Very disappointing!

The writing is juvenile and the story is just as bad, so we know what it's about, college students going to a house they have to spend 8 hours in (all doors and windows are locked) before they can receive a chance at a scholarship funded by a 'rich' family

So, I kept waiting and waiting for this book to get 'creepy' or 'thrilling' or 'edge of the seat suspense' but NO, it doesn't have any of that
The conversations are on the juvenile side and the repeat? OMG, it doesn't make a lot of sense even as you turn the pages and have to read repeat again and again and again
I skipped and skimmed the last 1/4 of the book and by that time I didn't care about any of it

I'd say this is for the YA reader but I wouldn't give it to anyone under 15, lots of bad language
