TEN
Ten women find themselves in a vacant mansion on Spektor Island in December, 1972. Each believes she's traveled to the house on business, but they all agree that something seems strange. For one thing, the entire house is full of pictures and statues of pigs. The women all come from drastically different walks of life. None of them would have chosen to spend the night together in such an eerie place, but the last ferry for the mainland has just left, and a terrible storm is rolling in. Trying to make the best of an unpleasant situation, they raid the mansion's wine cellar and throw a party. As the night creeps on, however, it becomes clear that someone--or something--has lied to get them in the house. It's not long before someone mentions that Spektor Island is supposed to be haunted. Of course, no one in the house believes in ghosts. At least, not until the first murder. What do an actress, a religious zealot, a renegade, a coed, a model, a singer, a medium, a real-estate investor, a historian, and a doctor have in common? None of them is who they seem. Don’t forget to see the upcoming feature film, TEN. That is, if you’re not too scared!

I loved this book! It took me a little while to start it, since I really like the weather to be reflect the book and/or genre. Sure, a few days had snow storms. But this is definitely a raining-outside book. Which, within an hour of finishing this book, I looked outside to see rain. The closer I got to being done, the more difficult it was to put down. Anyway, switching the perspective of the characters throughout the book worked really well for me. The use of language to convey character is really effective, and I liked the parts that were different from the movie. The backstory for each of the characters was a pleasant surprise, too. I'm not sure I've ever read the book after seeing the movie, but this was worth it for me.
