For Dracula lovers and fans of Diana Urbans All Your Twisted Secrets, this spine-tingling thriller follows seven horror buffs as their dream trip to a remote Romanian castle turns into a nightmare when they begin to be killed one by one. Alex Rush is ready for the trip of a lifetime. She and her friends have made some creepily awesome films together throughout high school, so with only a few months left before they go their separate ways for college, theyre determined to make the best one yet: an epic documentary about the real inspiration for Dracula, filmed on location at a remote castle in Romania. But when they get there, its not quite the majestic setting they planned for. Menacing weapons line the walls, the twisted halls are easy to get lost in, and with no connection to the outside world, the group is unexpectedly off the grid. After just a few hours spent under its roof, Alex and her friends have no trouble imagining how this dark, terrifying castle inspired one of the most enduring horror novels of all time. Only soon they no longer have to use their imaginations to understand the locations terrifying historyjust as they get the documentarys first shot rolling, one of Alexs friends disappears, and shes nearly certain she saw a cloaked stranger lurking in the shadows. As more members of the group begin to meet an untimely demise, Alex is desperate to stop the bloodshed, even if it means facing a monster she never thought would be let loose.

My favourite thing about this book is the cover. Everything else was mediocre and boring. 🫣

I‘ve seen mixed reviews for this. I actually liked it. I thought the story was decent, it kept me interested, and it was pretty fast paced so it ended up being a quick read for me.

I read this for #TeamMonsterMash and #scarathlon2022. Glad I read it but not one I would normally pick up. I think they‘d do fine with about two fewer characters to keep track of. There is a twist at the end.

StayCurious did you figure out the twist in advance? 1y
Bookishgal71 I thought there was a twist, but I did not see this one coming. Did you?

A group of teenagers are working in a short film and this will be part of the project for Alex to enter to college. There is a possibility to travel to Romania to make the film and a fundraising is open to help with film costs. In Romania various murders occurred and everything is confused. Which parts are related with the real world which parts are related with the film? Surprised, didn‘t expect those twits. ⬇️

#Scarathlon2022

Finished earlier in the week for #TeamMonsterMash I think it suffered as a section a day #buddyread & picked up at the end when I read it all at once. As some of the others, I had the big twist figured out & found most of the characters annoying so just a so-so for me.

As team buddy read, it gets me 50 points & about 247 #ScararthlonWordSearch points (I may have missed a few) + an extra 15 for a #ScarathlonDailyPrompts bonus ⬇️

It was a slow start, but I did enjoy it overall, and was surprised by the twists (though I am not the best at guessing whodunnits to start with 🤣)

This got me 252 words and readathon points for #BookSpinBingo #31by31 #Pointsathon #Spookoween #BodyCountBingo #MultipleVictims #OctoberBookBingo #Woods and some of it counted towards #OutstandingOctober ☺️

#Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious I was so disappointed with this book. The characters were so shallow and I wasn't sure about the Lord King pin in the story for value in the plot. I never saw the ending coming. I actually thought they were all guilty at one point. (222 word search points) @Catsandbooks #Spookaween

I would never have picked this book to read and might not have finished it if it wasn‘t for the #TeamMonsterMash buddy read for #Scarathlon2022. 😅 I hated every single character but that twist ending I didn‘t see coming at all! So it bumped the book from a 2 to a 3.

#ScarathlonBuddyRead for #TeamMonsterMash #Scarathlon - I struggled reading this a section at a time to be honest, think I would have enjoyed it more by devouring in one sitting! Like some others, I guessed the twist about halfway through, and was great this morning to fly through the back 1/4 of the book, very enjoyable!

StayCurious Sometimes it's hard to read a book slowly! I agree it was better read quickly 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead Guys, I just had to finish it to find out if I was right - and without spoiling it for others, I totally called it right before they got to Romania. In the end I liked the story, although I don‘t think it made for a good slow reading buddy read. This one is meant to be read quickly. Thanks to everyone who read along with me: give yourselves an extra 100 points for putting up with my memes 😂

Read-y_Picker Yes definitely agree. If anyone DNFed or if having trouble with the slow read just go ahead and finish it! @StayCurious did you really call everything?! 1y
SeaToSkyes I must be an oblivious reader because I was shocked at the ending 😂 1y

