lowkey kinda bad and boring and the ending was rushed 2/10 would not recommend
Don't judge a book by its cover. This book has an awesome cover.
A whole lot of stuff happens to characters you don't really care about for reasons that aren't really convincing.
Tom Hoyle obviously believes that boys only want to read action because that's all this book is. Boys don't. They want to read about characters they care about. You need character development for that. That's also what keeps them coming back for the sequels.
A waste of a good premise.

This was something of a cover buy. Careless, I know, but I'm a sucker for coloured page-edges.
It was an okay read, but definitely intended for a younger audience. I feel like I would've loved this if I had read it at, say, 13 years of age. The characters were fairly bland, and the plot (crazy guy is crazy, wants to kill people) didn't exactly drip with originality. It's fine for younger readers, but there's better stuff out there.

Fast, insane and very creepy. First book I've read dealing with cults, and it was a great choice. The only thing stopping me giving this 5 stars was the thirteen idea.
It works in a oooh-creepy-thirteen-culty-thematic way. And overall it doesn't really ruin the plot, it's fairly believable that resourceful thirteen year olds could do those things. The main characters age just irked me throughout the entire story.
But then again I'm reading a children's book, so the target audience really isn't me.
