The Troop by Nick Cutter
4.0

Looking for a gruesome book? A good ol' picked-off-one-by-one horror? Then let me introduce you to this book, where the deaths and descriptions are beyond gross, the adults are quick to die and the children are left to fend for themselves against a terrifying and unseen enemy.

Do not read if children hurting themselves or each other is a trigger (think Lord of the Flies, but even worse). Also, I had to skip a scene of intense animal abuse (don't hurt cats, man) otherwise my rating would be MUCH lower and I would have stopped reading the book. Luckily it was just one part and I could easily skip over it and get back to the horrible deaths of humans. Let's face it, we watch shows and read books with humans doing the worst things to each other, but by God if you so much as harm an animal you will be hated forevermore.
