Ten
by Gretchen McNeil
Gretchen McNeil's debut novel, Possess, is one of my favorite YA horror stories. As soon as I heard about Ten I knew I had to read it. I'm happy to say that I loved Ten even more than I loved Possess.
Ten is pretty much a horror movie in book form. It's fast-paced, terrifying, and will have you on the edge of your seat. There were times when I wanted to yell at the characters because they definitely did some stupid stuff but I expected that. It didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story.
The best thing about Ten is how quick a read it is. The chapters are short which made it seem even shorter. It's an impossible book to put down and it will only take an hour or so to read. Sure I love a good 500 page book but on a rainy day, Ten is the book to go for.
The plot is a little predictable but I was never 100 percent certain as to who the killer was. I kept second guessing myself and I definitely guessed the wrong person a few times. The story was full of twists and turns that I never saw coming and I loved that about it.
Meg was a strong main character. She was one of the first people to realize what was going on. She was one of the only people who kept a clear head throughout the murders and she always had good ideas as to how to help save them. She was just really likable, smart, witty, and kind. She was one of the things I liked most about the book.
Overall, Ten is a must-read for horror fans. And even if you aren't a horror fan, I'd recommend this one. It's not too scary but it will definitely leave you checking around corners and leaving lights on.
