Customer Reviews

Good Book

This book was good, it was the type of book that made you guess who-done-it, I could not figure who was behind the Halloween mask either. I really thought I had it figured out, I kept hoping the person in the Halloween mask was someone that we knew in the book but the ending was a surprise.

Detective

Throughout the time tht I read this book I could not stop trying to figure out who the guy behind the Halloween mask was. I mad a list of people that it could be and throughout the book I crossed off who it couldn't be I was down to Sloan and Phillip at the end. While Charlie was calling Tanner's father I was a bit suspicious that it was her father. But then that suspicion was cleared up when Charlie had gotten through to him. Usually I can predict what is goiing to happen in the end, but in thhis casee every chpter was a neww turn. This book kept my attentioon the whole time and I was glued to the book and finished it in one sitting.

I was SO impressed!

Diane Hoh, in my opinion, usually isn't that wonderful a writer. But this time--whoa! This book rocked! I mean, the main character was so cool! She was strong and smart, and I loved how she got her OWN way out of the situation. I also liked her boyfriend. The killer was very scary, I thought. Espeacially when he would say crazy stuff to her that he had heard in the mental institution....anyway, read it! It won't let you down!

really creepy

This book out rates any 'old stupid horror R.L.Stine book. Diane Hoh knows how to scare the reader, and make you want to read on and on. You couldn't this book- or any other of her books, for that matter- down. It was scary!
