Both on the book cover and the Amazon synopsis, there are references to The Breakfast Club. I would say that is pretty accurate. It is a story about 5 very different high school seniors. A group that would never hang out all together if they were not forced to. But on a senior field trip to the infamous and possibly haunted Boulder House, these 5 are trapped together and forced to stick together in order to escape all of the strange things that the house's previous owner had collected.
As I said, not the worst thing I have ever read, but also not the finest piece of literature you will ever pick up.
From Amazon:
In this riveting debut, equal parts Cabin in the Woods and The Breakfast Club, five teens will discover what lies within a local, infamous house is darker, and more personal, than any urban legend.
Plenty of legends surround the infamous Boulder House in Whispering Bluffs, Wisconsin, but nobody takes them seriously. Certainly nobody believes that the original owner, Maxwell Cartwright Jr., cursed its construction—or that a murder of crows died upon its completion, turning the land black with their carcasses. If there were truth to any of the local folklore, River Red High wouldn’t offer a field trip there for the graduating class.
Five very different seniors—Violet, Paul, Ashley, Dylan, and Gretchen—volunteer, each for private reasons, none of which have to do with trip itself. When they’re separated from the group, they discover that what lies within Boulder House is far more horrifying than any rumor they’ve heard. To survive, they’ll have to band together and ultimately confront the truths of their darkest selves.
