MIDNIGHT GAMES by R. L. Stine


MIDNIGHT GAMES, the eagerly awaited sequel to MOONLIGHT SECRETS, has arrived red hot and just begging to be read. Nate and his friends still continue their nighttime rendezvous. They call themselves the Night People, sneaking out of their homes to meet in the deserted early morning hours at the local bar for a chance to hang out and experience a bit of well-needed freedom. But when strange things start happening, like their car plunging unexplainably into the river, some of the Night People decide to get to the bottom of things. They suspect an amulet stolen from the deserted Fear Mansion of granting the power to cast spells. An evening investigation with deadly results turns up a fake plastic replica of the amulet and more questions than answers.

As the days grow colder, a new student to Shadyside High arrives in town. Jamie's cousin, Dana, moves in with her to finish senior year. A bit on the lonely side, Dana eagerly joins the Night People hoping to find some friends. But almost immediately, she makes enemies instead. Soon after, people start turning up murdered, and Dana is the number one suspect!

It doesn't take long for the entire school to turn their backs on Dana --- except for Nate and Jamie, and even that doesn't last too long. And worse, Jamie seems different; she's been dabbling in magic, and Dana catches Jamie trying to put a curse on her --- though what Dana discovers hidden in the garage scares every other thought out of her mind!
