The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring
1.0

This was the most unbelievably confusing and ridiculous book I have ever read. I didn't get it, not at all. It's been a year since I read this and I still don't know what happened at the end. Did everyone die? Was the whole story about a video game? Did the steak dude do anything? Was everyone actually a ghost?! I don't know.

The first 100 pages were fine and interesting but all of a sudden Faring started dropping 1000 miles out of the box plot pointss and twists and turns that made no sense whatsoever, so by the time I made it to page 350 I didn't even know who was who. I resorted to reading spoilers to at least get an idea of what happened in the end, but even then I couldn't figure it out. All I know is that is that it had something to do with ghosts and a cheese steak eating demon god.

A good premise, but a bad story. Very cluttered and scattered.
