Synopsis: Who the hell holds up a bookstore? That’s what Noah asks when his favorite spot is suddenly targeted by masked attackers.
But these people don’t want a ransom. They are searching for Bleak Haven’s very own urban legend – The Burning Book.
When something with a thirst for flesh creeps from its pages, Noah must team up with the other hostages and try to escape the mall without turning their town into a bloodbath.
Despite all the real-life killers that Bleak Haven has endured, what scares some folks most is the Burning Book. They believe bad things are hidden within its pages the kind of things that even fire cannot kill.
This book was so freaking fun! I mentioned it in my review of the last book, and I’ll mention it again, I am LOVING the modern-day Fear Street vibes! Ah! It’s SO good! Though maybe I shouldn’t say ‘modern’ for this one, as it takes place in 1987. Lol. But still! My point stands! Lol.
Two of my favorite things in Fear Street books are when we get Fear family lore and/or a supernatural twist! And we got both of those things in this book! Not the Fear Family lore 😅 But we did get Bleak Haven lore! It talked about the town's founder and a supposedly cursed book known as the Burning Book. Perhaps the reason why the town feels cursed and so many tragedies happen? 👀 I loved this SO much! And the supernatural twist? Even better! You guys know I love anything supernatural (even the TV show 😆)!
Another thing I loved was that it took place mostly in a day. And that it took place mostly in one location! I love these sort of stories where characters are stuck in a place! And to make things even better: the place in this book was bookstore 🤩
As for the characters we follow, it’s actually a bunch of teens who are part of the generation when the Lullaby Man was hitting cradles 😬
And now they’re dealing with another monster. Oof. I loved this though! It was so good! We got a bunch of Bleak Haven lore and I freaking love it! And while it’s set in ‘87, to me it didn’t really feel like it took place in the 80s, but I honestly didn’t really care because I enjoyed so many other aspects of the book. Lol. This is quickly becoming a favorite horror series of mine! I cannot wait to read the rest of the series and see what other horrors Bleak Haven has to offer.

We may have outlived the Lullaby Man, but that doesn't mean we avoided every monster.
