Synopsis: Now the terror begins...

Everyone knows the story of the Evil. The Evil that terrorized Corky Corcoran and the cheerleaders of Shadyside High. The evil that destroyed Sarah Fear one hundred years ago.

Everyone thinks they know the story.

But the true story has remained hidden. Only Sarah Fear knows where the Evil began. What it wants. And why it kills.

Read Sarah’s story... and discover the truth at last.

My rating: ★★★☆☆

Having read The Evil Lives!, I sort of already knew where this story was headed. This was a little more in depth retelling of the story we got from the last Cheerleaders book. And just like that book, this one was fine.

Going in I already knew the plot twist plus how things would end, soooo... Yeah. I still don’t know how I feel about said twist. It's interesting but idk that I'm super into it? The deaths I also wasn’t super impressed with. And while I’m usually not into historical-type books, I really do love the setting in these Fear Street books. But yeah, this book was just... fine.

The Fear Street connection: Sarah married into the Fear family. Ooof.

No matter what it took, she would find a way out. Yes, even if it took her a hundred years. She would find a way...
