The Drifter

Rating:
Summary: read it
Review: Carolyn Baxter's father recently died. Soon after, her mother gets word that her aunt died and her house was left to them. Mrs. Baxter is set on transforming the home -- Glanton House -- into an inn. They need a stronger financial income, so they hire a drifter to fix up the house. This adds to Carolyn's wariness about the house. After all the ghost stories, the creepy housekeeper (Nora), and now the new drifter, what is Carolyn going to do? Joss is tall, dark, and handsome and seems to be there when accidents happen -- rescuing people. Then again, could he be creating them?.....

"The Drifter" was a pretty good book. I love Richie Tankersley Cusick, but this story is her weakest one so far. It didn't hold my interest at all, and the ghostly scenery didn't intrigue me. While there were a couple thrilling parts, they weren't very shocking or surprising....Cusick just incorporated too many ghost stories, which I didn't like. Overall, especially if you're planning on reading this book, and this book only, you should read it. But, if you're going to read all of Cusick's books, put this one on the bottom of your list!......

Also recommended:
a.) "Secret Santa" by D. E. Athkins
b.) "The Train" by Diane Hoh
c.) "Slay Bells" by Jo Gibson
d.) "Starstruck" by Richie Tankersley Cusick
e.) "Vampire" by Richie Tankersley Cusick
f.) "Double Date" by Sinclair Smith
g.) All R. L. Stine young adult thrillers
h.) All books by Joan Lowery Nixon

Summary: Ummm...
Review: Don't get me wrong I love Richie's books but I thought this one is pretty lame. Maybe if I could get into that whole ghost thing i'd like it but that's not really what i'm into. If any first time readers started with this book please don't judge all her books by this one. She usually writes so much better.

Summary: Pretty lame for a Cusick book
Review: I was very disappointed in this book. It was boring, twisting, and I didn't like the main character. If your gonna read a Cusick book read TRICK OR TREAT, VAMPIRE or FATAL SECRETS.

Summary: Good story, major twists at the end!
Review: I've read other books by RTC and this is one of the good ones (others are "Silent Stalker" and "Someone At The Door"). The only think I had a problem with was the whole "ghost" story being told, and told, and told throught the book. I was kind of getting bored reading about the captain and his wife. Although the story about Carolyn and Joss were good, I was rooting for them! The end for me was semi-predictable...I knew some of it, but was totally thrown for the other half! Interesting read and you'll have more questions at the end of the book that you thought, and it makes you think. Good job!

Review: this was the first book i ever read by RTC and i loved it! You could practically fall in love with the characters. Ever since I read the Drifter i've been collecting all her books and now i have all of them except for El Dia de Los Incents. I really need to get my hands on the new one wich will be comming out soon"the house next door" All RTC's books are great i recommend all of them but especially The Drifter, Summer of Secrets, Trick or Treat, Someone at the Door, and The Lifeguard.
