Sam wants to leave his past of surviving a massacre behind him as he goes off to college. He wants to live a normal live and join a fraternity. But when his soon-to-be fraternity brothers start getting murdered by a masked killer, he knows he can't sit back and watch. 

I think that The Pledge is everything you want in a YA horror novel. It was fast paced. It kept me gripped the whole time. And it had an ending that left me wanting more. Now, did the entire novel leave me wanting more, a little. I wish there was a little more development in the characters. I also wish that there were clues leading to the twist ending. Maybe other people were able to see to end, but I don't think there was a way to guess.
