Customer Reviews

This is a must read

Someone at the Door has been one of the best books i have ever read. I can read it over and over again. I have pretty much worn out the book that I have. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to anybody. It has everything suspence, romance, and a crazy twist.

My Favorite Book To Date!.....

Hannah and Meg live miles from the nearest neighbor. There is a big snowstorm on its way, and they've heard that if the power is to go out, it can take weeks to restore it! Still, they aren't worried about being home alone until their parents call to tell them that they're snowed-in at the airport. The call from their parents and the news brief that an escaped killer is headed in their direction is the last two things they hear before the electricity goes out. Then, in the middle of the night, the two sisters get a knock on their door! Two wounded, half-frozen strangers stand in their doorway, asking to stay the night. Of course (for protection, according to them), they refuse to leave in the morning, and strange things occur. The dog disappears, along with their axe, and the girls realize they don't know the guys at all!I thought that "Someone at the Door" was unbelievable! Richie Tankersley Cusick (one of the best horror writers out there) concocts a story full of mystery and horror. The scenery adds to the suspense; two girls, miles away from anyone, helpless. The events were thrilling and surprising, and the ending was shocking. A must-read for all horror fans!Also recommended:a.) "Starstruck" by Richie Tankersley Cusickb.)

Someone at the Door

I thought this book was one of the best that i have read. It was the first book that i read by RTC and I'm in here looking for more...This book is a major thriller. When Hannah and Meg's parents are gone a huge snow storm comes to there area...during the night 2 men come to the house one very badly hurt...of course Hannah and Meg take them in and took care of them...as the book goes on mysterious things happen, for example there dog disappears. The girls start to suspect that the men are the one's responsiable for the things that are happening and don't know what to do...I loved this book and hope that if you read it you would too...I recomend this book to EVERYONE! I hope that this has helped you decide if you would like to buy this book or not.. BYE BYE

This is the best book!

This is the best book I've ever read. I was guessing until the end "who done it". I had to do a report about my favorite book in my reading class and I choose this book. I loved the authors style. Kurt and the escaped killer was the perfect twist to the two strangers. I would recommend this book to everyone and anyone! Happy Reading!

Richie's "Scaredya!" trademark

By now, if anyone's following my reviews and advice and actually reading the books I recommend, you'll know that Richie is an expert at making you not put down her book. Then she scares you half to death, and it's actually fun. Her trademark "God I'm so scared but I'll be brave and find the killer" heroine is here, and the mysterious cute guy (THE reason to read Richie's stuff, girls!), and the killer whom everyone thinks is the cute guy but is in actual fact...
