Obviously I know this is a teen-level book, but boy was that unsatisfying for an ending. The concept was great for a thriller but just at pieces we’re coming together the book ended

I had read this as a kid but didn't remember most of it. I just remember liking everyone's names besides the main character's, lol. Interesting to re-read as an adult. Still a creepy story that really hooks you as things start to unravel.

This is an important read and it’s also very easy to read because I believe it is meant to be targeted to young teens, but I’m so mad that it’s a series when it could’ve been told in one book very easily

What a rollercoaster! This book moved fast, leaving the reader trying to guess what the truth was. And boy did it leave you on a cliffhanger. I need to read the next book ASAP.

excellent, written in the late 80's early 90's, just like what i read in high school and i LOVE these older books.  I need to get the rest of the series.  Im so happy this hasn't been updated- characters are 'dialing the phone' and need a 'dime for the payphone' 'reading the paper' etc.  the storyline is right out of the 80's  LOVE IT!
