FROM PUBLISHER: Five not-so-popular teens are invited to an annual party given by snooty Cass. Ushered into the mansion, they are soon part of a human scavenger hunt.















MY THOUGHTS: I was pleasantly surprised by this. Sarah is a high school junior. She and friends Eleanor, Maggie, Shane (female), and Donald are all very likable. Some are excited to go to wealthy Cass Rockham's party and it turns out to be a horrible decision. Cass is cruel but I like her anyway. She sure has a dark mind.

The teenage villain was pretty creative and sophisticated to have come up with such a revenge scheme. I loved that there were monitors in the rooms to film those in them. I wish their reason for revenge had been darker; instead it was just immature. Of course it's not plausible that this could ever really happen.
