The ending ruined it., October 24, 2005
Book Description from back of Book:
"Before Jenny Logan even entered the forbidding castle-a replica of the Worthington's ancestral home in England-a terrified stranger warned her away. Was the warning real-or just another example of the family's macabre sense of humor? Jenny couldn't be sure. She only knew her summer vacation with her father suddenly became a nightmare when predatory Sir John Worthington invited them to stay-and his grandsons, the gorgeous Malcolm, his twin Derrick, and their mischievous cousin Wit spun a web of intrigue, romance, and deceit around her. She's forced to play by their rules now, and battle the castle's ancient curse, which decrees that she will go mad, or die...or simply disappear...."
Before this one, I had read 6 other books by Richie Tankersley Cusick, and I was hungry for more so I decided to give this one a try. This book was pretty good because of great descriptions on the Medieval theme, and it kept you guessing, but the end totally ruined it. The ending was SO stupid and unrealistic! (Spoiler ahead:)
In the last few pages of the book, the author added a new character who just happened to be the insane one, and guess what? He is the brother of the twins in this story, and he looks EXACTLY like them? Wait...are they triplets? wow, thats realistic, three guys that look exactly alike! If there were a completely different ending, I would have given it 4 or 5 stars. Only worth buying if you are a huge fan of Cusick's, like myself. Otherwise, check it out at the library.

Jenny, one Lucky Girl, July 16, 2005
This is a tale of mystery and suspense. The main character is well developed and the plot is well constructed, RTC is good at leaving the reader guessing while suplying a healthy load of information. I admire the author's ability to construct strong visual descriptions and with her depictions of the character's emotions she really brings any story she writes alive.
This is a particular favorite of mine because of the obsure and fascinating subject matter. Silent Stalker is a well written story about a teen age girl coming to terms with her family and herself. Experience her terror as she goes on an adventure with her neglectful father and stays in an ancient castle with many secret passages that lead to all kinds of horrifyingly good and romantic trouble. I give this book an A++ and "pitty the fool" who thinks otherwise.

Awesome Story...and fancinating if you like creepy castles, July 8, 2003
This is an awesome book about a girl named Jenny who is in for the confusion of her life when she meets three enchanting yet ecentric young men and their estranged father. It will keep your head spinning and your mind racing with guesses, but you never know until the end. I couldn't put this book down because it was one of her best books i have read yet. {Love This Book}
