My rating: ★★★★☆
It's the middle of winter, so if you're craving some summer time fun, this book might be just for you!

Sunburn

Claudia is invited to go on vacation with some friends from a camp she went to the previous summer. Claudia thought she was going to have the time of her life, just her and her friends alone, enjoying the seaside mansion with a private beach all to themselves. Just summer fun, right? Wrong! It all starts with Claudia being left out in the sun sleeping, buried in sand... deliberately? But that’s only the first of many “accidents” to come to the girls. Is it possible that their host is trying to kill them for what happened at camp last year? Or is it the stranger they Claudia keeps running into? They don’t think so, but all these accidents... why? What’s going on?!

I loved Sunburn! The f*cking plot twist at the end of the book was amazing! This is exactly why I love Fear Street! The mystery was amazing, it was very thrilling and suspenseful, plus there was also a bit of nostalgia there ;)

When it comes to Fear Street books, they can sometimes be a bit of a hit or miss, but Sunburn is definitely one of the best ones in the series that I have read! I highly recommend this one if you’re looking for a creepy summer read! Or, you know what, just read it whenever! Who cares! It’s great!

The Dead Lifeguard

Lindsay is back at North Beach Country Club for another year of lifeguarding. But someone is killing off the lifeguards—is it one of them? And weird things are happening to Lindsey on top of this. Is the place haunted? Are there ghosts here? Is she the ghost?! OMG!

So there were two sort of mysteries going on at the same time, that may or may not actually be connected. This first is obviously the murder mystery, and the second is the weird things that are happening to Lindsey, which I can’t go into too much because of spoilers. But what I can say is that I found all this very intriguing! I would’ve never guessed the outcomes and I really liked that! You know how much I like being surprised by the reveals! At first, I was kind of iffy about the Lindsay reveal, but the more I read about it, the more I was okay with it. It was insane, but interesting!

Overall, a really enjoyable, fun read!

One Evil Summer

Amanda and her family are off on vacation to Seahaven, leaving behind their home on Fear Street for the summer. But the Fear Street curse follows you around no matter where you go. And unfortunately for Amanda, not everything will be sun and games for her because, first, she has to go to summer school! Second, apparently Amanda is so irresponsible that he parents have decided to hire a nanny for her younger siblings. Enter Chrissy. Charming, helpful, evil, fun Chrissy. Oh, did I mention evil? Amanda certainly thinks so. But her parents don’t believe that sweet Chrissy actually has an underlying evil plan. So Amanda sets out to prove her theory, before Chrissy decides to do something really sinister, like IDK kill someone!

I absolutely loved One Evil Summer! It was super suspenseful and things were just insane when Chrissy was around! This book actually had a little bit of a supernatural touch to it, which I loved! It just made things that much more crazy and interesting!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book! I loved all the craziness, and of course, the creepiness and suspense these books always bring!
