About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 7-9?Alien parasites come out of the dark every 400 years, this time hosted by two unsuspecting American tourists in Ireland. When the tourists (two high school teachers) return to the States and begin teaching, the parasites move on to juicier fare?high school students. When it comes to horror, Peel is no Christopher Pike or R.L. Stine. Poor grammar ("there were a whole mess of people") and sloppy writing ("...it had self-destructed or something") abound in this silly book, making it a poor choice for reluctant readers. The misleading title sounds like serial-killer material, not nasty parasites killing imaginative teens in their sleep.?Ann Cook, Winter Park Public Library,
