A wannabe Lord of the Flies in the digital age, but this one just fell flat for me. Although the premise was great, the author completely forgot to build any story or lead up to the breakdown of society. A few chapters of character development BEFORE the slaughter would have done wonders in helping the reader understand why the slaughter happened. This comes off way more campy than creepy. Not a fan.
