* {{Antivillain}}: Mary Blanc in ''Monster''. She murders two people with a shotgun and intended to kill more at a party. Mary does this because she knew that the three in question were transforming into inhuman monsters that devour human flesh, and had already killed a small group of people before the book began. Crosses into IdiotBall territory when you realize Mary could've just waited until they were alone instead of killing them in front of dozens of witnesses.

** ''Literature/ChainLetter'': [[spoiler:Neal]] fakes their death via The Caretaker to throw the others off the scent.

* ClingyMacGuffin: In the ''Literature/ChainLetter'' books, the titular chain letter. Once the letter is sent to you and you are on the list, the only way to free yourself from eternally being commanded to perform tasks (each task progressively becoming more malicious and difficult) is death.

* ''Literature/Witch1990''
* ''Literature/ChainLetter''

* BrotherSisterIncest: Shari's [[spoiler:adopted]] brother and [[spoiler:the villain]] in ''Remember Me''. In [[spoiler:Amanda]]'s defense, the fact she and her brother did not grow up together would have overridden the aversion to incest which would normally have developed. Even so, she still knew him, was close to him, and pursued the relationship even after she learned of the incest, not to mention the whole disturbing IfICantHaveYou, TogetherInDeath plot she pursues, so the {{Squick}} remains. Also an example of SurpriseIncest on the part of Shari's brother.

* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: Shari's dream about her brother and the balloon in ''Remember Me''. Which, naturally, she doesn't find out [[PropheticFallacy what it really means]] until the moment it becomes relevant.

* ShadowArchetype: Literally, with Shari and the Shadow in ''Remember Me''. Also a rare example where, despite the initial fear and horror, it turns out to be a positive thing and there is a merger.

* SwitchedAtBirth: [[spoiler:Happened with Shari and the villain of ''Remember Me''.]]

* WhodunnitToMe: In ''Remember Me'', Shari begins the novel already dead. She was killed at a party, and being a ghost she must figure out which one of her friends killed her.

* AlphaBitch: Lena Carlton in ''Weekend'', though she turns out to be a LovableAlphaBitch.

* BigDamnHeroes: Bert in ''Weekend'', [[spoiler: after everyone thinks he was killed in the garage explosion. He just got caught in a riptide and, once he made his way back to shore, got lost.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: In ''Weekend'' there's [[spoiler:Angie and Kerry who both resent the Carlton sisters a great deal. Angie tried to humiliate Robin at school because she wanted Park, while Kerry stupidly (and drunkenly) considered poisoning Lena on a moment of impulse. However, she later deliberately fucked with Robin's dialysis machine to make everyone think Lena was trying to kill Robin.]]

* GoneHorriblyWrong: ''Weekend''. [[spoiler:The poisoned beer. The culprit put the poison in a glass impulsively during a moment of anger, and when she was walked in on, poured in beer to disguise the smell. Had the other someone not picked up the poisoned beer when the "culprit" had her back turned, she more than likely would have disposed of the poison safely. And the person who drank the beer wasn't even the person she'd been thinking of poisoning.]]
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler: Lena]] from Weekend. She starts out seeming like a FemmeFatale and is even widely suspected of poisoning her sister [[spoiler: it turns out she cares deeply for her sister and is wracked with guilt over not being able to do anything to help her, and the whole weekend trip was deliberately set up as a sort of SecretTestOfCharacter to find out who really did the poisoning. Unfortunately, she and the rest end up caught in a GambitPileup when Bert shows up..]]

* HappilyAdopted: The Carlton sisters in ''Weekend'' know they're both adopted and come from different biological parents, but neither cares about that fact and are as close as any blood siblings.

* IllGirl:
** Robin in ''Weekend'' has been suffering from kidney failure ever since she ingested insect poison thinking it was beer (having never tasted beer before) and requires a transplant. [[spoiler: She gets better when she receives a kidney from her biological brother.]]
** Ilonka, Anya and Sandra in ''The Midnight Club''. [[spoiler: Ilonka and Anya die, Ilonka from her cancer and Anya when she's smothered (at her request) by Spence. Sandra survives because it turns out her doctor made a critical error in her diagnosis and her disease isn't terminal.]]

** Mitch in ''The Lost Mind''. He's Jennifer's BastardBoyfriend, as well as a chronic gambler who uses Jen to cover his debts with about as much compassion as a rock. When he comes to Jen's house to get the money he needs to pay off a loan shark, his next move is to strip completely naked and sprawl himself out on her bed, thinking some quick sex will help her relax after Crystal's death is made public. Jen is... less than pleased.

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: The finfinalsl fate of [[spoiler: Paige (and possibly Tem)]] in ''The Starlight Crystal''.

* NotSoDifferent: Ilonka and Kathy in ''The Midnight Club''. Ilonka desperately wants to believe she can beat her cancer, while Kathy acts as though Kevin will get better and leave the hospice. [[spoiler:Both girls get a much needed reality check. Ilonka bitterly tells Kathy that Kevin's going to die, driving Kathy away, and Ilonka is then informed her cancer's left her with only a few weeks to live.]]
