Sweet Valley High #123 Elizabth's Rival

Elizabeth, Jessica, Winston, and Lila are junior counsolors at camp Echo Mountain. No seriously thats what it's called. The best part(for Elizabeth) is that Maria Slater from SVT is going to be a junior counsolor too. Naturally they are really excited to hang . Also Maria is moving back to Sweet Valley after this summer and she is bringing a friend to camp who she thinks will be great friends with Liz. Yeah um sure. A few books ago was the whole gang wars/surfing thing where Jessica's boyfriend dies so for the summer she has sworn of men. Very un-Jessica like but whatever, she's actually being human. Lila is ready for a summer of love. Winston is......not really in the book except for the casual mention. That makes me sad. So they get to camp and they unpack there stuff and Elizabeth decides that she is going to write the camp play and so she takes over the whole desk. I found this very assumptive and rude and Elizabeth. A fellow counselor comes in to unpack her stuff and takes over the desk and puts Elizabeth's stuff in a box. Also rude. I should be the manners police. I'm going to put that as my job on facebook. Maybe. Anyways Elizabeth finds Maria and she meets Maria's friend, the girl who took over the computer desk. Lame. Jessica's campers copy everything she does. Lila's campers mock her and are mean, she meets a guy who is obsessed with the outdoors and outdoor stuff. Elizabeth's campers hate her and never listen to her and they get the whole camp to call her 'Dizzy Lizzy'.  Everyone has a campfire one night and the camp owner tells everyone a 'true' scary story, This guy was weird or maybe a little disturbed its not really clear but he lived in the woods and worked at the camp, he fell in love with a counselor at the camp but the counselors are not allowed to do that stuff and the camp owner told them to quit it, the girl went to her room and cried for two days, the owner finally goes to see the poor girl after TWO DAYS and the girl is missing, all her stuff was still there too but the woodsman was also missing without taking his stuff. Elizabeth writes her camp play based on this and Nicole steals when Elizabeth is out with her campers. Elizabeth confronts her about it and Nicole admits to what happened but they are interrupted by a noise outside. Lila keeps pretending that she is outdoorsy for the guy she like and eventually they both admit that they are rich kids who hate camping. Jessica has a camper that videos everything and Jessica learns that Nicole confession is on one of the tapes and she plays it for everyone. Elizabeth is back in everyones good graces. Again.

SVH Magna Edition The Evil Twin

And because I'm so nice here is the inlet.

So it's Christmas time and the twins hate each other because of the whole Elizabeth killed Jessica's boyfriend but it wasn't her fault thing. Seriously Wikipedia it. The twins are fighting because Jessica tricked Elizabeth and Todd into breaking up and then she went out with him. So this crazy chick Margo who looks like the twins is running around pretending to be them and plotting to kill Elizabeth and take over her life. Seriously she wants to be Elizabeth. I thought about it though and she can take over being Elizabeth and slowly make her more cool, or she can take over being Jessica and be stuck listening to Liz FOREVER. I think she made the right choice. She has this guy James working for her, spying on the twins and dating Jessica. I love this book but it's got a ton of filler. Basically what happens it at Lila's new years party Margo tricks Elizabeth into going out to the pool house and tries to kill her but Jessica saves Liz and Margo falls through the glass window and dies.

SVT Super Chiller The Ghost in the Bell Tower

The twins and there cousins Robin and Stacy are going to there never before mentioned aunts house to help her clean up and restore an old inn that she inherited. So they spend most of the time playing tricks on each other and denying it so naturally the ghost gets away with some tricks because everyone denies that they played any tricks so everyone basically thinks it's everyone else playing tricks on them. It's lame.  The mystery is that the woman who used to own the inn loved this guy but her dad was making her marry someone else and the guy she love rang the bell as she was about to marry the other guy he died in the bell tower. So they clean out the attic to get to the bell tower and then they ring the bell and the ghost is gone. 

