[Dorm Survival Rule No. 1: Keep your mouth shut after lights-out! Make a sound and you die!]
[Midnight room inspection: Cover your head! Close your eyes! Hold your breath, too!]
[Is 3 a.m. safe? There’s a face outside the window, smiling at you upside down!]
On the night freshman Xu Yan moved into Dorm 404, a bloodstained “Survival Guide” on the back of the door was the first thing she saw.
She scoffed at it, until
Her roommate Wang Wei started crying quietly in the middle of the night. One whimper later… only a human-shaped puddle remained on the bed!
Sticky footsteps drew near at midnight and stopped outside the door. The doorknob turned silently!
During “safe hours,” she went to the bathroom, only to lock eyes with a deathly pale face hanging upside down in the vent!
Xu Yan finally understood:
The rules weren’t a joke. They were a death sentence!
The one conducting the room inspection wasn’t human. It was the rules made flesh!
Want to stay alive?
Keep quiet, play dead, and pray you’re not the next one in its sights!
Otherwise
Another name will be added to Dorm 404’s list of missing students!
I originally wanted to give it four stars, but the first dozen or so chapters were a bit boring, but in the middle and later stages it felt pretty good. This is the second book with a new theme.
The writing is pretty good, but I can't quite read it. Come on, ma'am!!!
