Synopsis: Dawn and Jan never liked science class. But when they stumble across a formula that brings the dead back to life, it becomes their favorite subject. Jan came up with the formula. She was just fooling around—she didn't expect anything to happen. But now the formula is bringing things back to life. A frog. A dog. A human being. And they're coming back evil.

My rating: ★★★☆☆

As soon as we were introduced to our two main characters I knew I wasn’t going to like them. One was sneaking around behind her boyfriend’s back, and both of them were just terrible humans who found bullying entertaining. But the point was to dislike them, which made the classic R.L. Stine ending that much better!


This was not my favorite of the New Fear Street series, but I still did enjoy it, especially that ending! The main characters were just terrible, and for a minute there I thought they were going to have some character development... but nope. So I’m glad they got the ending they did. Lol. I also enjoyed the supernatural element of bringing things back from the dead. That’s always fun... to read about 😆 But overall, this was a pretty solid series in the Fear Street chronicles! I liked it!


The Fear Street connection: This guy Carl lives there and had a party. They also went to Fear Lake.
