Ten Review

Hey guys it’s Meagan and today I’m here to review Ten by Gretchen McNeil, a book about, murder, suspense, and mystery!

“SHHHH!

Don't spread the word!

Three-day weekend. Party at 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?” –goodreads.com summery

First, I enjoyed this book; it had good action, suspense, character, and a really good plot twist. I only have two real gripes about it and that is 1) it took a little while for the action to start. The first (around) 75 pages of this book are really just set up, which I would normally be okay with; it’s just that I went into this book expecting to be gripped by the first 50 pages, and I didn’t get that. And 2) the end is kinda confusing. Now I’m not going to go into detail about exactly what happened (because that’s for my spoiler review) but what I will say is that there is a big plot twist at the end of the book and it gets pretty confusing. For anyone who has read the book I have a spoiler review here on my YouTube where I go into more detail on why it’s confusing.

Now for all the positives! I really enjoyed the characters in this book, specifically Meg. Meg was just a good, loyal, and smart protagonist making it fun to read from her POV. I also enjoyed the action and suspense towards the end of the novel. The end definitely kept me guessing and reading!

Overall, I enjoyed this book and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys suspense or horror type books. For anyone who has read the book, you can find my spoilery/ more in-depth review on my YouTube HERE!
