Synopsis: Nightmare weekend.Nothing can ruin Tina River’s big weekend at Patterson College with her boyfriend, Josh Martin. She’s so excited, she doesn’t even mind that her cousin, Holly, will be tagging along.But when Tina and Holly arrive, Josh is gone. His roommate, Christopher Roberts, says Josh is stuck in the mountains, delayed by car trouble. That’s weird—Josh never mentioned he was going away.It gets even weirder when Holly suddenly disappears. But Christopher isn’t worried—about Holly or Josh. Christopher seems to have the answer to everything. Tina is confused. But one thing is clear—she’s about to learn more about love and murder than she ever wanted to know.
Given her boyfriend Josh is missing, supposedly delayed by “car troubles,” you’d think Tina would be worried. But nooo, instead she’s snuggling up to Josh’s roommate Chris! Dude, seriously? Chris was seriously creepy. He knew so much about Tina that it was uncomfortable. But Tina was not the smartest girl in the beginning. A lot of Fear Street characters aren’t smart, to be fair 😆
But at least Tina got smart toward the end! She saw the danger of the situation she was in and actually tried to do something to get out of it! I loved that!
Overall, it was an okay read. The main character was kinda dumb, but I appreciated that her brain cells were firing when it really counted 😂 And I’m not gonna lie, the book was creepy because it had a creepy dude 😰 So at least there’s that. Lol.
The Fear Street connection: Apparently there’s a Fear Street carnival? It was mentioned. As was Fear Lake. Dalby’s was mentioned too! As in the department store owned by Reva Dalby’s father from Silent Night!
