#ScarathlonBuddyRead for #TeamMonsterMash #Scarathlon - I struggled reading this a section at a time to be honest, think I would have enjoyed it more by devouring in one sitting! Like some others, I guessed the twist about halfway through, and was great this morning to fly through the back 1/4 of the book, very enjoyable!

StayCurious Sometimes it's hard to read a book slowly! I agree it was better read quickly 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.221-231: Alex and Jax are walking through the woods and Jax starts saying he doesn‘t want to go home, or to film school and he wants things to be different. Before Alex can talk sense into him, they see the man in the mask. Jax of course takes off running and they get separated. When Alex finds Jax in a maze, he‘s being killed in a downright horrible scene. At this point I need to know what‘s happening…should I just finish?

SeaToSkyes I just finished the audiobook. I got behind in the readalong, then once I was caught up I had to finish it! 1y
Bookworm54 I finished it more or less once all the killing started 😂 and as people have said the ending did surprise me too! Not that I am great at guessing these things in the first place! 1y

Read-y_Picker Did we ever really know anything about Reagan besides that he‘s in love with Alex and suddenly unable to not be creepy about it? 1y
DebinHawaii I‘m going to finish it tonight. I can‘t wait any more! 1y
bthegood I read this all at one time - it was good - finish it - you will be glad you did🧛‍♂️ 1y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I‘m probably going to finish it up tonight. I read the next section last night because I couldn‘t just stop once Jax got his skull bashed in! 🤣 Death by chivalry, if he hadn‘t been carrying Alex‘s pack with the hammer, how would the killer have ended him..? 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.212-220 - in the light of day the group decides that they need to split up - mainly because Reagan refuses to travel out to the road. So Alex and Jax head out to find cell signal and the road and Hazel, Reagan, and the seemingly delicate Kenna stay behind to find the computer or phone those strange cables are linked to. It‘s not a great plan. I think they should get out of dodge. But this is a horror story after all.

MoonWitch94 I‘d GTFO you know? I would rather walk in the rain than stay there! Lol 😂 1y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I agree. Why is anyone staying in the castle at this point?!?!?! 🤦‍♀️ 1y
JacqMac Right? Why would you stay?! 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.169-211: Sorry I‘ve been MIA! Threw party for my son‘s bday & haven‘t left kitchen in 3 days😅Things are really getting good now. It‘s pretty clear someone has come to Prahova to kill off the kids 1 by 1…or is it one of them? Are they being hunted or stalked by one of their own? They find Carter‘s grewsome decapitated body, Maddie is dead and the others are starting to get suspicious of each other. It‘s great!

Read-y_Picker It really feels like someone‘s setting Alex up. I get the feeling that she‘s being filmed and that her crew are in on it like in the beginning at Kennas house. I mean, they even got Maddie out of the way early, she could be doing the makeup and effects on subsequent bodies… 1y
StayCurious @Read-y_Picker ooh good theory! 1y
JacqMac It‘s finally getting juicy. I don‘t think I have a theory yet. 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.154-168 - Maddie is missing and the group splits up (always a good idea) to find her. Jax and Alex head outside to the terrace in the storm. On the way Jax notices that it looks as though the blood in the kitchen was staged. Someone is trying to scare them. Outside, Jax falls down the stairs and finds Maddie‘s body - so what happened? Did she fall and hit her head or did she meet with a more sinister end?

KristiAhlers Yeah I was yelling at the kindle when they split up 🤣. Sigh what could possibly go wrong? 1y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm So I‘ve seen several other peeps who have finished say they think they had it figured out, but then were totally shocked by the end. So I hesitate to say this, but…I have a strong feeling I know what‘s going on… 😅 1y
StayCurious @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm im pretty sure I called it at the beginning but I refuse to cheat and look at the end to confirm lol. I‘ll let you guys know if I was right… 1y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @StayCurious Lol, I definitely can‘t cheat either. I‘ll also report back whether I‘m right or not. 👍 1y
JacqMac @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I also have some strong feelings. Lol But we will see… 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead Pg.145-153: this was a decent chapter for spookiness. The kids are left alone in the castle and in the middle of the night Alex hears someone playing music. Turns out to be the man in the mask she thought she saw earlier and she catches him on video but he disappears. And so does Maddie. Alex goes after her but finds the kitchen flooded by the storm and a bunch of blood…things are starting to get good now. 🩸 ⛈

AmandaBlaze The book definitely seems staged in two parts, what happens in the US and what happens in Romania. I like the action in and around the castle better rather than hearing them whine at each other in the US. 1y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Finally some blood! 😈 Mwahahahaha! 1y
LaraS Aw yeah, here we go! 🧛‍♂️🩸(hmmm wonder what it says about me that i'm excited to see a bunch o' whiny teens brutally die in a castle 😆) (edited) 1y
JacqMac @LaraS Same! I‘m all like finally some murder. lol 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.134-144: we find out the castle was probably owned by an old mobster(Raul‘s father) and Maddie finally spills the beans that her father stole a bunch of money from his family and she wanted to use the Go Fund me money to keep him out of jail. WTF Maddie?! Alex should have said something to her - how can she honestly think she‘s entitled to their film money for her own uses? But Alex is so passive she never says anything.

