      When Josie and Erica's sister,Rachel, is hurt in a riding accident, all their lives change. Erica is charged with much of Rachel's care because Josie always finds an excuse to be somewhere else. As Valentine's day approaches, Josie starts receiving threatening Valentine cards. Who could hate Josie so much. Is it Rachel's old boyfriend who blames Josie for the accident? is it Melissa, Josie's ex-BFF?

      This book was really good. Well for tweens and teens who like a little mystery. This one is creepy but not supernatural at all. And I have to say that I was surprised at the end.

      I did not guess the ending of this one at all- I was sure Rachel was guilty the whole time. I'm not into Stine's nasty characters- like Josie in this one (or nasty Reba from Silent Night), so I wasn't too sad about Josie dying. What did bother me was that Erica's parents do nothing to fix the situation with Josie not helping.

    Chapter 1

    A SURPRISE IN

    THE MAIL

    Whoa!

    Melissa could feel the horse thundering beneath her.

    It felt so solid, so massive, so strong. The hoofbeats thundered through the darkness. The horse was galloping out of control.

    Out of control.

    She could feel its muscles flex, hear its loud, steady breathing. She could feel its warmth, its heavy sweat.

    Whoa! Please!

    Through the darkness. Out of control.

    She couldn’t stop it.

    Faster it galloped.

    She leaned forward, her jet black hair flying behind her, and wrapped her arms around its neck.

    Whoa! Please, whoa!

    Holding on tightly, so tightly she could feel the blood pulsing through the horse’s veins, feel it swallow, feel it gulp air as it surged through the night.

    Help me! Somebody, help me! Melissa screamed.

    She lay against the animal’s neck, leaning into its solid weight as she bounced wildly, frantically.

    Out of control.

    Help me, somebody! I’m going to fall!

    Through the hot darkness.

    She could hear each breath the horse took, each pulse of its heart, each thud of its hooves.

    Help me! Help me!

    She could still feel the horse galloping and its banging heartbeats as someone shook her and called her name.

    Melissa, wake up!

    But the horse wouldn’t stop.

    Even as someone called Melissa’s name and tried to shake her awake, the horse wouldn’t stop.

    Then she opened her eyes, still bouncing, still holding on so tightly, still out of control.

    Melissa, another dream, her mother said softly, peering down at her in the blue-black light of the darkened bedroom, her eyes wet with concern. Another bad dream, Melissa. Wake up.

    The horse wouldn’t stop, Melissa said.

    Mrs. Davis wrapped her daughter in a hug. Her nightgown smelled of perfume, tangy and sweet.

    My mom feels so cold, Melissa thought, staring wide-eyed but seeing nothing. I guess it’s because I’m so very hot.

    The horse wouldn’t stop, Melissa whispered, pulling away, sinking back onto her damp pillow. I was going to fall.

    Five months later and you’re still dreaming about horses, Mrs. Davis said softly. She leaned forward and clicked on the bedside lamp.

    Melissa squinted against the harsh cone of yellow light. Yeah. Five months later, she said glumly, finally out of her horrifying dream.

    The horse faded into the light. The rhythm of its hooves drowned out by a rush of cold wind through the open bedroom window.

    The same dream over and over, Melissa said, pulling the covers up to her chin. "It’s even the same
