Title: The Bride
Author: DE Athkins
Published: June 1996
Publisher: Scholastic, Inc.
Pages: 10 (?)
Summary:

Jamie's thrilled to be invited to her cousin Blaine's wedding - after all it's going to be the event of the year. Blaine Harrod, the gorgeous supermodel, marrying the wealthy handsome Preston Alden - it's a fairy tale come true ... or is it? Because things start to go wrong, very wrong. (from fantasticfiction.co.uk)

You know, I'm not a huge fan of these elusive types of blurbs. What went wrong? Were the bridesmaids' dresses horrible? Did the groom not match the bride? Did she faceplant walking down the aisle? Obviously it means something creepy and spooky but it's so . . . cliche. I'm going to write a book with a main character named Very Wrong just so she can say Wrong. Very Wrong.

Title: The Cemetery

Published: January 1993
Publisher: Scholastic, Inc.
Summary:

At a Hallowe'en party with very exclusive guests, the disguised play a game of hide and seek in an ancient cemetery as midnight approaches. When someone is killed, all the partygoers can do is suspect each other - unless there is an unknown player. (from fantasticfiction.co.uk)

Sounds kind of ordinary, run of the mill horror. Ancient cemetery. Not going to find too many of those unless you're in Egypt. Old, sure. But not ancient. Points for ambiance but premise? Meh.

Title: The Ripper
Author: DE Athkins
Published: October 1992
Publisher: Scholastic, Inc.
Pages: 176
Summary:

It started out as a game. A game of hiding and seeking. A game of hunting and weeping. And before anyone knew what was happening, someone was killed. The game was over. And the only suspects they had were each other--unless there was else out there . . . someone who was still playing the game.

The cover definitely freaks me out. Not sure about the premise but it has potential. I'd be disappointed if it didn't live up to the freaky on the cover, though. Not really sure how I feel about this one. Interesting . . .

Title: Mirror, Mirror

Published: April 1992
Publisher: Scholastic, Inc.
Pages: 160
Summary:

Offered a chance to have it all--beauty, popularity, and more--Dore jumps at the chance, but her pact with her new friend, Luci, may have cost her her soul. (from fantasticfiction.co.uk)

Eh. I've heard it before. I read a set of vampire books by Caroline B. Cooney that sounded just like this. But this cover is pretty freaky. Not like I liked mirrors to begin with. Now I'm just a little more tweaked out by them. Great. Cool MC name though. Not too common.

Pages: 176
Summary:

Since Vicki's accident, everyone has been treating her like an invalid, including her brother and sister. Now someone is playing pranks on Vicki, cruel pranks that remind her of the accident. Vicki knows she can rely on her siblings to help her sort things out. After all, isn't blood thicker than water?

New author. Let's see if this one can hold a candle to Sinclair Smith. Judging by the summary, there's a chance for potential. Unique premise, intriguing plot . . . I just might read it . . . *scratches chin*
