The 100 Society

This book took me right back to my teenage years when I used to buy every single Point Horror book and read them obsessively. Sadly the teen horror genre seemed to fade away to be replaced by paranormal romance, dystopian, contemporary, all of which I love but I always craved the suspense of a good horror book.
I have read and love all of James Dawson's books and this debut book by Carla Spradbery is right up there with them, I read it in a day whizzing through it eager to know who the stalker was, I think I guessed pretty much everybody except who it actually was.
I really hope this is a sign the teen horror genre is making a triumphant return and I look forward to reading more books by this very promising new author.

Suspenseful and chilling, this YA novel will also entertain older readers. Recommended for all middle school collections

I really enjoyed this story.

Grace Becker is a sixth-form student preparing for an art exhibit with her friends. On the side they are also attempting to become members of the 100 Society. The 100 Society is an elite group of people that have tagged 100 locations around the city with their own individually created graffiti marker. However, their obsession with becoming members leads to one student dying, another student being permanently blinded in one eye, and more chaos than they ever imagined. Grace must figure out who has been stalking them and tagging over their marks with a Reaper before all of her friends are killed.

Another great horror read for the summer! I enjoyed this story and I was definitely second guessing myself the entire book trying to figure out who was the Reaper. The author does a great job of keeping you on your toes!
