Summary: Interesting
Review: "The Killer's Cousin" is a good book. It has a lot of suspenful parts to it for example when you are trying to figure out who killed who. It also keeps you interested by making you think about you a really reading. The book also makes you wonder a lot too. You would never guess that a seventeen year old kid could do the things that he has done but try never hard to make up for them. I think people should read this book if they like a little suspence.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Creepy, but great
Review: A great story, I couldn't believe how I just escaped into the story. Werlin's plot twists were a little predictable, I knew what would happen, but not how! I couldn't put it down and read it in just 2 hours.

Summary: Warning!! You won't be able to put it down!!!
Review: As much as I enjoyed Werlin's Are You Alone On Purpose, I now realize she was just warming up! Living with our mistakes is a common human condition... but what if those mistakes included killing someone you love.. even if it was accidental? Now, add the fact that you are a high school student... This is just the beginning of the story. With characters so real you expect to see them enter the room... incidents so vivid you wonder if you experienced them.. emotions so well described your heart pounds.. you read as fast as you can.. to the hair raising, heart warming conclulsion! Hurray, for Nancy Werlin! I'm so glad I can read!!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: A stunner--keeps you breathless!
Review: David Yaffe isn't the same person he used to be. Death--death that he caused--has broken his life into two parts, and he is fearfully, exhaustedly, trying to feel his way through the part he is in now. His angry aunt and the young cousin whose persecution goes beyond brattiness add nothing to his serenity. But he is writing, as he points out, about his cousin and not himself, and it is the cousin we come to see almost as clearly as we see David. This is YA because it has a young hero and is short. But it would be a pity if only teenagers got to read it; those of us past the teen years are not immune to the deep, fast heartbeat of this book.
