I like to read RL Stine when I feel like I’m over-complicating my plots and my life. What I’ve learned from this book is that every time I come up with a plot issue (or life issue), I need to insert a time warp. And that will solve everything.

I wonder if I can hire someone to install a Time Warping thingy in my closet? Anyone have a number for that?

Needless to say, despite the surprise ---Guess what? The murderer was time warping!!!! --- ending. I really enjoyed the book.

RL Stine rocks.
The sun is hot.
The water is cold.
And the kids are cool.
Too cool to live.
Because a killer is stalking them, one by one. A killer who never leaves a Clue. Who dissapears as completely as a footprint in the sand.

A killer who has found a very special place in the sun
for some very special fun....

Fun up until the end. Stine just doesn't understand how time travel works. Why did Maria age when she went to the future but Buddy didn't?

I liked. Didnt know what was going to come next. Had a good twist. And the characters were good they really got you invovled.
A group of friends go to a beach house for the summer and the girl meets the man of her dreams. He turns out to be a killer whose name is buddy. Blaker pound and buddy were the same person all along. It has was weird the way things would happen but it was a good book.
