This review is from: A Stranger in the House (Sweet Valley High) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is a real thriller. It's like a horror movie that fits in your hand. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. You can't seem to put it down. It's about a handsom murderer who is after the twins blood and won't stop until he gets it. He already got close to one of them but was delayed, but not stopped. He's not gonna rest until both of the twins are dead. Why is he after the twins? Does he get the twins? What does the twins do? Read the book and find out. You won't be disappointed!

This review is from: A Stranger in the House (Sweet Valley High) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first Sweet Valley book that I have read and I thought it was just great! I read the 15 chapter book in 3 days. I really COULDN'T put it down. It always left me wanting to read more. I never really expected it to be as half as good as it really was. In the back of the book after the very last chapter I read that there's going to be a part 2 and I can't wait. "A Stranger in the House" was a really exciting book. I'm really looking forward to getting part 2 of the book. The name of part 2 is "Killer on Board", and I garantee I will be the first one to grab it as soon as it hits stores.
