Fear Street # 48
Danielle Verona has been selected to be the other lead singer in a hot new rock band. They don't have a name, but as soon as they find one that Mary Beth likes, they WILL. Danielle and her little brother Cliff have been raised by their Aunt Margaret ever since their parents died three years before. Aunt Margaret supports Danielle's decision to take a gap year after graduating to tour with the band.
The band has gigs lined up all summer, or, maybe, I don't know, only three, with weeks in-between them, but they're gonna be big! Danielle's only issue is that the other lead singer Dee Waters seems really bent out of shape that the band hired another singer for some reason. Every one else seems pretty cool, there's Joey, your typical perve, friendly Caroline and the intense Mary Beth. There's also Kit Kragen, the dedicated roadie. The band members are all around 18-19, their manager, Billy Dark, is only 20 and described as the oldest member of the group. With such seasoned leadership, what could go wrong?
Danielle is still traumatized from the death of her parents, she wasn't present but the accident was awful, and often has violent fantasies. It doesn't help when one of the band members comes to a grizzly end after their first show at the Rocket Club. Is there some kind of connection with Danielle's violent fantasies?
Well, duh. But you're along for the ride anyway. I had high hopes for this because of that sweet cover. The book was unfortunately a bit of a dud, but it gets points for the most calculating and evil villains yet in the series. Evil had a PLAN this time.

I remember having this in my backpack in middle school and loving their outfits so much. Nostalgia overload.

"We're going to die, Danielle thought. We're all going to die!
“We're going to die!” she screamed aloud."
I know you have a word count RL, but come on.
