An instant favorite. Fast-paced, character-driven, switching perspectives illustrating all the places humanity cracks when you allow it to do its worst. Teenagers being teenagers and turning into monsters at the same time. This is what horror should be. God, I'm in love.

Dragged a little between page 400-550, but it ended really well. Great read

Pretty gruesome but still freaking amazing. If you like the Hunger Games, you need to read this. It is very similar (in fact, it was published before the HG so I think that Suzanne Collins copied this novel.....) to the Hunger Games. Just read it and you will understand. I will definitely reread this one when I have the chance.
