Description
For new recruit Nicki, college tennis becomes a match to the death A scholarship to college is what every high school student dreams about. But for military brat Nicki Bledsoe, who's changed schools eight times over twelve years, a tennis scholarship to Salem University means having to prove herself all over again. It doesn't help that Nicki gets a far-from-warm welcome from Libby DeVoe, the school's reigning tennis star. The fiercely competitive Libby seems intent on making Nicki's life show more miserable. Someone writes "go away, loser" in hair mousse on Nicki's locker. A tire on her car is slashed. Her lucky tennis racket is destroyed. It has to be Libby . . . right? Nicki is determined to prove that she doesn't scare so easily . . . but it's already too late. Her enemy has put a plan in motion to beat Nicki in a terrifying game--and losing means certain death. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Diane Hoh including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection. show lessTags

Fun! I have a soft small for college setting retro series, not just the horror ones. This had several suspects that made sense and then another twist at the end. Fun times. A first read for me, although I've read some of the series in the past, was happy to grab a lot of them on sale. Hopefully the others hold up as well.
