I loved this 2 part book; it was a short story. Hannah and Caitlin decided to ride with Joshua and Zach. It gave me chills when Caitlin and Zach got separated from the other two, and she thought of the ways Zach could be hurting her friend. The scariest things are the ones that can happen in real life. And four drunk people, especially of opposite sexes, can definitely end badly. My favorite line: If Zach hadn’t seemed as surprised as she was by Josh’s sudden exit, she would have to wonder if sp...more
This is a fun, fast paced short story thriller.
The story starts out in typical fashion. Caitlin and Hannah are out celebrating with plans to have a spontaneous evening. When two guys invite them to a party, everything seems to be falling into place.
On the way to the party, however... the couples get separated. Caitlin is alone with a guy who could be dangerous. Hannah needs to find Caitlin.
This story is fast. This story is tense. This story is not typical.

At first, I couldn't figure out where this was going. The twist at the end, bumped it up to 4 stars. This book reminds me of Allan Leverone's Heartless, which was another one with a jaw dropping "WTH???" moment.
Ok, I will say that this is a much better book than I was thinking it would be. Having read Trapped I wasn't a big fan of Konrath but, I have to say I was wrong. This was a great short story. There are great twists and turns and well worth the Kindle price. Going to give Kilborn/Konrath/Kimball another chance.
Well this was a very short story (read it in about 30 mins) and for a short story it was pretty good. But I would love to see this short story turned into a full book! I wanted to know kore about everyone, their personal stories, how they came to be the way they were & what would happen next!!!
The first half was a great set up. The second half was supposed to be a twist, where we reevaluate our assumptions. But it didn't make any sense. Really, the revelations just came out of the blue and were jarring. I didn't get it.
Nice surprises in store for the reader. I definitely give a book 2 thumbs up when it makes me talk out loud (like I am watching a good horror movie) while I'm reading it. It was a really short but entertaining read!!
This one kept me guessing for such a long time. Then I was saying to myself, why, why is this happening. Until finally it all came to the conclusion I had yet to guess. What a twisty twisted twist.
Two friends are separated while stupidly agreeing to go to a party with two boys. Desperately trying to find her friend we keep wondering what's going to happen to these girls. So many emotions running through this one. Worry, disgust, concern, and finally you're left wondering, WHAT!?

Good story, something about the second half didnt click with me but then it might have just been because of the change in style as the first author handed off to the second. It's a fun read.
Short piece, so short review:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
Twisty and twisted. Funny in a sick way (yes, that's a compliment.) Definitely worth the download.

I like most of Konrath's writing. Especially his short stories. They are witty, clever, scary and straight to the point with a twist.
Quick fun read with great end twist! LOVIN' JA's humor! And, toss Wisconsin and a Summerfest reference in there, I'm on it!
Of course, reading more Konrath now!

Lots of twists & turns. Kinda funny in a sick sorta way. I think the concept of this short story would have made for a great full length novel.
This short story is co-written I believe and I'm not sure why the co-writer's name isn't coming up.
Short but good reading to pass the time,looking to read more from the author konrath.

excellant book, recommended
okay, quick read
different.
It was all right. I didn't expect too much but the end I saw coming. Draculas spoiled me.
What a twist...I definitely wasn't expecting that!
That was a damn good story! When I finished Part 1 I was shocked speechless at the twist. I'd been following along thinking one thing and the facts reversed 180. Then when I finished Part 2 I was even more shocked. this one really kept me off balance. The ending was a bit abrupt--it really left me wanting to read more. I will definitely be buying Flee (the novel this short story was advertising) when it is released.
short but sweet, I liked the twist at the end
This reads like a Richard Laymon horror novel, fast paced, strange, and gory. The difference is that Laymon's characters are much more developed (obviously, how much character development can an author do in a short story like this?).
This is a short story of murder involving few people started off ordinarily then took a little turn of surprise.
short and sweet yet oh so gruesome. In typical Konrath fashion, he is packing a punch a leaving you breathless in the end.

JA Konrath writes the occasionally amusing and often frightening Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels thrillers, available in hardcover and paperback from Hyperion and as a spoken word from Brilliance Audio.
The books are a mixture of the humor of Janet Evanovich, Carl Hiaasen, Christopher Moore, but with the scares of James Patterson, Thomas Harris, Patricia Cornwell.
Basically, JA rips off everybody.
