fast-paced

3.5

Pretty fast paced and was pretty good. The characters were not my favorites but overall the story was good. Kept me guessing on who the big bad was.

Quite repetitive, especially in the beginning. I know it’s a whodunnit but when there are only four who’s who could have dunnit, it could have used some more external conflict to spread things out.

It's like the breakfast club combined with a whodunnit! This book is suspenseful and mysterious and though the plot wasn't too "new" or different, the ending still took me by surprise because you know just enough for the story to possibly go in many different directions. 
It was a quick read and definitely one I enjoyed - and one that was great for easing into spooky season.

I spent most of the book mentally screaming at these characters not to make the decisions they did. The entire storyline felt way over the top and outrageous and lacked the subtlety it needed to make it actually be thrilling/scary.
