Party Games was an amazing read and the relationship between the characters we're incredible. I didn't see an actual break in happening during a freak one. it was a great plot twist! definitely would recommend reading this!

Don't Stay Up Late was an even better read! I loved Nate's and Lisa's relationship because it was cutesy and lovey dove which is the kind of love I love to read about.

SPOILER!!!

I was upset that she turned in Nate. He had a change of heart and she threw him in the fire. Harry was adorable up u til I realized he was the demon she kept seeing and the fact that her doctor, who should have been helping her, used her to her advantage is really messed up. I really wish she didn't turn Nate in because he did try to protect her and love her. He just didn't know what to do.

I remember reading Fear Street books as a kid. This one didn't disappoint. Oh the nostalgia.

This is the 3rd book in the series. It reads like a stand alone book though I’m reading them in order. I started reading for spook Halloween book. This book does have some graphic violent scenes. The story takes place in different time periods with a 70 year time span! Did not see the plot twist at the end! Great read for October.

Should have buried it deeper.

The Lost Girl was everything I wanted it to be and more. I was hooked from page one. I forgot how gruesome R.L. Stine's writing was as I haven't read anything by him in a long time. The first murder scene was very intense; I wasn't expecting it to be that graphic in a YA book. I thought it really lived up to the 'Fear Street' name. I loved the split timelines. I wish there would have been more of the story set in the 1950s but I wasn't disappointed by that. The twist at the ending wasn't something I expected. I normally get an idea about the ending, but not here. I can't wait until my son is old enough to read R.L. Stine's work. I'm sure he will love his books as much as I do. 5/5

I received this from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. My thoughts are my own.

Can You Keep A Secret? is another excellent read from the Fear Street Relaunch. From page one I was immersed in the story. I was kept on my toes with every twist and turn. I'm not normally a fan of twists around every corner but, as always, R.L. Stine pulls it off. I'm a big scaredy-cat and need to learn not to read these books right before bed.

Emma's confusion really added to the story. She even had me second guessing what was going to happen during the book. R.L. Stine is one of the only male authors I know that can pinpoint teenage girls when writing a book; He really has that down. The ending wasn't what I expected, but I loved it. This book just shows that you're never too old for R.L. Stine. I take any chance I can to read his books when they come out. Yet again, I was lucky enough to snatch up an ARC. I haven't read many books by him, but The Fear Street relaunch has been fantastic. I'm missing two of the relaunch books(1&2), but I read 'The Lost Girl' a few months ago. If you're an R.L. Stine fan, you won't want to miss them. I'm sad I didn't start reading them sooner.

I agreed to read this book in exchange of an honest review.

Really good book. Love R.L. Stine as much as Stephen King.

This book brought me back to my childhood and teen years. It's new but it was done in classic Fear Street fashion. I was obsessed with Fear Street growing up! It's like reading a campy B rated movie. Fantastic!
