Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bone chilling
Review: Fantastic book! Had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. In the end who would expect that _____ was the kidnapper? I had to read the ending 3 or 4 times to understand it. Who done it? Justin - An encredably sweet and nice guy. Beth is his younger sister (the victom). Neale - Justins older brother. Wierd, you don't know a lot about him. Skip - The other lifeguard. Friends of the family. Rich boy. Crazy man - Has a knife with blood on it. He keeps scaring Kelsey. Has a red scarf that Neale gave Beth. Is it the same one?

Now you pick. Read it find out! Who done it? Who kidnaped Beth? Who is evil??

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just great!
Review: I love all of Richie Tankersley Cusick's books, but this is one of my favorites! Though this book was real scary and everything, there was something else to it. Something better, that made you feel really afraid at the end, when you knew the killer was going to be revieled. And it was actually sad at the end,too, when you found out who it was, because the author really made you care about the characters. A+

Summary: Confusing, but good
Review: In the beginning I pretty much guessed who it was. The ending was sort of confusing. You really have to pay attention to the ending, or you'll get lost. I also felt, that the author stuck in some things, that have no explanations, just to throw you off. Things that didn't make sense. But all in all, I thought it was pretty good. I couldn't put it down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my RTC's Fav book!!!!
Review: Oh, I love this book. OK. Here's the summary.

***Kelsey and her mom went to stay at an island with Kelsey's mom's boyfriend. When they get there, Eric was Kelsey's mom' boyfriend, told them that his daughter Beth was missing. The police can't find any clue about the disappearing. But that's not all weird. There are more disappearing before Kelsey even arrived. Some girls were missing mostly from their dates. Kelsey met Justin and his brother Neale. Both are also Eric's son. Justin is so sweet and incredible nice to Kelsey from the start. He seem to like her a lot. But on the other hand, Neale is so strange and he's mean to her. He dislike her and wouldn't talk at all to her or even to welcome her staying on the island, unlike what Justin like. Then there's Skip, a very handsome guy that Kelsey had attracted on the first place. Donna, who's really nice to Kelsey and befriend with her.
Kelsey found a note from Beth saying the she was in trouble. Kelsey put the note away and when she get back to it, it was gone. Then strange thing happen to her.***

This book is so good. But at the ending is pretty sad. When the culprit was being revealed. But I really do recommend this book along with "The Drifter", another one of my favorite; "April's Fool", "Help Wanted", "Vampire", "Someone at the door" and "Silent stalker". Enjoy!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Nice, Fast-Paced Book!...
Review: Richie Tankersley Cusick delivers another great thriller here with "The Lifeguard." The storyline revolves around a girl named Kelsey. Her and her mother go to Beverly Island to visit her new father-figure. When they arrive, they are bombarded with news of his daughter's disappearance. Things also take a turn for the worse when Kelsey discovers a note under her pillow, written by the missing girl! On top of all this, Kelsey finds out about the recent mysterious drownings on the island, and comes face to face with a creepy fisherman. All of this makes for a terrifying visit she'll never forget!

"The Lifeguard" was a good book. Not the very best I've read from Cusick, but close. Along with most thrillers, it gets you hooked immediately, and never lets go. I also took a liking to the ending. Not entirely surprising, but very dark and ominous. Also, it was a relatively long climax, unlike most stories, which was good. Overall, it is completely worth your time.

b.) "April Fools" by Richie Tankersley Cusick
c.) "The Train" by Diane Hoh