SVT Super Chiller The Haunted Burial Ground

 

This book is sooo not as good as I remember it but it's close to Halloween so I just went with it. So Elizabeth is working for knock off Habitat for Humanity to build a clubhouse for some nature scouts or some crap, it's really preachy and annoying, we get it Liz does things out of the goodness of her heart. Also theres a new girl who is conveniently moving next month. I like that they actually took the time to say that she would be a one book wonder. Jessica wants to have a Halloween party. The girls convience Lila's dad to let them use an old shack for there party and if they clean it up the nature scouts get to use it for there club house after the party is over. The next hundred pages are everyone cleaning the club house and getting scared by ghosts. They figure out that it was a burial ground and that the ghost wants them to leave it alone. Done with boring book.

SVU Thriller Edition Kiss of the Vampire

Scary Banister! Yeah but I didn't have anything else to say......
So Elizabeth and Tom have entered a contest to stay with and write an article for the famous journalist Nicolas Des Perdu, and conveniently right now is when they are opening the envelopes to see who won. Shock! It's Tom. Yes Elizabeth did not win. Seriously. Squee.  So Liz takes Tom to the airport a few days later and yeah.  Meanwhile Jessica is trying to get this room in the theta house but head jerkface Alison Quinn wants it but Jessica gives it up after Alison almost gets murdered there by a stranger(Nicolas Des Perdu).  Tom has an unpleasant trip because the maid tries to sleep with him basically, and Nicolas freaks out when he see Elizabeth's picture and has a flash back(basically he's from back in the day and he had a young wife who looked just like Elizabeth and he went off to wore and someone told them that he died and she killed herself but it was a mistake and he was still alive, he got depressed and a sexy vampire turned him into a vampire). and he comes back. After Tom is back for a few days Nicolas shows up when Elizabeth is working at the tv station to talk about Tom and how Nicolas wants to give him this surprise award and how Elizabeth cant tell him because it's a surprise. Uh yeah ok. So they hang out a ton and basically start dating. It's creepy. Elizabeth starts sleepwalking and stuff so everyone is worried about her. Tom thinks he sees Nicolas in Sweet Valley and soon enough he realizes that Nicolas is there and that he is a vampire. But Nicolas has already convinced Elizabeth to go with him home to New Orleans. Tom and Jessica get there a day later and save him from turning her into a vampire but he gets away. Elizabeth is ok and all is well.

SVH Thriller Murder in Paradise Mini recap

Why is Lila pointing at her boob? Anyway moving on, Enid thinks George is going to leave her for someone prettier and so she has developed body image issues. I blame the media blamers, and the Wakefield twins. So the twins and their mom, Lila and Grace(her mom), and Enid(without mom) are all on a spa trip that Alice won in a random contest from the phonebook. Suspicious. Anyway Enids mom is soo busy with her job or whatever that she can't go because she is busy. Enid gets all sad. They get to the spa and meet the weird owner that Alice thinks she knows from somewhere but can't figure it out. Foreshadowing much? The weird lady owner person shes she had a special hair treatment for redheads that she can give Enid. She goes with her and she gets all creepy and basically starts brainwashing her into thinking she is ugly. Later she has a special treatment for freakles, she basically just keeps brainwashing her and getting her into hating the twins and other beautiful people. Elizabeth meets a girl that works there and learns that she ran away from home and that the employees just work there for room and board and arn't allowed to leave without permission. Ned EMAILS Elizabeth that he remembers the creepy owner as a girl at SVU when they went there who was teased beause she was ugly and was a science major who was in a experiment accident and got acid on her face. Basically she is bitter and out to get Alice. Elizabeth goes to find her but she has been kidnapped by the evil owner lady and they have to go find her in a secret lab building. They get there and evil lab lady has brainwashed Enid into helping her STEAL ALICE'S FACE. I'm serious. She is trying to transplant Alice's face onto hers. Really. Anyways Enid folds and helps Elizabeth save Alice. Everyone learns a lession about true beauty. Haha just kidding.  The end.


Side notes:
Jessica falls in love for the 137th time
Elizabeth cheats on Todd also for the 137th time
It's funny how Enid is so ugly because of her red hair but tons of women dye there hair red
