Wow! This book blew me away! Let me give you a little bit of a back story.
Summer began and I was excited for more reading time. As the summer went on I stopped reading as much. I got into a big reading slump. I just got back yesterday from a trip to New York City where I went to the Strand 2 times. I got the Merciless for $9 thinking that it was a new release and I was excited because it was about torture, something I rarely read. Actually I never do. It was going to be something different. When I started I couldn't stop. This book was intense and I was always on the edge of my seat. So I read it in 2 days and got yelled at many times to "Stop reading". Oops.
This book was 5/5 for me. Many people didn't enjoy this book because of the torture aspect, but that is what made this book different. If you cant handle that kind of stuff don't read the book because you wont enjoy it. If you like horror please read this book!
The Merciless is about a girl named Sofia who is new to town. She meets a girl named Brooklyn and they hit it off in the lunchroom. Sofia is torn between Brooklyn and a group of girls I would call the Popular Girls. Riley, the head of the 3 girls in the group of popular girls comes up with the idea for Sofia to spy on Brooklyn to figure out why Brooklyn stopped being friends with them when they got into high school. So Sofia goes to Brooklyn's party and hangs out with a boy named Charlie.
Sofia sees Brooklyn kissing Riley's boyfriend so she runs and runs until she gets to Riley's house and tells her. Riley is very upset. She says they need to help Brooklyn because she is evil. Sofia says yes. Little does she know Riley's idea of helping Brooklyn is a exorcism.
This book had me constantly turning pages. I was always at the edge of my seat from around page 90 mostly. I had to put this book down a few times to just calm myself down and tell myself it was just a book just a book just a book.
If you enjoy horror I highly recommend this book!
ALSO there is going to to more to this series so don't worry when you see the cliff hanger.
