Review:
Kylie and her friends have rented a gorgeous beach house so they can party as much and as loudly as they'd like after prom. Unfortunately, not long after they start their partying, Kylie and her friend Aubrey discover Cam, Aubrey's boyfriend, dead. Kylie is convinced that he was murdered and that his murderer could still be somewhere nearby. When the cops arrive, however, Cam's body is gone, and Kylie and the others can't convince them that it isn't a prank.
Now the cops are gone, and everybody's stuck in the house as a violent storm hits and takes down a nearby power line. When yet another person in their group winds up dead, it seems more and more likely that whoever killed Cam is still among them. Can they find the killer before whoever it is claims more victims?
While reading this, I was strongly reminded of the movie Bodies Bodies Bodies, although that movie was a lot slicker and had more fun moments. Kylie and her friends weren't exactly likeable, although it was hard to even properly dislike them since readers were told so little about most of them, just A is sleeping with B and whatnot.
I feel like this might have been a more enjoyable book if it had embraced its slasher aspects more, but the body count was surprisingly low considering how quickly the paranoia and distrust ramped up. For the most part, this book and its characters were just dull and vaguely annoying.
