Rachael, orRae, is an ordinary teenager with an ordinary life. She’s going steady with a smart, nice, boy who happens to be her neighbor, and she has an awesome best friend. Things are going pretty good for Rae until her mother receives awful news from the police office saying that her only sister and her sister’s husband died in a dreadful car accident, leaving her sister’s daughter, Julia, homeless. v Her mother decides that Julia is coming to stay with Rae’s family for a while. From her mother and her aunt’s written description of her daughter, she was a positive angel. She was smart and sang beautifully, and she made her parent’s house come to life.Soon after Julia arrives, however, Rae’s life became a total disaster. Her cousin decides to take over her home. She steals Rae’s boyfriend, best friend, and bedroom. Was this the “angel” her aunt described in her past letters? Rae was about to lose hope when she finds figures of wax dolls, matches, and elements of witchcraft in Julia's bureau. No one will believe her when she explains and they all accuse her for being jealous of her beautiful cousin. Only her dog understands her because the minute Trickle met Julia he dashed in and started barking and bit her ankle, and Trickle with his good- nature never did that to anyone or anything before. Later on, Trickle dies in a strange and disturbing way
that leads Rae to find a way to reveal the truth about her cousin.
I loved this book, along with all the other books by Lois Duncan. This suspense novel really set me thinking. I had no idea that the book would end the way it ended. For those readers who love suspense or thrillers, I highly recommend you to go grab one of the Lois Duncan books and find out for yourself what I’m trying to tell you.

After reading this review of the book, I really want to read it. It sounds fun and mysterious at the same time. Your review of the book is really good because you gave lots of details and told us what the book what about, buy didn't reveal the ending.
wow, after reading the review of this book it really makes me want to know more about it. It sounds very mysterious and thrilling with a somewhat complex plot.
Good job with the review!

I like your report it gave me a good idea about what the book is really about. I like books like this because it shows that those who look like they are so innocent arnt always what you think. so it shows the bad side of the "innocent" one. This book sounds really good because i would like to see what happenes if Rae's cousin ever gets caught doing the stuff shes done. I would like to try and read this book sometime.

I want to read this book when I finish my book. I want to read it because it sounds like an interesting book, and also sad. I usually like books that are about people dying, and then something happens to the family.

From reading this review i think that this book sounds a bit scary and sad because Julia's parents died. I also feel bad for Rachel because her life turned into a disaster, it made me think of what i would do in a situation like this. This book review is convincing and catchy and makes me want to read it.

Wow even though I've never heard of this book, it sounds really good and I can't wait to find it and eventually read it. The review is interesting enough just to capture my attention but then again I do like this genre of books.
