It's Saw meets I Know What You Did Last Summer in this dark thriller by the New York Times bestselling authors of the Wicked series. Narrated by alternating members of an unreliable group of teens, this riveting thriller will have readers on the edge of their seats. No one is safe, and everyone is a suspect. Callabrese High's exclusive parties are famous for booze, sex, and most especially, their scavenger hunts. But when the latest invitees RSVP yes, they have no idea what they're in for. Because this time the high school elite aren't the ones doing the hunting. They're the ones being hunted. "The Rules follows all the rules of a truly creepy teen thriller: start out fast, keep the tension high, and kill great characters. Loved it!" --Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures and author of Unbreakable "The Rules is a must-read for fans of thrillers with truly frightening twists."--SLJ "Fans of the genre will be horrified, just the way they like it." --Booklist "Holder and Vigui� keep the action churning along as they bounce from teen to teen for different perspectives on the action, sometimes recording a murder with appropriate gore, sometimes an escape." --Kirkus Reviews "Turn on the fog machine and the theremin, and you have yourself a teen slasher movie replete with twists, deceits, romance, pyrotechnics, and a cute little dog."--The Bulletin From the Trade Paperback edition.

"The poor writing and descriptions in this book far outweighed the plot (which wasn't that great or well developed to begin with). Also, WAY too many characters and pov's to keep track of"
Annee N. Grayson
"<strong>Heartbreaking (spoilers)</strong><br/><br/>Having read the first book I was curious about Ainsley and Lambo. Ainsley is the product of growing up in a home subjected to years of abuse (trigger warning) by her father. As a consequence Ainsley has dealt with feelings of depression and anxiety for most of her adult life. Lambo is the heir to a hotel empire but is down to earth and sees something in Ainsley he hasn’t seen in any of his MANY conquests. Ainsley recruits Lambo to help deal with her sexuality agreeing to keep their arrangement a secret. From there it is hot escapades which develop into a tender love and respect. I enjoyed this story slightly more than the first."

"Definitely a fast read. Really liked the premise although it felt a little redundant. Had a hard time putting it down but was not super impressed by the ending. Definitely a fun read, however."
