To Die For

416 Pages (Paperback)
Date Published: Reprint edition (September 1, 2010)

ABOUT THE BOOK:

This juicy volume features two classic Christopher Pike thrillers: SLUMBER PARTY and WEEKEND. In SLUMBER PARTY, mysterious events begin to unfold around a group of friends vacationing at a ski resort. As they become snowbound, things heat up…for the killer in their midst. In WEEKEND, another group of friends partying at a remote tropical beach manor are forced to confront an ugly event in their past — or suffer violent consequences in the present.

In each of these dream-vacations-gone-bad, not everyone is who they seem, and someone is bloodthirsty….

This double feature of romance, betrayal, and horror is to die for!

MY THOUGHTS:

I used to love Christopher Pike books when I was a young adult (probably about 12 years old) as they were always scary but full of characters not much older than me.  Christopher Pike’s newest book “To Die For” is still a young adult thriller but is great because it is actually two books in one – “Slumber Party” and “Weekend.”  The stories are a good length and each feature an event where a group of friends have to try to survive a vacation weekend.  The stories were pretty easy to figure out and similar to each other, but keep in mind this is a young adult book and not an adult thriller so it is meant for a younger audience.  It does have boys in it but nothing too sexual or inappropriate.  I also had no clue but I guess these stories were older books that have been re-released into a combo book, so maybe I actually read them when I was younger!  I think my 13 year old sister would really like this book as it is not too scary for her but not babyish either.
