But a few days ago, she discovered that her dad has been cheating on her mom.
For the first time in her life, Amelia decides she would like to know what it feels like to be a bad girl. For just one night.
With the help of her BFFs, Cassie and Folline, she plans to teach Dad’s “other woman” a lesson. It's harmless fun, right? An evening of teenage mischief. When all is said and done, the homewrecker will go away and never come back. Only then can Amelia's family begin to repair what has been broken.
However, this was no ordinary affair. And the trio could never expect the horrors that await them inside the house on Callaghan Drive.
When three teenage besties set out to teach someone a lesson about messing with a married man, the important thing to remember is that nobody was supposed to get hurt. Their intention was only to make the other woman go away. Sure there may have been some property damage, but mild destruction was not meant to include death. Well you know what they say about best-laid plans. Things go awry for Amelia and her friends when they discover a horrifying secret and there's no telling who will survive the night on Callaghan Drive.
"Silence. Even the crickets had stopped chirping for now. As if they too were appalled at what they had witnessed."
I loved the friendship between these three girls and the way they were portrayed as willing to do anything for each other no matter the risk. These girls were tough as nails in a day when so many female characters in horror are portrayed as catty or weak and waiting for a man to swoop in and save them. The story itself is quite unsettling. It went places I did not expect to go.
5 out of 5 stars
