Stephen King meets Pretty Little Liars in this pulse-pounding novel from the author of The Merciless Just back from rehab, Casey regrets letting her friends Shana, Julie, and Aya talk her into coming to Survive the Night, an all-night, underground rave in a New York City subway tunnel. Surrounded by frightening drugs and menacing strangers, Casey doesn’t think Survive the Night could get any worse... ...until she comes across Julie’s mutilated body in a dank, black subway tunnel, red-eyed rats nibbling at her fingers. Casey thought she was just off with some guy—no one could hear her getting torn apart over the sound of pulsing music. And by the time they get back to the party, everyone is gone. Desperate for help, Casey and her friends find themselves running through the putrid subway tunnels, searching for a way out. But every manhole is sealed shut, and every noise echoes eerily in the dark, reminding them they’re not alone. They’re being hunted. Trapped underground with someone—or something—out to get them, Casey can’t help but listen to Aya’s terrified refrain: “We’re all gonna die down here.”

I skimmed the last half of the book and from what I read I have no strong desire to continue. I feel like it could make for a nice teen horror film or a horror comedy movie.
What a disappointment.
I was all set up for a great YA thriller about these teens being hunted by some serial killer or something through the sewers. Except it took a good 3rd of the book to even get to the underground rave. There was no investment in the characters, cause absolutely everyone was so flawed and to top it all off, the bloody “big bad” was Spoilersome tentacled sewer monster, which completed did not fit the tone of the book.
Meanwhile, here I was making theories, all of which would have been vast improvements on the plot.
Oh and that ending! SpoilerLets make out even though my supposed best friend was just mutilated. WTF!!!
Cannot remember the last time I was more disappointed with a book.
