Bury Me Deep by Christopher Pike
I am going to boo the heck out of the cover of the newest release, I loved the older version of the cover I had when I was a teen. I really did love this book ridiculously as a teenager, and I still enjoyed it. Pike really did just go all out with murder and really grown up topics. I thought this one did a great job with the horror and fantasy elements. “Bury Me Deep” follows Jean who is off to Hawaii to join […]

Gimme a Kiss by Christopher Pike
Jane Retton keeps a fictional diary that somehow ends up being copied and splashed all over school. In her latest entry she wrote about how she lost her virginity to her boyfriend, but it was a lie! The mean cheerleader is obviously behind this smear campaign (because Jane once said something sort of nasty about the cheerleaders in the school paper), and her boyfriend is denying it (she thinks it’s cos he’s a lame-o dude thinking about his own reputation but he mostly didn’t want […]

Weekend by Christopher Pike
Shani is headed to Mexico with a group of friends to stay with their rich-but-do-they-even-like-her? frenemy, Lena. She has an amazing beach house totally cut off from the world and a darling adopted sister who is currently dying from kidney failure thanks to an accidental-but-probably-not poisoning at a party. Said party was attended by all those at this fabulous weekend away. Coincidence? But Shani isn’t worrying about any of that at the start, she’s too busy fantasising about what she’ll do to Brit boy Flynn […]
