Summary: When cult leader Jacob Crawley's compound burned to the ground, only a few teenagers remained alive. Before his death, Jacob warned the teens that they would each die in the way they feared most. Five years after the fire, one of the teens is found drowned in a field, nowhere near water. One by one, the teens start to die horrifically, just as predicted, and the remaining teens set out to try to outsmart fate.
My thoughts:
This book reads just like a horror movie, complete with wanting to scream at characters, "don't go in there!" A gory story, with lots of grisly dead teenagers, a la Friday the 13th. Like most horror movies, the ending was a little disappointing, and this is no great work of literature, but it sure was fun to read! There aren't very many horror novels out there that are truly scary but still reviewed for middle schoolers, so this is a stand-out choice for horror junkies (like me).
