SYNOPSIS:

THE CRUSH
Michael Barton is smart, sweet, gorgeous–the total package. Which is why some of the girls have decided to have a little contest. Whoever hooks up with Michael first will be the winner. There’s just one problem. One of the girls has been harboring a secret crush on Michael for years. She’ll do anything to be his girlfriend. She’ll play the game. She’ll win his heart. She’ll beat the competition… to death.

THE CRUSH II
Michael Barton has experienced the dark side of love. He has survived the advances of a psychotic stalker. He has endured her deadly game of obsession. And now he is free from her web of lust and lies. But Michael has a surprise waiting for him. His secret admirer is still out there. Watching. Waiting. Plotting her next move. And if Michael thinks he can escape her this time, he’s wrong… dead wrong.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK IT OUT?
Were you one of those kids who read Goosebumps obsessively? Watching old reruns of Are You Afraid of the Dark? Only to graduate onto Fear Street, Christopher Pike books, and any Stephen King you could get your hands on? Us, too!

We’ve been itching for more light-horror for years, that pure entertainment of fictional over-the-top psychopaths—rather than real-world awfulness. We don’t expect anything deep or life-altering here, but a pleasant distraction would be nice, right?

The girl on the cover, presumably she-of-the-titular-obsession, has a cold stare and vicious sneer about her that already has her scaring us from across the internet!

The best part of this novel is that it has not one but two horror-thriller tales! And if you eat those up, author Jo Gibson has two more compilations containing five more suspenseful stories: “Twisted” and “Afraid”.
