Not what I was expecting, but in the best way.
This novel was brilliant. I went into it expecting it to be your typical "psycho hunting and killing survivors of other massacres horror movie style book" but it was so much more. The twists and turns it took lead me to think it was going one way...then another...then another. I loved every minute of it and struggled to put it down. The story flowed so easily. I will definitely be picking up more of Riley Sagers novels. Well worth the read for any horror/thriller/mystery fan. 12/10 would highly recommend.

Mysterious, brilliant and horrifying
Not horrifying in the way your being chased by a knife wielding maniac in a mask but.... You'll just have to read it.
For me I loved this book. It was well written and I especially loved that a lot of things were described with movie references as the narrator is a movie buff. I also really enjoyed that this kind of read like a memoir or biography which only added to how great this was.
The atmosphere of this book was something like "You're next" meets "Heathers," it was creepy and cult like and the feeling for me was like, well imagine your in a house of people who appear really nice, but you know they all have kitchen knifes in their pocket and your just waiting for them to kill you? It was like that because you could not tell what was going to happen or when it was going to happen. But you knew SOMETHING was going to happen. The ending was brilliant in true horror style and in my opinion it was the most horrifying thing that could have happened. Full of brilliant characters, suspense, cult like conspiracies and of course, "Huntin' Shootin' Fishin'" 12/10 if your a horror fan or want a thriller this is the book for you.

wow
I don't know what I expected from this novel whatsoever, as it's not my usual book to read but the total caught my eye and so did the blurb.
I loved it. I loved every single second of it. E.Lockhart has this way of writing that draws you in, into the story, the characters , their world. I'm usually really good at figuring out what direction the story is going to take but this time I didn't figure it out. The twist (I won't spoil anything) got me. It got me really hard. It was such a beautiful book, in every sense. Please, if you are thinking about reading this, please do. It is a perfect summer read for when you are lying by an ashey bonfire or sunbathing on a beach. 10/10

Gooey and funny
I really enjoyed this, and to be honest it was the first book I've read that was from the poi r of view (well not exactly the p.o.v) of a lesbian\bi. A book that heavily featured lesbians - well because most of the lgbt themed books I read tend to feature guys. But I loved this so much. I'm glad that it wasn't told from the p.o.v from your typical skinny girl, because girls are so much more than that and Molly is beautiful in every single way. I loved the sister dynamics and I loved loved loved the fact that their family was so special, and their mom's are so fantastic. It was a perfect mix of different cultures and sexuality and it was just so.... PERFECT. It was touching, funny and the way the story flowed was similar to SVTHSA and it was made even better by the abby and Nick cameos. Honestly a really brilliant, easy to read coming of age novel.

Just read it. I dare you
Whether or not you love it hate the film ( personally I loved it) you should read this regardless. It was COMPLETEY different from the film. The only thing that is the same is the characters (although some are different and some are new) and the concept of the game. Everything else was different and it was amazing. The dares, the ending , absolutely everything. I think I prefer the book version of the characters. It was such a thrill ride that left me dreading the unexpected and expecting everything to go wrong at any point. The concept was fantastic and I urge everyone to read this novel. Only if you've got the nerve though.

Creepy, haunting, brilliant
This book has been on my TBR pile for some time and I have no idea why I put it off for so long because it was brilliant. It was perfect to fill the void in my life while waiting for season 14 of supernatural. So yeah any fans of the show please go pick up this book and the sequel immediately (I haven't read the second one but I guarantee of its anything like this one I will devour it)
The world of ghosts and witches felt natural and not forced, no over the top fireballs flying from hands of stupid stuff. It was just as if superstitions and witchcraft were real. The characters were well thought out and I loved Cas and his little group of Ghostbusters he acquired throughout this book. The story was amazing and took a turn on a direction I wasn't seeing but to be honest I couldn't tell where this book was going to end up. Would he kill anna, wouldn't he, and that's what I loved. The unexpected turns and the world Kendare Blake created. 12/10 all lovers of the supernatural and even romance fans will enjoy.

Couldn't of asked for a better ending
if you haven't already , Just read it. And ADIB first of course. Honestly it was everything you could want from a sequel and a cookbook in a series. My only regret is I waited so long to read both. 12\10

F****** Brilliant!
"Being gay maybe isn't a curse, but it's f*****g exhausting"
I have never resonated with a book so much in my life. I fell in love with Rafe and I'm so glad he wasn't your typical gay kid that some people tend to write about. I liked that he was gay, but didn't want it to define who he was. I understood his need to move schools to start over and I was so happy for him. The way this book is written just makes you call so deep into his mind and his feelings. It reminded !e of when I first came out and how I didn't want to be "that gay kid" either. The ending was bittersweet, I won't spoil anything but I have the short ebook "open,honestly" and the sequel "honestly Ben" all ready to go and can't wait to see how it turns out! Five stars isn't enough. 14/10 would highly recommend. A gay kid at a all boys boarding school. What could possibly go wrong?
