Someone is out to destroy the most popular sorority on campus

Joining Omega Phi Delta is the best thing that’s ever happened to Maxie. Since she pledged with Salem University’s coolest sorority, she’s never had trouble finding a party to go to or a boy to date. Her new life is perfect - until death strikes Omega House.

The terror starts when Maxie’s sorority sister Erica’s jewelry box goes missing, with all of her valuables - including her grandmother’s priceless ring - inside. Erica is tearing her room apart when she gets a package: the box, with all the jewelry safe inside. Erica wants to forget the strange incident, but the strange pranks escalate and Maxie sees them as a warning. Some unknown lunatic wants her sisters’ blood, and only Maxie can save them. A year ago, she would have done anything to become an Omega girl. Now she may die for it.

A fun, quick thriller with a slightly goofy ending

After DNFing a more ambitious novel, the first in a series, I just needed a fun, quick thriller to start off my reading year. Sorority Sisters did the trick. I was caught up in the suspense; each chapter ends with a cliffhanger. I enjoyed the university setting, and the town built around the university. The characters are pretty one-dimensional, but I expected that. The book moves quickly and kept me guessing.

Then...the big reveal was made, and it was something right out of a Scooby Doo episode. We are given a motivation as to why the villain did what they did, but a good mystery offers some breadcrumbs along the way, gives you a few strong suspects, and leaves you wondering which of the suspects has the most reason to commit the crime(s). A bad mystery gives you the WTH reveal, where there is no real lead-up to the reveal. It is the "You will never guess" ending, for the sake of having a "You'll never guess" ending. Nevertheless, I look forward to reading another Nightmare Hall book in the future.
