Synopsis: Having fled her dorm room, college freshman Hope hides out in an abandoned sorority house on campus where she discovers that the evil she is trying to escape has become a part of her.

My rating: ★★☆☆☆

So, in the last book we found out that Hope had DID, or a split personality disorder. In this book we see when/why she developed these other personalities, aka her supposed roommates. Her mother was just so terrible to her! It was awful! And we also find out when Darryl, her other personality, appeared.

In the last book we had multiple POV with Hope and her other personalities, and in this book it’s like that again. I didn’t really understand why as we already knew it was one person. It wasn’t as interesting or exciting. This book in general wasn’t that interesting. Hope was just going around in circles! Nothing was happening! I mean, Darryl kept killing people, but that’s it! There was no moving forward to accomplish anything! The book kept mentioning stories about the dorm... Ghosts, howls, etc. THAT'S what I want to read about! That would’ve been more intriguing!

Sigh. This book was a nothing book. It was so uninteresting. And the ending was unsatisfactory. I’ll give Hope this: at least she stood up to Darryl. But this was just not good. What a way to finish off this series. It’s definitely not one of my favorite books in the overall Fear Street series.

The Fear Street connection: Fear Hall is named after Duncan Fear, who made some donations to the college.
