Nine students. Three blood-sports. One deadly weekend.
Greer McDonald is struggling to settle into the exclusive Boarding School commonly referred to as S.T.A.G.S; she has no real friends to speak of, and is struggling to make it through. Greer, unexpectedly, receives a mysterious invitation for a weekend of "huntin' shootin' fishin'"; and in accepting this invitation, her life will change forever. Greer soon realises that this is not a normal sleepover weekend, and when she notices that the others invited are also outcasts at the school, she begins to question the true intentions of her hosts. Only one thing is clear; someone is not making it out of this weekend alive.
I was quite intrigued by this book based purely on the cover as I hadn't read the premise; it offered little in terms of explanation but still pulled me in and intrigued me. I'm so glad that I did; I really enjoyed this book, and especially Greer; she was sarcastic and witty, and everything I like in a main character. She wasn't perfect; she made mistakes, and did things that were daft, but I still really enjoyed the portrayal of her. I really enjoyed this book as a whole; the mysterious Order mentioned in the book, and the twist at the end really made this book interesting.
The only negative I have to say about this book is the fact that they tell us at the start that Harry dies; I think it would have been much more of a thriller if we didn't see any of that coming, and were experiencing things as Greer did. Other than that I loved it.
