Deadly Little Secrets by Laurie Faria Stolarz
Ok...how is it I never heard about this book? I love it! Let me try to label it It's a mystery, but also a romance...it's realistic with a touch of paranormal, and it could very easily be a box office horror film!
Camellia is your average teenage girl. She is pretty and nice. She is not overly popular, but gets attention from cute boys. Her friends are adorably quirky and funny. Her parents are eccentric and lovable.
Her life is pretty normal...humph...boring until the super hot, mysterious new boy Ben saves her life. Ben, unfortunately, arrives with a bad reputation. Camilla wants to trust him. She is drawn to him, but he acts so strange. He insists he wants to help her. He claims that she is in danger. When he touches her, something weird happens. Camellia's life starts to get scary. She begins to get strange gifts, pictures of herself, prank phone calls, frightening messages, and someone has been in her room. Camellia believes this is a practical joke and doesn't tell her parents or call the police. This is what reminded me of a horror film - like the girl who decides to go outside to check on a noise...WHAT?
Listed below are some of the reasons I found this book to be so good:
Great story
Lovable main character
Strong secondary characters
Complicated romance
Fun, witty banter
Constant anticipation
I read this book because a student recommended it to me. I had no idea I would like it so much!!!