AmandaBlaze Yeah, I had finished it early, and it was really hard to comment without giving anything away.. 1y
Bookworm54 The memes were my favourite part! 😂 they were always perfect haha 1y
DebinHawaii OK, now I am going to have to finish it and see if what I am thinking is correct! I have been holding back finishing for the buddy read but I must succumb & read it all tonight! 🧛🏻 1y
TheSpineView This ended up being a DNF for me. I didn't care for the characters and they just ended up getting on my nerves. I am going to chalk it up to not my tastes. 1y
bekakins I‘ve also just finished it… totally agree this is not one for reading slowly! 1y
bthegood I read it quickly and loved it, a good read for Halloween- and thank you for the memes - they were fun! (edited) 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.221-231: Alex and Jax are walking through the woods and Jax starts saying he doesn‘t want to go home, or to film school and he wants things to be different. Before Alex can talk sense into him, they see the man in the mask. Jax of course takes off running and they get separated. When Alex finds Jax in a maze, he‘s being killed in a downright horrible scene. At this point I need to know what‘s happening…should I just finish?

SeaToSkyes I just finished the audiobook. I got behind in the readalong, then once I was caught up I had to finish it! 1y
Bookworm54 I finished it more or less once all the killing started 😂 and as people have said the ending did surprise me too! Not that I am great at guessing these things in the first place! 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.212-220 - in the light of day the group decides that they need to split up - mainly because Reagan refuses to travel out to the road. So Alex and Jax head out to find cell signal and the road and Hazel, Reagan, and the seemingly delicate Kenna stay behind to find the computer or phone those strange cables are linked to. It‘s not a great plan. I think they should get out of dodge. But this is a horror story after all.

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.169-211: Sorry I‘ve been MIA! Threw party for my son‘s bday & haven‘t left kitchen in 3 days😅Things are really getting good now. It‘s pretty clear someone has come to Prahova to kill off the kids 1 by 1…or is it one of them? Are they being hunted or stalked by one of their own? They find Carter‘s grewsome decapitated body, Maddie is dead and the others are starting to get suspicious of each other. It‘s great!

Read-y_Picker It really feels like someone‘s setting Alex up. I get the feeling that she‘s being filmed and that her crew are in on it like in the beginning at Kennas house. I mean, they even got Maddie out of the way early, she could be doing the makeup and effects on subsequent bodies… 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.154-168 - Maddie is missing and the group splits up (always a good idea) to find her. Jax and Alex head outside to the terrace in the storm. On the way Jax notices that it looks as though the blood in the kitchen was staged. Someone is trying to scare them. Outside, Jax falls down the stairs and finds Maddie‘s body - so what happened? Did she fall and hit her head or did she meet with a more sinister end?

KristiAhlers Yeah I was yelling at the kindle when they split up 🤣. Sigh what could possibly go wrong? 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead Pg.145-153: this was a decent chapter for spookiness. The kids are left alone in the castle and in the middle of the night Alex hears someone playing music. Turns out to be the man in the mask she thought she saw earlier and she catches him on video but he disappears. And so does Maddie. Alex goes after her but finds the kitchen flooded by the storm and a bunch of blood…things are starting to get good now. 🩸 ⛈

AmandaBlaze The book definitely seems staged in two parts, what happens in the US and what happens in Romania. I like the action in and around the castle better rather than hearing them whine at each other in the US. 1y

It was hard to pinpoint their ages for me. They were worried about having sex and making fun of them for not having sex, but then they were afraid to be out and about without an adult… I didn‘t expect the ending but I still had a bunch of questions.

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.123-133: So the scream was for a bat - which - if you think about where they are - is pretty spooky. Kenna is acting strange, Maddie is too, and Alex reflects on how Jax has all the power in their group and possibly their relationship. Reagan claims he is looking into the lost money but later we find out that he never messaged Go Fund Me. So many questions…although I have my theories on how things are going to go.

AmandaBlaze My initial theory around this point (I finished the book) was Reagan was behind everything. He's really smart and into Alex and has some animosity towards Jax. The group seems to pretty much ignore him when he isn't doing something techy. Plus Devos kept mentioning how “nice“ he is. 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead Pg112-122: the author basically spends some time setting the creepy scene in the castle. Lots of statues of Vlad and dark artwork and swords hanging on walls, and hanging chandeliers and electricity that may not last through the upcoming storm. Jax and Alex are starting to light their own fire when they are interrupted by a scream. Finally, something is happening.

