Here is the description on the back of the book:

"GET RICH QUICK!
The bold print seemed aimed at her directly: "Detail-oriented student for cataloguing personal library." But when Robin Bailey answers the ad, she is surprised that she has already been recommended for the job by Parker Swanson, the gorgeous new guy in school. Parker's grandfather will pay her to organize the collection of antique books that belonged to Parker's stepmother, a Medium who died by her own hand. Suddenly Robin is plunged into Parker's dark and twisted family saga, trying to protect his stepsister Claudia who is haunted by visions of her evil mother and driven to desperation. Parker says that Claudia is crazy. But Robin has heard and seen the ghost! Now her part-time job is a full-time nightmare!"

After reading seven other books by Cusick, I am so used to her style of writing that this book just didn't seem like it totally hit the spot for me, but I think I can blame that partly on getting older. Don't get me wrong, I am positive that if I had read this before I had read all her others, I would have liked it a lot more. Also the ending was pretty surprising, and there was a nice twist. However (WARNING, hint of ending!),
I was mad that in the end the main character didn't even make up her mind about which guy she liked, and there was not enough romance!

If you are under the age of 16, or haven't read any other of this author's books, I would recommend this book, but some fans of Cusick's might be a bit disappointed because she has written better ones.

I was in the library looking for an autobiography and I made a short trip to the "young adult mystery section" and I happened to come across this book. So I checked it out. This book was really good. It was well written and well described that it was so easy to get a picture in your mind. It had a really nice ending to it. I couldn't believe who the killer was at the end.

Totally rad. The killer was someone who never even crossed my mind. Great plot, great suspense, great characters, all in all a great read.

This book was great from start to finish. I loved the way romance was mixed with horror, and it made for a great ending! I would definitely recommend this book to any adolescent who likes to be a little scared.

This book, Help Wanted, is by one of the best authors I've ever read. Richie Tankersley Cusick is one of the most amazing authors I've ever read a book by. This book is very surprising. It is written well and it is sure to give you a scare. The ending was very surprising to me and was very dramatic. If you like scary books and you like Richie Tankersley Cusick this is a book for you. Five stars!

I loved this book, as well as all the other Richie Tankersly Cusick novels. The characters were real, and the plot was incredibly interesting. I would recommend this book to anybody that likes a good scare!
