her to the Catskills, specifically to an alleged haunted hunting lodge where ten years ago Eric Myers, the 666 serial killer stabbed a victim and wrote on the walls in her blood. Alex recently had a chance to interview this killer in prison as part of her internship with an investigative news show (because, you know, that’s what interns do. They don’t file and do grunt work. They interview high profile killers.)

The women are hanging out, then go to bed. Then Alex wakes up to find her friends are missing and her hands are covered in blood, and so are their sleeping bags. Did the police get the right person or is the 666 killer still at large? Could Alex be responsible? Can she find her friends?

Let me tell you, this group is about the dumbest collection of people in the world. I won’t spoil anything by listing the many, many ways in which this is true, but suffice it to say that by the end you kind of hope a serial killer comes along and puts them all out of your misery. Read at your own risk.

This is the story of Alex, a crime journalist, who’s on her surprise bachelorette trip with her two friends. They are taking her to a lodge where serial killer, Eric Myers, committed his crimes and is in jail. Alex goes to sleep and wakes up with her friends missing and blood on her hands. She starts to question everything!! 🫣
I enjoyed the book but, it did take me a bit to get into it. Thank you NetGalley and Sandra Block for the opportunity to read your work before it comes out ❤️

Alex friends take her to a haunted cabin for her bachelorette party. keeps you guessing, quick read.

I must admit that I really enjoyed this, though the plot is just absurdly implausible—I mean could-never-ever-happen implausible—and the prose is workmanlike at best. Block knows how to, as the blurb cliché has it, ratchet up the tension. One quibble: it’s the Book of Revelation, not “Revelations.” And speaking of revelations, the one involving the slip of paper with the name on it doesn't make any sense, as a matter of spelling. No explanation for the discrepancy between how the name is spelled and the order in which the letters of the name appear in the word is forthcoming.

Omg this was amazing. I love the fever dream aspect. You’ll definitely have to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the ride. This is not a critical mystery thriller but it is thoroughly enjoyable.

Brilliant. Spellbinding. Terrorizing. This book should be locked away in your fridge while you sleep because you can't trust any of the characters.

Three good friends drive to a surprise destination for the bride-to-be's bachelorette party. The other two gals take Alex to a VRBO where a serial killer murdered a girl. Alex has researched this story and even interviewed the suspect who is in prison because she wants to write about the case for her internship.

Block is careful about using the correct pronouns, which must be difficult because it sounds grammatically incorrect.

During the first night in the haunted house, Alex wakes up in the shower, finds her friends have disappeared, but left some of their blood behind. The vicious snowstorm outside doesn't help matters, but Alex still forges her way through the deep snow to try and get help.

I loved this book even though it was quite terrifying. Block keeps the tension rampant. A real page turner.

"A true crime devotee gets more than she bargained for at her killer bachelorette party."

Thank you to Netgalley, Scarlet publishing, and the author Sandra Block for letting read & review this advanced copy. Alex is a new intern at her dream job that is a news program called crimelite that deals with different investigations. She goes away on her bachelorette party with her two best friends at a mysterious lodge her work set up for her. The lodge is known for being a crime scene at one point from the serial killer Eric Myers who currently resides in prison. Alex suddenly wakes up to blood all over the place and her friends are no where to be found. This sends her on a thrilling adventure to find out the truth. This is a three star read that releases September 3rd 2024.

This was a wild ride. Fast paced & thrilling! I didn’t love the characters incompetence though… but that seems to track with how dumb they are in horror movies! Overall the book was good! I will recommend to all my thriller junkies!

I DNF this book about 100 pages in. I could not connect with the characters and was annoyed and aggravated. This just wasn’t it for me.

i enjoyed it but i felt like it dragged on. although the idea/plot was really good. i definitely wasn’t a fan on alex’s friends unfortunately.
also the format on my kindle was brutal so that made it a bit hard to read and follow along.

This was fantastic. I really enjoyed reading it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC!

I devoured The Bachelorette Party. There are so many twists and turns in this book that make it's claws sink deep. I really enjoyed how it kept me guessing. I also liked the protagonist Alex and how quick witted she was. Thank you to Netgalley, Sandra Block, and Scarlet Publishing for allowing me to read this ARC.
