"wow. it had me hooked! took me a day to read, i got totally addicted! i kept wanting to know what happened next it makes me want to see the movie really bad! 4 teenagers are driving home from a party and they hit a kid on a bycicle. The driver of the car convinces them to make a pact that this event remains secret. almost a year later someone starts sending them letters and pictures and harrass the kids. i can't say much more without spoiling the ending. highly reccomend!"

“A taut, skillfully plotted and suspenseful thriller.”
— Publishers Weekly" It was a really good book!! But it got scary at some parts since I was reading it at night!!! It was ok, though! It is kinda like a horror/romance!! "
— MaDiSoN_RaNaE, 2/19/2014" Read this book a long time ago, before the first movie ever came out. I really liked the book, but wasn't a big fan of the movie(s). "
— Jodie, 2/11/2014" One of Duncan's better mysteries. She wields a great first chapter in this one. "
— Lois, 1/31/2014" I think death somehow features big in this book. I believe this book existed before the movie, which I haven't seen. "
— Needleroozer, 1/15/2014" I really enjoyed reading this book! The ending surprised me with the double identity twist. :) "
— Logan, 1/14/2014" Full of suspense, I couldn't put this down! "
— Luke, 1/11/2014" These are fun. I was surprised to discover that the book is so much better than the movie! In my opinion, of course. "
— Elaine, 12/22/2013" I liked this book a lot, but I LOVED THE MOVIE!!! "
— Jenya, 11/3/2013" Read it over 20 years ago, had to get my daughter a copy since she's a Pretty Little Liars fan. I thought I'd just skim to make sure it's appropriate (can't remember) but of course I'm hooked and will be reading cover to cover. "
— Ally, 11/2/2013" this book was actually not as good as it would seem. it had a great story up untill the end, but you never really got to know the characters. the ending was too rushed. it really needed a good editor. "
— Rose, 10/26/2013" I read this probably in middle school, I read a lot of mediocre horror/mystery fiction like this in my youth. At the time I liked them quite a bit, now it is sort of embarrassing, but I'll tell you what-i have some pretty good deducing skills now... "
— Tiah, 2/27/2013" Better if you haven't seen the movie and don't know the ending. "
— Bean, 2/26/2013" The ending was really unexpected! The book was awesome! "
— Lucy, 10/24/2012" THIS BOOK=PHENOMENAL!!! OMG! THIS IS SOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN HER DAUGHTERS OF EVE BOOK! THAT BOOK STUNK!!! It made me hate guys for a while... "
— Emily, 10/17/2012" In my oppionion the book was much better than the movie and worth the read "

— Chantelle, 7/4/2011" predictable plotline...true 70's teenage angst. "
— Sue, 7/1/2011" This has got to be my all time favorite young adult book. I must have read it ten times. The movie was okay, but the book was awesome. "
— Shirley, 5/4/2011" I loved this guilty pleasure read. I thought it was different from the movie,but then again I couldn't really remember the movie. I think I was just in the mood for some mystery and silly suspense. "
— Trisha, 3/14/2011" this book lik totally rock lik this book is so freakin awesome i literally could not stop reading it "
— Sdw65377, 2/24/2011" The movie was NOTHING like the book, but in this case it was a good thing. The book was boring, it's not a slasher story, it was more like a pseudo-stalker story. "
