It's seriously one gripping, twisted with unpredictable characters and storyline. I kid you not. As for the early pages, my mind was somewhere else and it takes me slow to get into the story and I wondered what's with that. But then, things start to get chaotic. I mean what could go wrong with a sleepover?? And when it does, it's every mother's nightmare.