MoonWitch94 They all think they can do whatever they want with this money! 😩🫣 1y

Bookishgal71 Alex is a wimp. Jax is a jerk, and I don't think he really likes Alex at all. Maddie and Kenna are selfish. Is there anyone likable here? 1y
JacqMac I don‘t think I like any of these people. lol (edited) 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg.123-133: So the scream was for a bat - which - if you think about where they are - is pretty spooky. Kenna is acting strange, Maddie is too, and Alex reflects on how Jax has all the power in their group and possibly their relationship. Reagan claims he is looking into the lost money but later we find out that he never messaged Go Fund Me. So many questions…although I have my theories on how things are going to go.

AmandaBlaze My initial theory around this point (I finished the book) was Reagan was behind everything. He's really smart and into Alex and has some animosity towards Jax. The group seems to pretty much ignore him when he isn't doing something techy. Plus Devos kept mentioning how “nice“ he is. 1y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I was so close with my guess!! 😅🤣 Bat instead of rat, Kenna instead of one of the other girls, but dang, I almost called it! I‘m with Maddie, they definitely brought the monsters with them… 1y

StellarDoc @AmandaBlaze I'm leaning that way, but I guess I'm wrong! (I've read ahead, but I'm not finished yet!) 1y
AmandaBlaze @StellarDoc Not giving anything away. It still might be?😉 Really, it's hard to tell at this point. They all have motives to make waves in their group. 1y
StellarDoc @AmandaBlaze It certainly seems like it! 1y
StellarDoc So I've read ahead a bit, and I'm getting Cabin in the Woods vibe -- like they're being set up to be killed. Our even that we're reading a screenplay for the real film. 🎥 🎞 1y
MoonWitch94 If you finished the book already (like me, bc I HAD to know…) I have a question: Did you figure it out? Bc I did NOT, and thought I did & was surprised lol 😂 1y
MoonWitch94 @StellarDoc Yes, it does! 1y
persephone1408 None of my theories planned out🤷🏻 @MoonWitch94 I also did NOT figure it out. I was thoroughly shocked! 1y
MoonWitch94 @persephone1408 Right?!?!?! I was kind of excited bc it takes a lot to stump me lol 1y
KristiAhlers @MoonWitch94 no! I was “no freaking way!” 1y
JacqMac So many questions. I‘m into it now because I need answers. Like @StellarDoc I‘m feeling Cabin in the Woods, too. 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead Pg112-122: the author basically spends some time setting the creepy scene in the castle. Lots of statues of Vlad and dark artwork and swords hanging on walls, and hanging chandeliers and electricity that may not last through the upcoming storm. Jax and Alex are starting to light their own fire when they are interrupted by a scream. Finally, something is happening.

MoonWitch94 IT. BEGINS!! 🫣🥳 1y
AmandaBlaze I admit if I wasn't doing this as a buddy read, I might have bailed early on this one. 100+ pages is a little much to go without a lot of (any?) action in a thriller/horror novel. 1y

AmandaBlaze Also excited things are finally moving. 1y
bekakins Finally some action(of sorts)!! 1y
StayCurious @AmandaBlaze yeah it‘s slow going! 1y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I think the scream is going to be over something silly. Maybe Hazel or Maddie spotted a rat or something. I dunno, I just get the feeling that this book is trying to fake us out before stuff really starts to happen. I know the author is painting Raul as a creeper, but so far I like him better than most of the teens. 😅 1y
JacqMac So slow. I probably would have bailed on this one, too @AmandaBlaze 1y
DebinHawaii I feel like maybe the section a day is not a favor to this book with it‘s slow start, but I am hopeful the action will start soon. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y
bthegood @DebinHawaii I think you are right, I read the whole thing through and did not think it was slow - keep going, it was a good YA book (I thought) 🙂 1y
Read-y_Picker I confess I just read through. I really wasn‘t enjoying it one chapter at a time. Needed to get a bit more involved so that the whining and pining became less of a focal point 1y
StayCurious @Read-y_Picker @debinhawaii I feel you. Not sure it makes for a good buddy read 1y
Read-y_Picker @StayCurious I don‘t think that‘s it. Maybe if it were in chunks instead of chapters. It‘s always fun to toss out theories and see which stick 😊 1y
KristiAhlers It‘s a solid read once you get going. Not your standard YA by any means. 1y

#ScarathlonBuddyRead pg 101-111: the kids arrive at the castle and are surprised by the state it‘s in. Crumbling around them in some spots and modern in others - interesting how Bloom was strategic with the photos she showed them so that she could get them there. A storm is brewing and the creepy caretaker leaves them on their own. Things should start getting spooky now.
