A brilliant horror story. You're led to believe one thing until it's revealed that you were wrong the entire time. It's a horror story that tells us that looks can be deceiving, and to not always believe what you see.I read this book over and over as a teen. I loved it. I bought a copy recently, not only to reacquaint myself with RTC's work, but for research purposes. It's almost a different book, as the characters have taken on new appearances in my imagination. This is down to the author's ability to describe physical features in a non-restrictive manner. Still, this book isn't without flaw. Am I the only one to notice that Justin' s eyes change from brown to blue throughout the course of the story? Having
I absolutely loved this book when I was in my teens and read it time and time again so couldn't resist when I spotted it on Kindle Unlimited some 20+ years later. Was it as good as I remembered? I think the answer to that was always going to be no. Don't get me wrong I had an absolute blast reading it again, and it is a very easy and addictive read, but now that I'm older I couldn't help finding little flaws and things to criticize. At the time this was originally written this was a new genre so
Nostalgia read. Kelsey arrives on the island to meet her mother's boyfriend family. But she soon finds out that the youngest of his children has disappeared and is presumed drowned. With three handsome lifeguards surrounding her, Kelsey should be safe from the water, or is she???I used to love reading these. Except this time around I found the plot didn't make much sense. There has to be clear motives for everyone's actions, particularly evil ones, and instalove is better left aside.
This is a truly odd book. It's one of the first Point Horrors I owned, back when I was 8 or 9, but I couldn't really get into it well back then. I know I read it - I can tell from the cover that it's been read a lot, LOL - but I didn't really remember it very well.Richie Tankersley Cusick is an interesting writer. Her writing style is more subtle than some of the other Point Horror authors like Diane Hoh or R.L. Stine, perhaps a little more sophisticated, and as a result I think she probably
I rated this 2 on the Good Reads scale but on the Point Horror scale its a solid 3.5. I have SO MANY questions. Why did her mother just leave her after a traumatic event and while another girl was missing?Why did Justin listen in on the phone when he already knew she was suspicious as he had left the note? Why did no one care that a 13 year old was missing?Why was there a weird cave under a lighthouse, surely that was a major structural issue? How was Justin so shit at killing people? I guess
I adored Point Horror books when I was about 12, and I came across 3 of them for 50 cents each I couldn't resist.Lame; yes, but oh so much fun :)
