This sub-set of "Fear Street" was actually one of the few arcs that surprised and/or freaked me out (really only the "Historicals"/Fear family Sagas chilled me...for some reason Stine could think of a thousand and one ways to kill a person in olden times in terrifying ways) and despite having not read the first (or third) one in years I still had a decent enough working knowledge to muddle through this one unconfused.There's a few things to remember when you're reading a Fear Street novel so you can actually enjoy them:The Idiot Quota is pretty high in Shadyside: Doesn't matter how many times the residents (new and old) are told NOT to do something, they'll do it. Because all those stories about Fear Street and the Fears could NEVER happen to them surely.Death or Injury by Fear is a legitimate insurance claim: Otherwise I can't see how the rest of the world hasn't come down like a ton of bricks on the "small town" of Shadyside for the ridiculous number of highly suspicious or improbable deaths of teens.Love is deadly so don't look for anything more then angst: Its very likely at least one of the participants is dead, cursed, the villain or has a previous/current significant other/stalker who won't let go and will kill to keep them. People don't trust the "Fears"...until they see the attractive ones: Mostly an ongoing problem in the "historicals" since the Fears bred an insane amount of highly attractive people despite folk in their family dying by the dozens each week. But the blinders seem to be on everyone's eyes if the bad guy is attractive in some manner.This book has a twist at the end that I completely forgot, which is good because once you know it you'll see all the obvious clues of it and that ruins some of the suspense in the book.
