À propos de cet audio

Donna Tartt's The Secret History meets Pretty Little Liars in this propulsive, edge-of-your-seat novel that explores just how far the elite at an English boarding school will go to maintain the social order.

One deadly weekend.

At St. Aidan the Great School, or S.T.A.G.S., new things - and new people - are to be avoided. The grandeur of the boarding school and the prestige of the students' bloodlines seem surreal to Greer MacDonald. A scholarship student who recently transferred to S.T.A.G.S., Greer is ignored at best and mocked at worst by the school's most admired circle of friends, the Medievals.

Greer is taken by surprise when the Medievals send her an invitation to an exclusive weekend retreat at the private family estate of their unofficial leader, Henry de Warlencourt. It's billed as a weekend of "huntin' shootin' fishin'."

As the weekend begins to take shape, it becomes apparent that beyond the luxurious trappings, predators are lurking, and they're out for blood.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Reinvigorates the boarding-school thriller." (The Guardian)

"Bennett creates a chilling atmosphere on every page. Reads like a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or an Agatha Christie mystery for modern teens...[a] suspenseful study of British Aristocracy." (SLJ)

Stags has an interesting concept. Middle class girl gets scholarship to super exclusive high class boarding school, then gets lured to join a bloodsports hunting weekend where she becomes one of the hunted. Sounds exciting... but it didn't turn out to be as there was little action and no anticipated danger. The opening chapter lays out that she's just fine afterwards.

The hardest part was how nobody seemed to act right given the world the book is written. Teachers taught well to everyone regardless of class, parents sent their kids to school knowing the danger, household staff didn't seem to react to anything, and worst of all were the kids. In the end the target kids didn't seem to care at all about getting justice for all previous victims.

There was a good amount of teenage angst and young misguided love that some may enjoy.

Nobody seemed to act real
