When high school senior's Minnie and Meg get invited to the party of the year, they have no doubts that this party will be the one everyone will be talking about for weeks to come. It seems like the perfect scenario, an empty "McMansion" loaded with drinks and food, some of the hottest high school students, from the jocks to the beauty queens, and three fun days of music and partying. When an unexpected storm hits the island, the teens suddenly feel secluded from the outside world and mother nature isn't the only one causing havoc on their party weekend. When the teens decide to watch a mysterious DVD, a sinister message stating "Vengeance is mine" appears and the teens start dying as their past and secrets catch up to them. Alliances start to turn and everyone starts to suspect each other. Can Meg and Minnie and the rest of the group figure out who the killer is before there's no one left alive?
This re-imaging of the famous Agatha Christie novel, "And Then There Were None." is a very fast and suspenseful read. If you're looking for a good "who done it" type of novel and don't mind reading this in the dark, this book is for you! I enjoyed how the identity of the killer wasn't given away, and this part kept me guessing till the very end. There are some typical horror movie cliches in this book, but overall it was fun and suspenseful.
