There's this really great TV show currently airing on MTV that uses this book as source material. MTV is notorious for canceling any halfway decent programming and I'm super obsessed with the show so I felt compelled to read this book. I shouldn't have read because this book is garbage.

I was always more in the Christopher Pike camp rather the R.L. Stine camp. I'm sure I've read at least one Goosebumps books. Eye Candy is the author's attempt to break free from the teen genre and write for adults but it doesn't work. The characters are all one note stereotypes.

Lindy, the main character, is the blonde bombshell that doesn't think she's pretty. Of course she lives in NYC with two roommates, a plain Jane type and the party girl. Lindy makes stupid decisions and was quite annoying.

The only reason that this book gets any stars is because of the double twist ending. I mean I knew who the killer was but to discover that he (SPOILER ALERT) kills on paper through his short stories but not in reality was a surprise. And I sorta knew that the roommate would be the real stalker because of the single white female alluded to during college flashbacks.

Life is short. There are too many books on my to read shelf and I feel I wasted 311 pages that could have been devoted to another book.
