Damaged, Deceptive, Dangerous, Darling

When a group of teens wake up in the woods, these words are inked onto their skin.

While on a mandatory senior field trip, a flash flood strands the campers and their teachers Mr. Walker and Ms. Brighton on either side of a river. The next day, Sera wakes up from a drugged sleep, discovering evidence that the campers were attacked. Mr. Walker is found unconscious, and the campers are marked on their wrists: Jude, Deceptive; Emily, Damaged; Lucas, Dangerous; and Sera, Darling. Someone is targeting them for crimes, imagined or real, and they must work together to survive the hunt.

“With its predatory atmosphere, this book feels like The Breakfast Club folded into a Christopher Pike novel’s fight for survival. The characters’ ethnicities are refreshingly inclusive.

“The back story behind the attack is based on a ghostly tale that readers are never sufficiently privy to, weakening the tension and at times causing actual confusion. The attacks are quite graphic and may be unsuitable for sensitive readers. VERDICT An enticing thriller that, despite some defects,”—Library Journal
