when will we as a society do away with frats and sororities??

Pretty good! However, for something that was tag-lined to have a "killer twist", I was hoping for (& expected) more from the plot. There wasn't really a twist at all.
To me, a twist would've meant one of the friends was in on the plan (which is what I thought was going to happen the entire time and while I'm glad [for the sake of the characters] that it played out differently,
I was left waiting for a promised twist that was never delivered). 

I hated that one of the perpetrators died (that's never a good enough comeuppance for me)
but the epilogue left me feeling satisfied. Overall, this was good - the tone and setting were very atmospheric and creepy, which I loved and the fast pace kept me needing to know what would happen next!

A low (but still deserved) 4 star read!
