This is a sweet book and I love the warm atmosphere. Samantha lives with her father, who deeply loves and cares about her. Her best male friend, Gus, also cares about her. And her boyfriend Wyatt does, too.
Her birthday is on Halloween, which is just around the corner. Her friends are planning a Halloween/birthday party. Halloween is almost here and someone is pulling pranks on her: phone calls, notes, even a house break-in. Who is doing this to her? Is it her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend? And why are they doing it? Is it a harmless Halloween joke, or is it something to be worried about?
The plot/story line is very good and entertaining. All the pieces of the story fit together perfectly. The atmosphere is cozy. The horror part is thrilling and keeps you on your toes. The mystery part keeps you wondering. This book is so fun. The whole book is absolutely perfect.
This talented author is a winner. I would definitely recommend this book to both teens and adults - to anybody who wants an entertaining book.
I read this book at an early age and was amazed and scared. My first grade teacher is the mother of Wendy Corsi Staub and she once came to my elementary school which is where I was first introduced to her. She has a great ability to write and she has always kept me interested. This book had mystery and horror in one, it was great!! I know for a fact that her mother is proud and I also know for a fact that I will be a loyal fan.
I just finished this book the other night. I only read it because There was nothing else to read. It was hard to follow since it went back and forth with people. I didn't like the ending at all. The author could of made it more scary, or at least give it a better ending. - Thriller - Mystery - Suspense - Wendy Corsi Staub Novels'
