I really enjoyed this book.I love horror. This fit the bill there. Was it super scary? Not really.It had mystery, a bit of violence and gore, but because it was such a whodunnit, it lacked in scare factor.Still it was a great mind bend! In the last few chapters especially. It took me where I was lik...

Minnie's face was deathly pale. - First sentence This is a YA novel "inspired by Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None" (according to the Amazon page). Ten teenagers are at a house party on an island full of summer homes in the middle of February. There is a huge storm which of course kno...

I was really hoping to love this story more. But to me it was just trying to be a cheesy mystery/horror type of book, you would watch as a movie. I thought some of the murders in the book were gross but done in a very cheesy way. I really did love the character of Dee, she thought she had no one to...

No mysteries about it--Ten is entirely unremarkable. In all honesty, the 'several kids stuck on an island with a murderer' concept is hardly a new one, and the extreme archetypes of high schoolers that most definitely exist here make for a quite status-quo-abiding story, albeit a somewhat more excit...

For as long as I've been reading books, I haven't been reading much horror. From the two actual horror novels I've read, Horrorstor and 172 Hours On The Moon, I know it's a genre that I enjoy, but i also know I only enjoy it if it's an extremely unique concept and the novel focuses primarily on the ...

All right, folks, the wine is out of my system and I had a good night's sleep. It's time for an actual review! As I said last night, I wasn't happy with this one. There were some parts I like, which I'll talk about in a bit, but for the most part I was disappointed. I finished the book just to fin...

Finished Ten tonight. I did not like it guys. It felt painful to read it after a point. In fact, I sped through it as fast as I could because I wanted to get it over with. I'd like to write a fully fleshed out review for this one. However, I have had WAY too much wine (hooray for wine!) tonight, s...

There was nothing really spectacular about this one. It was a very short, quick read and I didn't think it was particularly creepy or scary. It's about a group of "Ten" high school kids who go to a secluded island for a weekend house party and get knocked off one by one. Similar to Agatha Christie's...

2.5/5 stars “You’re going to have fun this weekend if it kills me.”I never read And Then There Was None, I meant to and now I’m a bit sad that I read this one first. I think this book is going to make Christie’s masterpiece less enjoyable when I finally do. It seems that a less “high school” version...

This was a re-read. So did I love this book as I did back almost 3 years ago? Yes, yes I did. I only remembered some stuff, and at times I felt like I knew more than I wanted, but most of it has luckily faded away. Phew!Most of my old review still applies, but I want to update and write a new one ...