MoonWitch94 IT. BEGINS!! 🫣🥳 1y
AmandaBlaze I admit if I wasn't doing this as a buddy read, I might have bailed early on this one. 100+ pages is a little much to go without a lot of (any?) action in a thriller/horror novel. 1y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I think the scream is going to be over something silly. Maybe Hazel or Maddie spotted a rat or something. I dunno, I just get the feeling that this book is trying to fake us out before stuff really starts to happen. I know the author is painting Raul as a creeper, but so far I like him better than most of the teens. 😅 1y

bthegood @DebinHawaii I think you are right, I read the whole thing through and did not think it was slow - keep going, it was a good YA book (I thought) 🙂 1y
Read-y_Picker I confess I just read through. I really wasn‘t enjoying it one chapter at a time. Needed to get a bit more involved so that the whining and pining became less of a focal point 1y

Read-y_Picker @StayCurious I don‘t think that‘s it. Maybe if it were in chunks instead of chapters. It‘s always fun to toss out theories and see which stick 😊 1y

Crumbling around them in some spots and modern in others - interesting how Bloom was strategic with the photos she showed them so that she could get them there. A storm is brewing and the creepy caretaker leaves them on their own. Things should start getting spooky now.

My only cons are that the action sequences feel a bit labored & drawn out; the action gets lost in the over saturated details of the location. And, there were still some questions I had at the end; everything seems too quickly wrapped up. I also wished that the characters were more developed; some just seemed to be there to keep numbers equal. But overall, a really fun read.

🎃66 points for #TeamMonsterMash #BuddyRead #Scarathlon

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.76-100. The group arrives in Romania, and Catrinel Bloom takes off. Turns out she was using them as cover for going to a very expensive rehab. They find out they‘ll be with her creepy cousin, and someone stole all their Go Fund Me money. Kenna in particular is upset by this - which is strange. I think it was Catrinel tbh. Rehabs don‘t pay for themselves. The kids decide to go to the castle anyway - great idea!

AmandaBlaze This part kind of reminds me of a Scooby-Doo mystery, “Let's stay at the creepy castle. Nothing bad could possibly happen there!“ 1y
MoonWitch94 It‘s truly bizarre. I agree with @AmandaBlaze that this is giving Scooby & The Gang vibes. 1y

Read-y_Picker Yes, totally in agreement! I also would have just gone to the castle. I mean you‘re already there and it‘s spring break so only a few days… really sick of Alex constantly fawning over the bf. We get it already. Also all you friends are terrible. I‘m glad if she survives them all. 1y
StayCurious @Read-y_Picker maybe she‘s the one who ends up killing them lol - that would be a twist 1y
StellarDoc "Count1897" made me laugh. 1y
JacqMac Yes, yes, and yes. 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.60-75: Alex has a very cryptic conversation with her friend Maddie that leaves us with more questions than answers. Then Catrinel Bloom arrives and offers up the use of a castle to film their movie - Alex can‘t believe her luck! Finally things seem to be looking up - especially when their fundraiser really starts working too. But when you‘re up, the fall down tends to be worse.

KristiAhlers This all seems just too “perfect” and I have a feeling these friends are going to start breaking up into teams as it were once they get over there. 1y
StellarDoc Catrinel Bloom is the most interesting character right now. 1y

MoonWitch94 It‘s too good to be true…… 1y
MoonWitch94 @Bookishgal71 It‘s highly suspect. It‘s trip is doomed! Lol 😂 1y
bthegood For a director- Alex really lacks some basic observational skills - and the things she does observe she tends to ignore - 🤦‍♀️ 1y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I‘m not sure I‘d call this group a group of “friends”, honestly. I definitely don‘t trust Catrinel either. Despite us already knowing things don‘t end well for this group once they reach the castle, I don‘t have good feelings about this trip. 1y
Read-y_Picker @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I‘m with you 100% on that. 1y
JacqMac I have been playing catch up. These “friends” are so ugh! This trip is going to be interesting. 1y
Nessavamusic They are a hot mess and Alex seems a little passive to be a successful director… 1y
StayCurious @Nessavamusic I totally agree 1y

Mehso-so

I absolutely hated most of it, and only got past chapter one because it is my #teammonstermash buddy read.🤷🏻 Although I mostly hated it...it had a massive twist at the end that I didn't see coming! @StayCurious

StayCurious yeah I'm not enjoying it much either :( 1y

Good YA read about 7 friends in a remote castle getting killed one by one - stereotypical teen drama and bad decisions - good twists - I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this book! It's definitely not my usual read, but it was really suspenseful and there was a good plot twist at the end!

