Synopsis:
Lights... camera... murder...
Kody Frasier always swore she’d come back to 99 Fear Street. She knows the spirit of her dead sister, Cally, is trapped there, waiting to be set free. Now Kody is starring in a movie about the evil that murdered Cally, set in the very house that destroyed their family. If she can just find Cally, can help her…
But Cally doesn’t want to be saved. She’s been waiting all this time for revenge. And once the movie camera is rolling, Cally is going to give Kody the surprise ending of a lifetime!
This is the final book in the trilogy! At the end of the first book, Kody promised she would come back for her sister, and she did.... Along with a whole film crew. Yup. they’re filming Cally and Kody’s story where it actually happened. And Kody is the lead actress playing her sister. This was very weird. Why not just play herself?
But I guess she finally got what she wanted? In book one she was incredibly jealous of her sister to the point where it made me dislike her. But in this book I actually didn’t hate her. But anyway, I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to film in this house after everything that happened. Why would you do that? Why?! Also, the fact that when Kody experiences weird things in the house and none of the crew believe her, why? You’re there for a reason, aren’t you? She told you what happened in the house and know your making a movie about it? Why is it so hard to believe that these things are happening again? That was very frustrating.
There were some pretty cool scenes where the filming and the FX stuff would be mixed with real horror stuff... and you just never knew what you were gonna get, so that was fun. Lol.
Things about the house aren’t explicitly explained. We do get some hints here and there and we do, I guess, finally find out why Cally suddenly turned evil when she died. There was also a really weird revelation about the people who helped out around the house in all three books and I’m really confused? Just- why? It was kind of dumb. Overall, I thought this was a pretty average series with some pretty average characters.
Fear Street connection: Kody’s come back to her old house on 99 Fear Street 😬
