This sounded so familiar to me, I felt like I must have
seen it before, after racking my brain and multiple
internet searches, I realized it was a horror novel I read
a couple years ago:
https://ibb.co/prvHmQg6
Looks like the author has penned two sequels since then,
too:
https://ibb.co/x82xVHGb
I remember it as being a slick little horror novel in the
genre of 80s slasher movies, with enough independent
creativity to make more than just a retread of Freddy and
Jason. I'll be interested to see the movie version.
