Wait and See by Ruby Jean Jensen (1986)
4 out of 5 stars
Wait and See is a fun, schlocky story like a 1980s horror film...and I mean that in the best possible way! The setting is a ranch in a small town in California. Charlene, a teenage girl, is killed in the 1950s and her body chained deep down in the local river. Now in the present day (the 1980s) her skeleton is unleashed and Charlene is free to have her revenge.
The story, while using some cliches, was unique and interesting. I thought the characters were described well enough to get their personalities and their motivations. There were definitely some suspenseful and creepy moments. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of the skeleton! I felt like it lost its pacing a couple of times but for the most-part it was a real page-turner.
