She wants to run to some one for help but who. The only person she trusts is her secret admirer but who is he. She also needs to know who is trying to scare her, why are they trying to scare her, does she know to much about the accident on the Rimrocks!!! I loved this book, it is so thrilling. All the twistes and turns make it impossible to put it down after you start to read the book. I feel that Carol Ellis would be smart to turn the book into a series for I feel that there could be more to the story. This book is perfect for that cold, rainy day when there is nothing better to do than sit down with a cup of hot chocolate and read a book.

Is Jenny's Secret Admirer Trying to Kill Her?

Sixteen-year-old Jenny Fowler has just moved to Rimrock with her parents, but she's soon on her own when her parents leave town for a couple weeks on business. In the meantime, Jenny has no problem making new friends and is invited on a scavenger hunt with a few other high school students. However, the event turns near-fatal when one of the teens falls off a cliff and ends up in a coma. Jenny can't believe it was accident, although everyone claims it was; she clearly remembers hearing an argument followed by a scream. Yet when she admits to hearing something, her friends are either skeptical or suspicious. She doesn't know which is worse: not having anyone believe her, or having everyone believe she pushed the girl off the ledge?The incident is then complicated when Jenny starts receiving anonymous phone calls from a secret admirer, while at the same time, being harassed by someone else who wants her dead. Will she ever discover who either stranger is before the threats escalate to murder?If you're a fan of Point thrillers, then you should definitely read this one. Recommended for ages 12 and up.

One of the best books I have ever read

This is truly an outstanding book. I never read, and once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. It is about a new girl in town, that has a secret admirer, but she also has just the opposite. Someone who is after her trying to scare her off. She is alone in her house for the weekend. Will she make it?
