4.25

This book gets a 4.25 because of the pace. I thought it was really slow, but then the climax hit and 
I wasn't prepared. I didn't really follow the story that well, but I liked it. Dan Crawford is at a sort of college camp for seniors before college in the summer. He makes friends pretty quickly, but then things start to go wrong quickly. Dan and his friends have to figure out this mystery, while Dan is struggling with a stalker on his cellphone and weird things happening. Overall, I would read it if you like scary mystery's.

kaitieg97's review against another edition

The writing felt a little too campy and the characters were a little one dimensional.
