'Ten' blows horror/suspense out of the water. Vibrant and very vivid, you’ll think you’re on the island trying desperately to avoid death from an unknown killer – most likely one of your new friends. Well written, 'Ten' demands visceral reactions from its readers as instinct to hide or turn the page and go deeper into the mindset of each character. Simply put, it’s gleeful terror in perfection.
First I am generally not a fan of who done its, but I liked this one. Was it original? Some parts but more like twists to plots we have already seen. It's hard to review it without giving it away. I didn't see the killer being who it was but how could you. A small fact just barely acknowledged was the BIGGEST clue as to who the murderer was. Well done.

It was fine for a YA thriller/mystery , and once you get past the first~7 chapters, the book moves quick.
A very bland murder mystery where none of the characters feel like people, so the reader feels nothing when they die one by one. The dialogue for the teenagers is especially atrocious.
Ehh...(No Spoilers)
It was...okay. I can't say it was bad, but it wasn't heart-pumping amazing either. A few moments had me by the ropes, but most of the book was just average at best.
It was true what people said, that I would never guess who the killer is because that was a total shock that the author knew no one would ever guess that person. But it seemed that this whole story centered around this Homecoming thing and honestly, I got so sick of hearing about Minnie's love for T.J. and what Meg did to him at Homecoming and blah blah blah.
This book was clearly meant for 8th graders in the way that it's written and the storyline on the book. Sadly, I'm in the 11th grade, thinking this would be a short and enjoyable read. I had to stop reading for about a month because it lost my interest for moment there, then when I really got into it, took my 2-3 days to finish.
Overall, interesting story, done before many times. Many, many times. Cool little murder mystery for a short vacation or something, won't blow your mind or anything. Enjoy.
