Synopsis: When you can't sleep, there's always NIGHTS.
The Night People are safe at last. After all the ugly pranks and vicious murders, things have finally returned to normal. The friends who are left are trying to forget and move on, taking comfort by meeting up late-night at their old hang out, Nights.
It was the ancient spirit of Angelica Fear that caused all the trouble. And now she's been destroyed once and for all. Burned in a fire.
But if it's true that the horror is dead, what did Angelica mean when her voice cried out from the flames?
...The Evil Lives!
Jamie and Dana thought they defeated Angelica Fear in the last book, but that may not be the case after all.
"Angelica, are you here?" I whispered. "Are you here?"
In this book, we’re back to Jamie’s POV. We initially followed her at the beginning of the first book when she and her boyfriend fell into a hole at Fear Mansion, where soon after bad things started happening to her and her friends. Turns out it was Angelica back from the dead and taking revenge on these kids for looting her house. But Angelica may not be as gone as Jamie thought because her friends and kids around just keep having accident after terrible accident.
And these accidents were one of my favorite things about this book, and series in general! R.L. Stine just knows how to write good, gory death scenes. The ones in this book were particularly horrific and I loved it!
I also really liked that the series followed one group of characters, but switched POVs between them in each book. I didn't like the characters though. They were terrible! But that’s pretty on par for Fear Street books. Lol. But I liked this overall! I loved the Fear family lore and the curses and all that. Plus I loved that we got an actual Fear in this series—that was great! This was a solid 3-star series—not the best series in the Fear Street Chronicles, but also not the worst.
The Fear Street connection: The kids hang out in a bar, Nights, that was built right where the Fear Mansion used to be.
