    About this audiobook

    "The Rules is a must-read for fans of thrillers with truly frightening twists."—School Library Journal 

    Narrated by an alternating unreliable group of teens, this dark thriller will have readers on the edge of their seats. No one is safe and everyone is a suspect. It's Saw meets I Know What You Did Last Summer.

    Junior Robin Brisset has no idea what she's in for when she accepts an invitation to one of Callabrese High's most exclusive parties. And when the trademark scavenger hunt begins, Robin must go against every rule she's lived by to survive.

    Nancy Holder

    USA TODAY bestselling author Nancy Holder is thrilled to be back at Harlequin/Silhouette where she sold her first two novels many years ago (for a young-adult line that no longer exists.) In answer to recent queries, yes, she is "that" Nancy Holder, who wrote for Bantam Loveswept, and also Laurel Chandler. She wrote thirteen category and women's fiction single titles before writing two erotic horror novels with her coauthor, Melanie Tem, and a solo horror novel titled Dead in the Water, which received a Bram Stoker Award from the Horror Writers Association. Soon after that, Nancy was asked to write an original novel based on the TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and working with other writers and solo, she has wound up writing more Buffy and Angel material (including show guides) than any other writer. She has written for Buffy since the show went on the air, and her latest Buffy effort is on the stands now. She has also written tie-in books for Smallville, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Highlander and other "universes." She also writes a lot of young adult and children's fiction, sometimes under various "house" names. She loves retold fairy tales, and has worked on those as well. Nancy has lived in San Diego for most of her adult life, and is a doting mother to her daughter. The Holder women recently sold their first collaborative effort, a short story about Lightning the Mouse, to an anthology. Lightning is a brown mouse that belongs to her daughter. They also have two cats, Kittnen Snow and David. Nancy is a Jazzercise devotee and also studies yoga. She dropped out of high school to become a ballet dancer in Germany, but a number of injuries sidelined her. She figure that's just as well - she's very happy with being a freelance writer. Nancy is a charter member of both RWA and HWA (the Horror Writers Association). She also belongs to the IAMTW, the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers; and Persephone, which is an organisation for women horror writers. She attends a lot of science fiction and fantasy cons. She learned about the Silhouette Bombshell line at a fantasy convention from a friend of hers who used to write scripts for Xena. Nancy also teaches at the University of California San Diego through the Extension department, and has also taught at the Maui Writers Retreat and in other venues. She is delighted to report that several of her students have gone on to great publishing success, which is just as thrilling to her as selling something herself. You can check for classes if you're local at www.nancyholder.com. You can also email her through the web site. Please feel free to "snail mail" her (including a self-addressed, stamped envelope, please) at: Nancy Holder, P.O. Box 26384, San Diego, CA 92196, USA.

      This book... Oh man, this book was absolutely crazy. It started out just a little slow but only because I was waiting for the hunt to actually begin. But once it did... Things got absolutely crazy. People started dying and I had some speculations about who the killer could be. Turned out that I was wrong about both of the people. The first one I suspected I just held onto the thought that it was them, they had done it the entire time. But things came about and it was obvious that just wasn't true. It felt like someone was dying every couple of pages, though. It was still a really good book. As it went on, I kept getting more and more worried as I became fond of a couple of characters, afraid that they were going to be next, especially every time one of them went off alone.
      That ending though... I never once suspected the killer to be who it was. I was so shocked, especially because it was one of the two people I'd grown fond of. They explained why they did it and it made sense. Not to condone the violence and death, of course.
      This was such a good read. It kept me on my toes, guessing who the heck was killing everyone. There were twists and turns and left you thinking that it couldn't possible be anyone you had really met in the book. I kept thinking it was literally some sick, twisted person who was just killing these kids because they could. But no. Don't get too attached to any of these characters. So few were left alive. One of them just might end up dead. Or worse, the killer.

      I must admit that I was a sucker for this book. It is like one of those "campy horror movies". Ones that you love to hate but in a good way. There was nothing too scary about the events happening that night during the hunt. In addition, the characters for the most part were your average people. Nothing special or intriguing about them. In fact, there are probably some that you will find yourself cheering hoping that something happens to them. For as many books that I have read, I really did not have a clue as to who was causing all of the havoc until the reveal. Until than I was just along for the joy ride. Although I must admit that the ending was fine but if I had it my way it probably would have ended differently. If you do anything,follow this one rule..."Pick up a copy of this book".
