Richie Tankersley Cusick

I first read this Christopher Pike style book at some point in elementary school and have re-read it several times since. It's not the best written book and it's certainly not literary, but it's a fun novel with intriguing characters and I will likely read it several more times :). P.S. "Don't call for help. He may just kill you."

Creepy, rundown hotel on a creepy, foggy island with creepy, mysterious locals? Yes, please! This book was atmospheric with just enough teen romantic angst to keep it interesting. Felt similar to Party Summer by R.L. Stine but there's only one protagonist instead of a bunch of them. There could have been a little more investigating on Carolyn's part, but that may have given away too much of the plot twist in the end.

I thought I had the killer all figured out, but boy was I wrong! With the exception of a racist Halloween costume, this books still stands up to a modern day reading. It was a fast, fun read. Nice autumnal ambiance throughout.

Reminiscent of I Know What You Did Last Summer. I don't think this is Tankersley's best, but I did enjoy it. The end had a nice twist and I only figured out half of it before the reveal.
