Secret Admirer


Another great book by R.L. Stine, famous horror writer and author of the fabulous Fear Street series.

Selena is a talented actress but suddenly she's being harassed by a mysterious, threatening stalker who warns her to back out of the school production of Romeo and Juliet...or else. Her best friend Katie pleads with her to drop out but Selena is adamant about remaining in her role as Juliet. When her friend is murdered by "The Sun" (as the stalker has been named), Selena reconsiders but ultimately decides to be Juliet in honour of her friend's memory. The Sun isn't pleased about that and it all comes down to a final showdown in the school auditorium...

I liked this book. It wasn't ground-breaking literature, but it was an amusing and suspenseful read. I could kind of guess who The Sun was from the start but then that may have just been a lucky guess. All in all, definitely worth reading on a rainy day.
