WHAT DID I JUST SUBJECT MYSELF TO.

OH GOD.

OK.

Let's do this.

Worst. Fear Street. Ever. There's over 150 books in the series and off shoots. So that's saying something. ( )

I received a copy of this book free from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Please see my full review available October at www.coffeeandtrainspotting.wordpress.com. ( )

I've been an R. L. Stine fan for many years so I was thrilled when I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. It's been years since I last read one. However, this book brought back a nostalgia of reading his books when I was younger. I dived right into this novel and let it suck me into the crazy plot. I devoured this book in 2 days. In Stine fashion this book delivers suspense, thrill, plot twists and an unexpected ending. ( )

I read this book in two sittings. I am a sucker for R.L. Stine. It just reminds me of my child hood. You never saw me without one of his books. I had trouble putting the book down the first night. I wanted to know what was going to happen. When I started it the second night I already had an idea what was going to happen in the book, and I was right. This book was OK, but I feel like it lacked a little bit of R.L. Stine-ness. Will always read his books, but this one was a bit disappointing. ( )

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

It was really fun revisiting R.L Stine's work. I loved his and Christopher Pike's books when I was growing up, and I couldn't resist the chance to check out a brand new R. L. Stine read.

There were some genuinely scary moments in this book, that had me officially creeped out. There were also some well-played twists scattered throughout.

Unfortunately, I feel like this book didn't have the charm for me Stine's books did when I was younger. I might have liked this book a lot more if I had read it back when I first discovered Stine and Pike.

The plot really didn't make much sense, even in the horror world Stine created. The characters read as pretty one-dimensional, and their motivations weren't that believable.

The twist at the end would have been very cool if it had been set up properly, but it came out of nowhere--and then the final twist on the last page didn't fit at all with what we had just been told. The ending felt rushed, as if Stine had a really cool idea right before the final draft was due, and just wanted to hurry up and get there.

I wanted to love this book so much. But, at least for me, it didn't live up to what I had hoped for. ( )
