When I enrolled on ReadersFirst I had the chance to get a free copy of STAGS or the Mayfly. I chose the latter and I am very glad because it turned out to be an amazing thriller. But I was also very curious about STAGS so I bought it and read it. The idea behind it is what lured me in. I mean, a cultist,secluded private school and a murder? How could I say no to such a dark and twisted idea? But the thing is, while reading it I didn't quite grasp that sense of darkness. It's not that the writing was bad, because it wasn't, but the atmosphere wasn't there for me. And it's a shame because it could be a very creepy and scary thriller! I do have to say that I wish I could see these kind of concepts more often in YA novels!
