Out of Darkness/Graham, Heather/250 pages (Author's Last Name ends in "M")

     Out of Darkness is a fairly good romance novel with a serial killer theme.  Did I catch your interest?
     Six high school seniors are out for fun on Halloween night.  Sarah, the cheerleader, Tyler, her football playing boyfriend, Sean, Suzie, Hannah, and Davey.  Davey, who has Downs Syndrome, balks at going into a spooky house so Sarah and Davey stay behind while the others go inside and encounter a real life murder scene--blood everywhere, severed heads, and a knife wielding killer still threatening.  The killer is taken down by police and the teens are all traumatized and drift off their separate ways.  Now it is 10 years later and one of the six is brutally chopped apart and the group comes back together to solve the mystery.  I thought the ending was pretty standard but it came about 40 pages before the end of the book.  Little did I know that the author had a trick up her sleeve and it took until the last few pages of the book to solve, resolve and get everybody the ending they deserve.  Good read!
