Description
I Know What You Did Last Summer meets Point Horror in this YA debut.
Friendships unravel and lives are risked in this suspenseful debut thriller where no one is above suspicion...
For sixth-form student Grace Becker, The 100 Society is more than just a game; it's an obsession. Having convinced her five friends at Clifton Academy to see it through to the end, Grace will stop at nothing to carry out the rules of the game: tagging 100 locations around the city. With each step closer to the 100-mark they get, the higher the stakes become. But when the group catches the attention of a menacing stalker - the Reaper - he seems intent on exposing their illegal game, tormenting Grace with anonymous threats and branding their dormitory doors with his ominous tag.
As the once tight-knit group slowly unravels, torn apart by doubt and the death of a student, they no longer know who to trust.
With time running out, Grace must unmask the Reaper before he destroys everything she cares about for ever...

This book took me right back to my teenage years when I used to buy every single Point Horror book and read them obsessively. Sadly the teen horror genre seemed to fade away to be replaced by paranormal romance, dystopian, contemporary, all of which I love but I always craved the suspense of a good horror book.
I have read and love all of James Dawson's books and this debut book by Carla Spradbery is right up there with them, I read it in a day whizzing through it eager to know who the stalker was, I think I guessed pretty much everybody except who it actually was.
I really hope this is a sign the teen horror genre is making a triumphant return and I look forward to reading more books by this very promising new author.

Grace Becker has become obsessed with the game the 100 Society. She enlists five of her friends from Clifton Academy to help her, and together they race around town – the goal being to tag 100 items, with each challenge more daring than the one before. But they have an audience, The Reaper is watching everything they do and suddenly the students become a part of the game they never anticipated. They are targeted and their property tagged, after one of them is killed, Grace knows she must do whatever she can to identify the Reaper and bring the game to an end before more die.
Suspenseful and chilling, this YA novel will also entertain older readers. Recommended for all middle school collections

I really enjoyed this story.
Grace Becker is a sixth-form student preparing for an art exhibit with her friends. On the side they are also attempting to become members of the 100 Society. The 100 Society is an elite group of people that have tagged 100 locations around the city with their own individually created graffiti marker. However, their obsession with becoming members leads to one student dying, another student being permanently blinded in one eye, and more chaos than they ever imagined. Grace must figure out who has been stalking them and tagging over their marks with a Reaper before all of her friends are killed.
Another great horror read for the summer! I enjoyed this story and I was definitely second guessing myself the entire book trying to figure out who was the Reaper. The author does a great job of keeping you on your toes!
