Don't spread the word!
Three-day weekend. House party.
White Rock House on Henry Island.
You do NOT want to miss it.
It was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—an exclusive house party on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie each have their reasons for being there (which involve T.J., the school’s most eligible bachelor) and look forward to three glorious days of boys, booze and fun-filled luxury.
But what they expect is definitely not what they get, and what starts out as fun turns dark and twisted after the discovery of a DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine.
Suddenly people are dying, and with a storm raging, the teens are cut off from the outside world. No electricity, no phones, no internet, and a ferry that isn’t scheduled to return for two days. As the deaths become more violent and the teens turn on each other, can Meg find the killer before more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever imagine?

Katie: So i am super excited to read this book. Yesterday looking at everyones TTT i kept comming across this book "TEN". i love this plot, kids at a party on a deserted island, then people start dying off one at a time! who i the killer?!??
to me this sounds similar to the movie plots of "Ten Little Indians" and "And Then There Were None", but even more recently is the mini-series "Harpers Island" which is avaliable for you to watch instantly on Netflix if you have it. great movie!!!! If you watch Harper's Island and personally don't get addicted to it , then you have the green light to send me some hate mail if you wish. I watched all 13 episodes in two days!
anyways, can't wait to get my hands on this book, i know its all ready released, but i am so behind on my reading. hopefully i can get to it soon.
Have you read TEN, and if so what did you think? What are you waiting on ? let me know in the comments !
I have seriously been seeing this book EVERYWHERE lately -- I think I should seriously consider reading it! Thanks for sharing :) You're right though it sounds a lot like Agatha Christie...will be interesting to see how it is.
ReplyDeletei know , seriously right, it must be a great book! if you get around to reading it before i do let me know what you think of it. thanks for stopping by Christine!
