Summary: Book Description
Review: Because there is not a book description for this book, I am going to write what it says on the back of the book, then I will tell you my opinion of the book:
"Trish smiles into the dressing-room mirror, admiring herself in the gorgeous white dress. Unknown to her, someone else is satching. He knows she is smiling just for him. His soft, strange voice whispers her name from the crowd. His hooded eyes follow her every move....
At first she thinks he's just a creepy customer, hanging around Muffin Mania where she works at the mall. But suddenly he's everywhere, the man with a thousand faces tormenting her day and night. He knows her secrets. There's no safe place to hide. There's no one she can tell, no one she can trust. How can she escape a madman willing to kill to make her his--forevermore."
This is one of the first books that I ever read by Cusick, and I liked it a lot. Trish works at the local mall with her friends Nita and Imogene. There she meets two guys, Wyatt and Storm. She kindof has this thing for Storm, but she can't trust anyone, and he seems mysterious. The reason she can't trust anyone is because there is a weird mysterious guy following her around in the mall, and other places as well. Trish starts to become paranoid, and she has good reason to. She even gets hurt by this weirdo. Read this book to find out what happens, and you wont regret it! The ending is surprising!
Richie Tankersley Cusick has got to be my favorite author. I have loved every book that I have read by her. I know many other people love her books as well, and I don't understand why her books are not being printed anymore! It's so hard to find them!
Here are the other great books that I have read by this author:
The Lifeguard
Vampire
Someone at the Door
Trick or Treat
Scarecrow
Silent Stalker, which isn't as good as the others, but it is still pretty good.

Summary: Fantastic!!!!
Review: Great storyline!!! What an idea! Whoever thought working at a mall could actually be the least bit dangerous? I suspected a lot of different people throughout all of this, but when those of you who haven't read it yet, read it, you'll begin to see why. In this particular story, my fav characters had to be Trish and Storm. One is not at all what they're made out to be. I was surprised. Some classic sarcastic humor also throughout. Really, great though!!!!!

Review: I read this book when I was eleven years old which was about nine years ago. It's an incredible book that is original as well as suspenceful. I reccommend it to anyone of any age. After reading this book, please do not stop there, because she has lots of other great books that are just as good. I look forward to reading "The House Next Door" which is due out this January. I cannot describe how excited I am about the upcoming arrival of this book.

Summary: The tale of terror at a ordinary shopping mall.
Review: Stalker! Obsession! Love triangle! The Mall by Richie Tankersley Cusick uses these events to create a very suspenseful book. I liked the novel. One reason why I liked The Mall was the character Athan. He was very sneaky and mysterious. I never knew when he was going to appear. At first, I did not know who or what he was because he did not really appear a lot, but when he did the author made sure that his role took a big part. For instance, when he first appeared, he was sitting down at a table in the food court hiding behind a newspaper, staring at one particular person, wearing all black, with his body feeling like ice. If a strange guy ever stared at me the way he did, I do not know what I would do. Call the police? I do not know. He was very mysterious because when his character appeared he always looked different. One minute he would be an ordinary kind of guy, looking like a guard that works the night shifts for the mall and the next looking just like a kid that likes to shop. This guy had a thousand faces, and no one knew what he would be next but him. I also could not believe that Athan lived in the walls of the mall. I found this to be very freaky. Who in his or her right mind would ever live in the walls of a mall? I know I would not. Then again, I could understand why he could when this particular mall was the first one to be built and had been rebuilt many times. I guess at one point or another people would think the mall would have passageways. Who would not? He used the walls to hide in to watch the girl that he was interested in. For instance, when she was trying on a white dress, she felt like someone was watching her. When she looked around the dressing room to find out who, she could not find anyone because he was behind the mirror in the wall. This is the kind of action that makes him mysterious. Another reason The Mall was a good book was that the character Trish was very interesting. She was a brave person, who tried to find out the truth about what was happening to her. Even though she got scared at times, she still tries to stick up for herself. For instance, the first time she showed her courage was when she tried to run away from Storm. She thought at one point that he was the one that was causing all the pain that she was going through. When she tried running away from him, he caught her and pinned her down to the cold, dirty ground. She fought with all her might to get him loose. I do not see why he pulled her into his car against her free will. If one of my friends wanted to take me out to get some fresh air, by pulling me into his car, I do not know what I would do. I probably would scream and say, "Let me go!," but he might not listen because we are friends. Towards the end, Trish was also brave when she tried to capture Athan in the mall. At first, she was running away from him, but later she wondered why she should be running away from him when she wanted to know what he wanted from her. That is a good point of view. Why run away when sooner or later the craziness has to come to an end? Overall, The Mall was a very good book. Later, when the weather is cold outside, sit next to a warm fire and start reading The Mall. Oh yeah, make some popcorn, too, because once I started reading this I could not stop!

Summary: BLOODY
Review: The Mall is the first Cusick book I've read, I loved it. It was truely disgusting. This is a book about a mall that has a kind of 'night watchman' that isn't what he pretends to be. A real good book.
