Ten teens. Three days. One killer. It was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—an exclusive house party on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie are looking forward to two days of boys, booze, and fun-filled luxury. But what starts out as fun turns twisted after the discovery of a DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine. And things only get worse from there. With a storm raging outside, the teens are cut off from the outside world . . . so when a mysterious killer begins picking them off one by one, there’s no escape. As the deaths become more violent and the teens turn on one another, can Meg find the killer before more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever imagine? Perfect for fans of Christopher Pike’s Chain Letter and Lois Duncan’s I Know What You Did Last Summer, Ten will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page! Agatha Christie Inspired: In this classic whodunit, ten teens are lured to a remote mansion only to find themselves trapped with a killer who wants revenge. Slasher Horror: A mysterious killer begins picking off the guests one by one, turning a weekend of fun into a terrifying fight for survival. No Escape: A raging storm cuts the island off from the outside world, leaving the teens with no way to call for help and nowhere to run. Psychological Thriller: As the body count rises, paranoia takes over. The teens turn on one another, suspecting the killer could be anyone—even their closest friends. A Sinister Vengeance Plot: It all starts with a mysterious DVD and a chilling message: Vengeance is mine . But who is the target, and why? Review: 5. Actual. Stars. If you like mysteries you NEED to read this. - Rating: 5 Stars (No halves, no conditions. 5. Actual. Stars.) This review originally appeared on my Goodreads Profile and my blog, "In Review". Oh. My. Goodness. This. Book. I tried so hard to come up with a flaw that this book had. Ever since I saw the blurb I was SO excited to read this, and so, naturally, I half-expected it to be awful, or at least have some major problem that would ruin my excitement and enjoyment. SO not the case. I'll admit, this book does start slow. You have a handful of chapters of somewhat annoying exposition, with the main character, Meg, being a little whiny and a little annoying, and all the other characters being VERY annoying. You have the standard love triangle with a twist (the twist being one side of this love triangle is kind of insane). Then you have hints towards past events that aren't fully explained, which make the reader go "wait, did I just miss...no, okay, they're not going to tell us what that means yet." Once you get past this beginning, however, the book begins to pick up. People start to die. (That isn't a spoiler, the blurb clearly states it.) And then, once you hit the halfway point or so of the book, it TAKES. OFF. My reaction on just about every page of the second half was "OHMYGOODNESS, really?" "THAT happened?!?!" "Are THEY the killer?" "No, it has to be THEM." "OMG NO HOW COULD IT BE....WAIT WHAT." In addition to the fast pace and the legitimately fright inducing writing, this book had a real plot. And it was a FANTASTIC plot. And I was freaking out the whole time trying to figure it out. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I do watch/read a lot of murder mysteries, and I totally didn't figure this one out. The author sufficiently twisted my brain around and kept me from seeing what was right in front of me, and it's safe to say I didn't know exactly how this would turn out until the ending. Once I saw it laid out, it made perfect sense, and I was SO HAPPY. The entire book I was terrified the ending was going to be stupid, and it was anything but. Another major plus to this book: It has a message. It's a somewhat hidden, underlying message about the potentially tragic effects of bullying, and the consequences of your actions, and the author never chooses to hit her readers over the head by reiterating it, but it's there nonetheless. And, besides being a great and poignant message, it also serves to make this book modern, relevant, and relatable to YA readers. If you like murder mysteries or horror stories and you haven't read this yet, you really need to fix that. If you're trying to get into the genre with something creepy but not gut-wrenching, I definitely recommend this as well. Even if neither of these categories applies to you and you just want to read a really good book, I would still give this a try. In a nutshell: READ THIS BOOK. You won't regret it. Review: A Twist Ending I Didn't See Coming - THIS IS A SPOIL FREE REVIEW. “Ten teens. Three days. One killer. It was supposed to be the weekend of their lives-an exclusive house party on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie are looking forward to two days of boys, booze, and fun-filled luxury. But what starts out as fun turns twisted after the discovery of a DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine. And things only get worse from there. With a storm raging outside, the teens are cut off from the outside world…so when a mysterious killer begins picking them off one by one, there’s no escape. As the deaths become more violent and the teens turn on one another, can