Advantages: Keeps you in suspense until the very very end!

Disadvantages: NOTHING!

As many of you know I have set myself a task to read all the point horror books I have. I am actually getting quite bored with them, which is shocking, however they are really good, and I am revising as well so maybe I prefer to read books rather than do revision, so I'm trying not to read until exams are over, as if that'll happen. I have just done an English Exam today, so this review might not be perfect. I have 6 more Point Horror books to review; I have read all of the Point Horror books I have.

I am officially a massive fan of the Point horror books and I'm dreadfully upset to find out that they've gone and disappeared. I love the way these books are created and I think they are a real inspiration to everyone who would like to go down the author career route, as they are simple but brilliant. And if a publisher did the same as Point Horror has, then tonnes of new authors would find limelight. Famous authors (from the Point Horror series) include R.L. Stine (see review on "Hit & Run"), Richie Tankersley Cusick (See review on "Trick or Treat"), Malcolm Rose & Caroline B. Cooney to name a few. Although there has been a few books from this series I've read that I thought the author should have became famous only they didn't, here's a few I think: Samantha Lee (Read Reviews on Demon & Demon II), Sinclair Smith (read review on "The Waitress"), Linda Cargill (read review on "The Dark"), Carmen Adams (read review on "The Claw") and D.E. Athkins (Author of this book). If Point Horror had lasted for a little longer I reckon these authors would have been famous, and I really feel for these authors, it usually is the ones whose books are quite possibly the better ones of the series.

The Author D.E. Athkins is very un-known but who knew that D.E. Athkins is really quite famous considering it is a pseudonym (Death Kins) For Nola Thacker who is supposedly well known as releasing many books for teenagers, though I have never heard of her!

This story was amazing and as usual kept me guessing and I never even considered an outcome just like this one, it totally stands out from the rest of the Point Horror group, seriously once you get to the end this will surprise you since you searched all the way through the book to point a finger at!

This book looks just like the other book by D.E. Athkins called The Ripper, and the synopsis sounds just the same. But I can't be too sure they are the same!

This story is about a group of friends that go up to an old cemetery for a Halloween party, as the one going on at the school isn't cool enough for them. Then they play a harmless game of Hide & Seek (seriously who plays that game at age 16-18?) Anyhow the game suddenly becomes frightening when they find a friend dead - ripped into pieces by Jack the Ripper (The costume the boy, who died, was wearing). Now deaths are appearing amongst the friends and they start pointing the finger at one another, but who truly is the murderer?

This really got me guessing and I was so annoyed at myself for trying as hard as I did!

This is a really great book and I really do recommend it to anyone and everyone as it is AMAZINGLY great!

Thank you all so much for reading and rating and commenting and I look forward for more commenting and rating, Thanks!
