(4) YA Mean Girls meets The Exorcist in this truly gruesome horror novel that lacks real character development. Sofia, a vulnerable newcomer at school, too easily falls under the spell of charismatic Riley and her quest to (literally) cut the sins out of others. Extremely violent scenes of torture will keep horror-loving readers hooked but may turn off those with weaker stomachs.
