9 stars. Expect nothing. A mix of home invasion, sociopath, sadist, Adrenaline dependent. Good ending

So I've read this book in one day. Two sittings but one day. You've got six friends who don't see that much after school and they meet. It's way of the owner of the house to tell his friends that his girlfriend is pregnant. The main problem is that all of his friends don't like him - like at all. They pick so much on him because he is quite rich and from time to time he do stuff that piss them off since he is awfully rich. I find it strange to be honest. So a guy is rich and he wants to help other people and it sounds in their head that he feeling superior to them. I didn't get that much as those other characters. Well... moving on.

These people are getting ready to eat when someone arrives at their home and asks for help. As they are waiting for a truck to pick his car up he asks if they want to play a game. Afterwards everything went to shit. You've got some sick games that not only are physical but also pyschological. Jon Athan again shows us then when people are on the brink of despair they show their true colours. It's quite good thriller but if you don't like to read about killing, suffering, cutting and so on then you shouldn't go here. Bear in mind that there is no sexual stuff (which I find a little odd but maybe it was on purpose).

The ending was quite interesting because you are used the books going one way - but yeah this one wasn't. It was highly refreshing to be say the least
