Tales with Nicole

"Ten teens. Three days. One killer ." "Shhhh! Don't spread the word! Three-day weekend. Party at White Rock House on Henry Island. You do not want to miss it. It was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—an exclusive house party on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie each have their reasons for being there (which involve T.J., the school’s most eligible bachelor) and look forward to three glorious days of boys, booze and fun-filled luxury. But what they expect is definitely not what they get, and what starts out as fun turns dark and twisted after the discovery of a DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine. Suddenly people are dying, and with a storm raging, the teens are cut off from the outside world. No electricity, no phones, no internet, and a ferry that isn’t scheduled to return for two days. As the deaths become more violent and the teens turn on each other, can Meg find the killer before more people die? Or is the killer closer to her t...

The following review may contain spoilers from Volumes 1&2. Review: Paper Girls V1 Review: Paper Girls V2 "Newspaper deliverers Erin, Mac, and Tiffany finally reunite with their long-last friend KJ in the prehistoric past, where they uncover the secret origin of time travel, and use any means necessary to get back home. It's a story of violence, bloodshed, and motherhood, as seen through the eyes of four twelve-year-old girls from the mean streets of 1988." The prehistoric past the girls have stumbled into is definitely a strange one. Even though we have no idea how that past developed the future, I do think when the girls helped that tribal woman for the better, they doomed their own future. One of the girls gets glimpse of pieces in her future, and it makes her question herself, not knowing if even she knows who she really is. The more information we get about the situation the Papers Girls have gotten into, the more I wonder what kind of g...
