The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek by Rhett McLaughlin & Link Neal

This book was written by Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning. If you have ever watched their youtube show, you can see where their personalities rub off in this book (tomatoes ring a bell?)

Bleak Creek is a town know for it's Whitewood school. A school that supposedly takes troubled kids and sets them on a straighter path. Of course, that's just a facade for something far more sinister. Kids are not brought to the school to become better, they are brought there as potential sacrifices. Three best friends and a group of others, try to save each other, with the help of a few others.

Was this the best written book I've ever read? No. I wasn't expecting it to be. I was hoping that it would have Rhett and Link's personalities, because that's what I know and love. It did. You can clearly see it throughout the book, as well as seeing that the characters were based off them. It was a fast read, but entertaining throughout, so I didn't have much of an issue with that. I would have liked if there was a bit more to certain parts of the story. More to the story about Whitewood himself, more to the story about the town following him, and more to the story about the springs in Bleak Creek. Just to help make sense of the story a little better. I'm hoping for a sequel or even a prequel to this particular novel, if so, maybe we can get the full story of Bleak Creek and what lies beyond the springs.

Definitely recommend this book. If you're a fan of Rhett and Link, if you're a fan of thriller/horror novels, or coming of age stories, this is a book for you.
