Rating: 3.5/5This is the third book in the Cheerleaders saga in which Corky and her friends have to face for one final(?) time the evil spirit. But this time there is no teling who is under its control and when the truth comes out Corky would have to take some very grave decisions in order to get rid of the spirit once and for all.This book was a great, creepy and fast read. I loved how the first part kept me guessing who the evil spirit was this time. We also get to learn more about the life and death of Sarah Fear the original evil spirit. It was great to see the girls tryign to stay alive for one more time. Corky fighting to get rid of the spirit and struggling to take control of her life. Even the spirit of Bobbi, her dead sister, showed up to help her. Now if only I had the next book. It's really hard to find a copy of the fourth book for some reason, but I will. I am dying to find out what the evil spirit is up to next.
The first half of this book is a weak follow up to the previous two in the series. However, the last half does the series justice.(view spoiler)[ Having Corky be the vessel of The Evil was a great plot twist. It was great to be able to see what The Evil was thinking. I thought it was a little stupid that Corky didn't tell anyone after she realized it was in her, but I guess the later plot threads wouldn't have worked otherwise. I was also a little disappointed that no one died in this entry to the famous Fear Street Cheerleaders series. (hide spoiler)]
What do You think about The Third Evil (1992)?
After the evil spirit leaves Kimmy's body, Corky gets a note saying that the spirit is still around. She needs to find out who the spirit is in and kill it for good. I like how the series ended. I knew she wasnt going to die obviously because she makes appearances in some of the books published after this series.

Corky and all her friends go to this cheer-leading camp and then bad things happen. Corky knows its the evil but she doesn't know who the evil has controlled. She keeps thinking its Kimmy but her gut is telling her otherwise. Then she finds out it was never Kimmy who did all those bad things.... It was Corky! The evil was in her! She just doesn't know how to get rid of the evil... for good. But then she remembered a long time ago Sarah Fear found a way to kill it of or at least make it go to the grave with her. Corky finds a way to get into the evils memory and she finds out how. She has to kill herself in order for the evil to die. I think this book was really good because showed that you need to have courage and you need to be brave. So what its a horror book I can still get morals from it right?