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.48-59: Alex‘s friends (who aren‘t very nice to each other btw) started a Go Fund Me page to make a longer version of her film. They all have their own interests at heart but it‘s still nice that they are willing to do something that will directly help Alex. And Reagan - well, he likes Alex as more than a friend it seems, so he‘s hoping she will finally see him. Still, they have a plan. Let‘s see how it plays out.

Read-y_Picker Yeah is this actually a friend group or just a group of people with a common interest and goal each looking out for themselves? Kind of feels like they‘re forced together. Or is Alex the glue and they all fit into her life separately? 1y
AmandaBlaze Sometimes they seem like frenemies, don't they? 1y

StayCurious @Read-y_Picker @AmandaBlaze maybe it‘s done by the author on purpose so we don‘t get too attached 1y
StellarDoc I'm keeping an eye on Reagan, for sure! 1y
KristiAhlers Me thinks this group is definitely made up of frenemies and that it‘s going to be a case of keeping your friends close and your enemies closer. 1y
BooksNBowls I think everyone is just looking out for themselves. But we also have to keep in mind this story is being told by Alex. She seems paranoid about everyone. Unreliable narrator? 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.37-47: Poor Alex. She‘s set her hopes and dreams on going to Film school and she gets waitlisted, while Jax gets in. So unfair - but the cynical part of me knows this is the way of the world. She runs into Catrinel Bloom again (the Romanian actress that will I‘m sure play a part in what happens next) who basically tells her it doesn‘t matter that she is talented, and Alex should get used to that. This book is depressing😕

MoonWitch94 UGHHHHH I was so mad. As an artist, don‘t screw with my art! Especially without my permission & as my partner—what a betrayal. So. Much. Misogyny. But what Catrinel says in the bathroom happens every day, in every space. 😞 1y
AmandaBlaze The scares pick up when they get to Romania. 1y

Bookworm54 I was so shocked that Jax figured he could re-edit the film for his application without even asking or mentioning it. Alex needs new friends… 1y
KristiAhlers I was angry for her when Jax did what he did. So frustrating to be honest. And I was upset with her for being not more upset if that makes sense. 1y
Read-y_Picker This book is just so depressing. Just keep turning the knife. I can't wait for someone to get killed!! 1y
StayCurious @Read-y_Picker I know right? 1y
JacqMac So depressing! I‘m frustrated for her. Like @Read-y_Picker said, bring on the murder. lol 1y
Bookishgal71 When I was younger, I got waitlisted for my top choice while my boyfriend got in. I had a higher GPA and more extracurriculars. I called the school and they basically told me that they had filled their quota of white girls. He was an Asian male - they hadn‘t filled that quota yet. College acceptances are not blind. This is hitting close to home. Gonna keep reading it though. 1y
Read-y_Picker @Bookishgal71 that is really rough but sounds accurate. I‘m sorry that happened to you. Again this story is just so depressing and frustrating so far. Glad you‘re able to keep with it for now! 1y
bthegood Alex's friends are not very good to her - Kenna and Jax are very self absorbed! 1y
StellarDoc I'm so ready for some of these "friends" to bite the dust! 1y

What in the Holy gen-z is this crap??? It is so bad. I'm only still listening to this audiobook for scarathlon points. I don't give a shit how many followers this bitch has...and the writing is so immature. The main character is a DRAMA QUEEN. Ugh

#bookspinbingo card! Also working on #promptmaze for #scarathlon … and the one good thing about Covid is I have watched a TON of spooky stuff!! OG IT, AHS, what we do in the shadows, ghosts to name but a few! Also enjoying the #scarathlonbuddyread although I‘m reading a section per day (I can‘t stop reading in the middle of a chapter it just feels wrong 🤣) so I‘m slightly out but enjoying reading everyone‘s comments once I get to the right bit!

A solid horror entry. It was a little slow in the beginning, but picked up once the reached Romania. It has a nice twist at the end. It's another good book for Word Search points.
