Fictional Worlds I’d Rather Not Visit


Fictional worlds I'd rather not visit would include those involving a serial killer or monsters. It would be cool to live in a genie world, but I guess that could be pretty scary too with that whole "Be Careful What You Wish For" thing.

Review: COLLEGE WEEKEND by R.L. Stine

 


Tina was just looking forward to a college weekend with her boyfriend. It didn’t start off well when the girls arrived to an empty train station, where her boyfriend, Josh, was not waiting for her. Instead, Tina hears that he was stuck at a car garage with a faulty transmission. That was already putting a damper to her college weekend.

“Her first college party and instead of being with her boyfriend, she was with his roommate.”

 

Suspicion starts to weigh in on Tina. Was Josh really out camping? Why didn’t he take his car keys or his hiking boots? And where was her cousin, Holly?

 

Soon, Tina becomes the obsession of a crazed stalker who thinks she’s his dead girlfriend.

 

A good read with suspense and fright!

 

Rating: 4 stars

Bekki was finally getting married to the love of her life. It’s been hectic planning a wedding, packing up her house, and running the beauty salon. The one thing she didn’t have time for was finding a dead jeweler and being accused of his murder. As Bekki was going through the last-minute wedding preparations, she was trying to solve a murder and clear her name. I love seeing Bekki kick some tail, too!

 

A good mystery!
