I went into Bite cold and I'm glad I did, because Sarah Dessen loves a surprise and the less you know the better. The twists mostly land, though one feels more like a cheat than a reveal. Perfect for readers who go in blind, bad for anyone who needs to know where it's headed.

Sarah Dessen maps out in Bite: The Sharpest Contemporary Writing for Teens how compliance is quietly built into everyday routines until people don't even realize they've handed over the keys.
