Discussion With Young Adult Mystery Author Kelli Sue Landon 05/09 by Lynnette Phillips | Blog Talk Radio
New Camp Forrestwood Review!
4.0 out of 5 stars Mystery and Fear Mount: Great YA Mystery, August 30, 2011
This review is from: Nightmare At Camp Forrestwood: A Young Adult Whodunit (Kindle Edition)
If you are a fan of YA Mystery, then you will love this book. I loved her first novel, 'Sudden Moves: A Young Adult Mystery', however, 'Nightmare at Camp Forrestwood' is even better. Intense and suspenseful. (Yes, Forrestwood is spelled correctly.) REVIEW
The book has a slow start as each character was brought into play. Once the action starts, you get pulled through so quickly, you become part of the story -- frantic, scared, and running for your life through the dark woods, pursued by an unknown assailant.
The immature and "high-school" in-fighting between students was spot on, yet it seemed more like students from Detention on a camping trip, rather than the Senior class. Landon used this interwoven clash of classes to feed the nature of the plot.
Mystery and fear mounts as students start to disappear. I took a loud audible breath when the first victim was discovered brutally murdered. All 'tough guy' and 'upper class' facades crumbled, and what was left were teenagers, caught alone, in a horrific circumstance of murder. Speculation and accusations start to surface, as Landon takes fear to the next level -- terror. Panic ensues, resulting in rash behavior, causing students to run foolishly out into the night, unprotected and vulnerable.
Until the first murder, I was certain the entire "scare" was some horrible teen prank. I found myself pulled into the story, and running with them, struggling to survive. And what was unnerving, and expertly written, was the identity of the killer remained a secret until the end of the book.
"Nightmare at Camp Forrestwood" is Kelli Sue Landon's second novel and a hit. I recommend this for the tween reader on up... (there is minor cussing and a very minor suggestive segment, that adults may not find appropriate for younger children).
Thank you, Kelli, for another great YA Mystery. I look forward to your next adventure.
I received this novel directly from the Author.
