The Pledge - 9781250186973

Scream meets The Taking of Jake Livingston in this young adult horror novel by Cale Dietrich featuring a masked killer who targets frat boys. Freshman Sam believes that joining a fraternity is the best way to form a friend group as he begins his college journey. The frat he's pledging seems welcoming and fun, and accepting of his identity as queer. It would feel better if Gray, the other queer frat boy was friendlier, but Sam can deal with that if it means being part of this popular group. And then... one of the frat boys is killed by a masked, knife-wielding murderer. The police and the university believe it's random - a case of a drunk kid being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But when another frat boy is murdered, Sam and Gray start to wonder if they might be the next targets, and if the pledge/hazing rituals have gone too far. Elements of horror, mystery, and a gay hate-to-love romance make this a story readers won't want to miss.
