I wanted a quick and easy read and that is what I got. I became enthralled with the Fear Street Sagas about 3 years ago and read the first 3 books in days. I really enjoyed the story of the Fier's and the Goodes. After the first three books the quality of each book that followed varied in quality. Some are very good, some not so much, and others are just okay. Heart of the Hunter is better than Dance of Death, introducing us to more descendants of the original members introduced in the first three books. Although it lacks in the imagination department, it gains points for introducing something different to the saga. Jamie Fier gives up his "soul" for the love of the one called Whispering Wind, and in doing so he becomes a monster. As always there is a Fier or Goode hellbent on revenge for the wrong that they do to each other. Jamie is not the most likable Fier, or the most memorable but his descent into wolfdom sure is interesting. If you are a fan of the Fear Street books then I recommend this book, if not skip it.

Is it problematic? Sure. Is it silly? Also, sure.
But when I tell you I jumped at the chance to read this because of one thing: this book has haunted me since I was a child.
I have had the plot of this book, specifically the twist ending, stuck in my head for DECADES. I could remember reading it! I could remember being gobsmacked by the ending! I read it IN CHURCH as a child!! But I could not remember the author OR the title which made tracking it down nearly impossible.
But then I read the og fear street trilogy and saw this recommended and lost my mind. Sure, it's not as scary as I remember and it is very very silly but whatever, it was a quick fun read with a cool ending.
And it reminded me of the Fear Street Cheerleader books which I remembered I also devoured with a passion so brb, gonna go reread those now...
