HURRY HOME...

"This isn't the way to my house," she said, with uncertainty in her voice.

"Yes, it is," he reassured her. Already his heart was thumping a little faster in anticipation.

"It's getting late," she told him. "I'm supposed to be home before dark."

She felt his heavy forearm across his throat. She screamed, but he just laughed.


At first, a year in Ohio with her aunt and uncle seems like a jail sentence to teenager Sara Langdon - after all, she's from sunny L.A. The kids accept her with no problems, though, and she soon starts dating the captain of the football team. Then terror strikes, as a killer begins stalking high-school girls.

A decent YA book with well developed characters with good suspense but is setback from the fact that there's little suspense.

However, I do see that at least the author tries as the main character was likeable that you want to know how she overcomes one obstacle over another.

I recommend this book for casual YA book readers but probably not those who want more suspense and action.