Meg find the killer before more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever imagine?” I’ve had this novel sitting on my kindle for some time until I decided to dive in and I’m glad I did. I will admit, I went in with a little hesitation since the book centers around teens out for a weekend intended for booze, boys and the inevitable hookups which I have outgrown, but the sinister twist the weekend takes is what drew me in. I’m usually not a fan of cliquish teens competing and complaining about boys, which this book defiantly has, maybe a little too much, but I found myself trying to piece all the clues scattered through these pages alongside Meg. I had theories about who was behind the killings and a few times I stood by those theories, thinking I cracked the case, but then the next clue would be revealed and I found myself back to square one. None of my theories measured up to the big finale, and I was very surprised and impressed with how it alluded me, I never saw it coming. However, there was an aspect of the book that I was not crazy about; the tone. While some parts of the book were written very well, the dialogue was a little painful. While, yes it’s about ten teens, I must have forgotten how petty high schoolers can be, and some of these teens were off the charts. Drama. A lot of petty drama. Aside from the serial killer lurking in the shadows, these guys decided it was the perfect time to wash their dirty laundry in front of everyone. Maybe that was because of the serial killer lurking in the shadows. But still, the dialogue less than desirable. A lot of cheesy one-liners were put in place where a simple description of an expression or body language that would have sufficed and still get the point across, maybe even make it stronger. In the end, this was how the author wrote, and I still enjoyed her book very much. I quickly connected with Meg and felt her pain when it came to the sacrifices she made for a friend, someone who was ultimately toxic, but her big heart prevented her from walking away. She simply couldn’t, and I admire her for that. The characters became very real to me, and I quickly loved some and hated the others. The story engulfed me. I let it, and I enjoyed it. Hopefully, you enjoy this book if you’re just diving in, and if you’re still on the fens about picking it up, give it a try if you like fast-paced action, suspense, and gruesome murders. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #422,653 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #396 in Teen & Young Adult Friendship Fiction #613 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Girls' & Women's Issues (Books) #894 in Teen & Young Adult Coming of Age Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,298 Reviews | ## Images ![Ten - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51J7HolWoFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.

TEN is a fast-paced thriller, with jump-out-of-your-seat moments, secrets that will shock you, and an ending that will terrify you until the very last page. I should start off by saying that I read TEN in one night: start to finish. I couldn't put it down! McNeil composed a mystery novel in which all of the events in this book actually made sense. She did a terrific job with this novel, and I would recommend it to anybody -- mystery lover or not! Our main protagonist Meg is a very likeable character. She's always there for her friends, always wants to help out, and is always sharp on the tack. Especially when it comes to murders around her. I never once found her to be annoying or idiotic, like some characters are in books that feature murders. Minnie, on the other hand, is a very completely different story. She's quick-tempered and will push anybody aside to get what she wants. Minnie is definitely not the best of friends in YA literature. And the whole thing with a serial killer murdering these ten teens on an island cut off from the rest of the world . . . mind equals blown. If you don't know, TEN is an inspired story by Agatha Christie's AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. I thought that Gretchen did a great job at tackling that very popular mystery novel, and I wanted more and more after I read the last page! Fantastic! THE. ENDING. No spoilers here, but GUYS. WOW. My jaw was literally open for the entire final fifty pages. McNeil had me on the edge of my seat; I was even checking over my shoulder to make sure the killer wasn't standing behind me! Love it when a book makes me do that! And like I said before, everything makes sense in the end! Didn't see a bunch things coming in this novel. One last thing before I end this review: somebody in Hollywood, PLEASE buy the movie rights to TEN! This would make a killer movie! (no pun intended) Thrilling, captivating and scary; TEN deserves to be on the big screen! Overall, TEN is one of my favorite novels of 2012! If you want a novel with secrets and betrayals, shocking moments and terrifying conclusions, TEN is definitely the book you should buy! -Review originally posted at bookyareview.blogspot.com- --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4672750-ten](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4672750-ten) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
