I loved this book. It was very good and suspenseful. I couldn't put it down. It is one of the best! If you haven't read it, read it! I also recommend Wanted for Murder.

Elizabeth Wakefield's journalism paper may cost her her life. She wrote up her theory that a young movie star's suicide was actually a murder, and two days later her dorm room is trashed. Somebody doesn't like Elizabeth's theory. Somebody may even be willing to kill her for it.

Jessica Wakefield is minding her own business in the campus coffeehouse when a bullet just misses her head. Suddenly she and her twin sister are running for their lives.

Tom Watts, Elizabeth's boyfriend, is frantic. His girlfriend has narrowly escaped campus with her life. Can he help her catch a murderer before the murderer catches her?

I spent nearly a decade of my childhood reading Sweet Valley books, and this used to be one of my favorites. I was impressed at how well-crafted the premise of the story was - until I saw the movie of John Grisham's "The Pelican Brief." From the female student who unknowingly stumbles on a murder, to the confessional evidence hidden in a bank's safe-deposit box, the major ideas in this work are a definite rip-off.

This was one of my favorite SVU Thrillers. I could hardly put the book down. Even as I read it for the fifth and sixth time it still has an effect on me. It's implausible that Elizabeth's thoery for her journalism class could end up the real story. This book showed great foreshadowing and enormous suspense.

This book was probaly the best book I have ever read. I was practically scared the whole time I was reading it. I was stuck at home watching my brother(its spring break)and I wanted to do something fun. So I got this book and couldn't put it down for the rest of the day. I had this book finished by the next day. This book is for anyone who likes to be scared.

I enjoyed this book very much. It was very well written. It had a farfetched theme, but was written in such a way that it seems that it had actually happened. The only thing I disliked about this book was the way it ended. It ended like so many other books where everything turns out perfectly for the main charecters. All in all, though, it was a very fufilling book. Megan Hodge Lacon, IL United States of Americ

I have read a lot of the Sweet Valley books and a lot of the thriller editions. This has been the best one ever. The plot was interesting and creative. it kept me hooked. I finished reading it in two hours. I think this book would make a great movie.

I have only read a couple of SVU thrillers but this one I liked the least. I think this one is scary and disgusting the way so many people are murdered for no reason so I think that only people who like murder and gore in books should buy this one. If I would have known what kind of a book this was I never would have bought it but it's your choice so you choose.
