I'm sorry it has taken so long to review this title. I absolutely loved it and appreciate being able to have the opportunity to read it. Thank you.
Wickedpedia is kind of a mess. Cole is a jealous ex-boyfriend who wants revenge on Winnie and her new boyfriend. So, he and his best friend start making fake Wikipedia pages about them. Only someone takes the fake pages to heart and starts killing off teenagers.
I'm not even sure what to really say about this book. It wasn't the worst YA horror, I have read. But is wasn't the best either. It kind of reminded me of one of those independent horror films where the teens make dumb decisions and not a lot makes sense. You know the ones that show up on Netflix and only have 1 star ratings? The characters were kind of dull and one-dimensional. I'm not sure I was really rooting for any of them. The ending was awful and abrupt. I would have liked an epilogue. Even a cheesy one would have been better than what I got.
The only thing that did surprise me was the killer. I didn't call that one right away.. The kill scenes were pretty gruesome too. So, if you don't mind that ( and I don't) than this will be right up your alley. I'm not sure this will be relevant in the future. The pop culture references and technology will be forgotten in 20 years. I know this is marketed to teens, but they aren't dumb and I can't really imagine most of them thinking this was good solid writing.
