Synopsis: Now the terror continues...

Everyone at Shadyside High remembers when Corky Corcoran destroyed the evil spirit. The evil that attacked the cheerleaders. The evil that killed Sarah Fear one hundred years ago.

No one expected the evil to come back. No one knew that there was only one way to defeat it forever. No one knew that the answer lay hidden in Sarah Fear’s grave.

Now the cheerleaders must discover the secret…before it’s too late.

My rating: ★★★☆☆

I was so excited to read this because in this book we finally find out the origin of the Ancient Evil. But idk, it was a little disappointing. And not only because Corky and the rest of her squad weren't in this book.

Synopsis: Vampires are stalking the small resort town of Sandy Hollow. Billy knows it; his girlfriend was one of the victims last summer. Now Billy is back - and he wants revenge.

His friends don't believe him. But nobody can explain the bodies found on the beach - with two puncture holes in the neck. Or the swarm of bats that appear each night.

The undead are here, and Billy's going to beat them.

Or join them.

My rating: ★★★☆☆

The first book in this duology was so much fun, so I was really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, it was not as great as Goodnight Kiss.

Synopsis: Matt, his girlfriend April, and best friend Todd look forward to a summer of sun and fun at the beach. But as dark shadows flutter over the sand, they soon find themselves plunged into a horrifying world of endless night.

The twin puncture wounds on their throats give Matt a clue. The menacing bats hovering over the beach offer another.

April has been lured away by the kisses of another boy - strange, intoxicating kisses that leave her weak, hungering for more. The kisses of a vampire.

Can Matt rescue April in time? Only he realizes that her next goodnight kiss may be her last.

My rating: ★★★★★

This book was so much fun! Which surprised me because I'm not super into vampires anymore. But I was pleasantly surprised!

Synopsis:

She wasn’t just crying wolf...

Danielle Verona can’t believe the band picked her to be their new lead singer. She’s on the road, performing at all the hot clubs. The adoring fans, the bright lights—it’s a dream come true!

But when nighttime falls, Danielle can feel the terror in the darkness. There’s eerie howling outside her window. And then a band member is killed—ripped to shreds by a wild animal. Danielle knows something is out there, lurking in the moonlight. Something savage...and hungry.

My rating: ★★★☆☆

Night time is the right time for terror!

Danielle is in a band, touring and singing with them, but she keeps having these awful “fantasies” of horrible deaths and stuff. She says fantasies, I say hallucinations. Lol. But at least she admits she needs help with her mental health issues. There were no stereotypes in this book about that and I really loved it. Needing help is not something you should be ashamed of. Anyway, Danielle just graduated from high school and her aunt, who she lives with now after her parents died in a car accident, actually encouraged her to get into this band stuff before she went off to college. You know, just a year off of fun before you settle down and focus on your studies. It’s usually the opposite of what parents want their kids to do, but I thought it was pretty cool.

Synopsis:

Roses are red, corpses are blue. On Valentine’s Day, you’ll die too!

There’s someone out there, someone who kills on Valentine’s Day. Josie and Melissa are scared—especially when they receive threatening valentines. Then the murders begin. Who is sending these horrible valentines to the girls of Shadyside High? And who will be the next to die?

My rating: ★★★★☆

Valentine's Day can be killer.

Melissa and the McClains (Josie, Rachel, and Erica) live right across the street from each other and that is how they became friends. But things change after Rachel’s accident. Josie basically becomes Reva from Silent Night. She seriously rivaled her at times. But in the end Josie, wasn’t as cruel as Reva, so I’ll give her that. But that definitely doesn’t excuse how she treated Erica and Melissa. She was so inconsiderate, especially toward her younger sister Erica.

Synopsis:

Ring in the new fear.

P.J. wasn’t supposed to die. It was just a practical joke, no big deal. But P.J. had a bad heart...

The kids at Reenie’s Christmas party couldn’t tell the police what they’d done, so they hid the body... and then it disappeared.

Now someone is killing them, one by one. Someone is taking P.J.’s revenge... but who?

By midnight they’ll know. Because when the clock chimes, they’ll all get a kiss. The kiss of death.

My rating: ★★★★☆

When midnight strikes... they all die.

Reenie and her friends love pulling pranks on each other—these stupid games where they try to scare the crap out of each other by pretending to be dead.

Maybe we should stop playing this game, Reenie thought. Maybe we should stop right now—tonight—before someone goes too far.

My rating: ★★★★★

Jingle bells... Santa kills!

Oh Reva... you’d think that after what happened in the last book—the awful scares, her own cousin turning against her, almost getting killed—Reva would’ve learned her lesson and at least try to be a better person, just like she had promised. But did she?

Synopsis:

Cari Taylor and her three friends are looking forward to a “party summer,” working at The Howling Wolf Inn, an old hotel on a tiny island off Cape Cod. But to their dismay, the hotel is completely deserted, and someone warns them to leave immediately.

But the mysterious owner, Simon Fear III, allows Cari and her friends to stay, giving them the run of the hotel. The four teenagers are thrilled...until Simon Fear is murdered. Cari and her horrified friends want out—but they can’t escape! They’re trapped on the island. And that’s when the “party” begins...

My rating: ★★★★☆

There's no vacation from the terrors of Fear Street!

I really, really liked Party Summer! My favorite part about this was that there were actual Fears in this book! I mean, our main character, Cari, lives on Fear Street, but we get Simon Fear III, great nephew of THE Simon Fear!
