I gotta say that I really enjoyed this one. Read it in a couple of hours because I had to know how the evil started. This series started out so good, and then, at times, the books were so bad. But
"The Awakening Evil" is one of the better books of the Fear Street Saga series. Although the book is predictable and the main character is incredibly naive, she is a formidable foe to the big bad and sacrifices her life to protect those she cares about. That takes some strength. I also love the Cheeleaders series and love finding out where the Evil of began. So this book is #10 in the fear Street sagas and a prequel/origin story of the Fear Street Cheerleaders books.

Fear Street #115
"I am Sarah Burns and I am going to marry Thomas Fear"
Sarah is excited about her upcoming marriage, but a little uneasy as well. She has never met the man. The marriage was arranged and the journey to Shadyside long enough that her elderly grandmother, her only family, can't come to the wedding. Thomas is handsome and wealthy and charming, but it's not long before Sarah begins to hear the stories surrounding his family.
'The Awakening Evil' promises to reveal the truth behind the Evil that has taken so many Cheerleader lives. And it does. It also fills in a lot of gaps surrounding the brief origin story and flashbacks we've received in earlier 'Cheerleader' books about Sarah Fear's battle with the Evil. My main issue is why the hell don't we get a scene with Simon and Angelica. I mean, come on! They're all in Shadyside. It's 1898, so it's before the Mansion burns, and it would have been so easy. Instead, it seems like the writer's and editors forgot about that little detail until the last minute and a throwaway line about Thomas' spooky grandparents is put in.
That's a detail that probably will only bother me. The interesting thing about the Evil is that it has little or nothing to do with the Fear Family Curse that, theoretically is why no birds sing in the Fear Street Woods and we have so many murderous young teenagers underfoot in Shadyside,
In the end, this is still a worthier 'Sagas' book than most because it does concern the central Fear family and is the third and last of the 16-book series to be set in Shadyside.
Up next, we truly have the end of an era: the final "official" Super Chiller and "Cheerleaders" title.

Only Sarah Fear knows where the Evil came from & why. In this book, we finally learn why the Evil was with Sarah in her grave.
This is the story of how Sarah came to be in Shadyside. On the day she arrives Sarah Burns marries Thomas Fear & begins a new time in her life. Only to have this time threatened by the Evil that is lurking just arpund the corner.

This one was different than I had expected it to be, but it was still about the same old formula that I'm used to in these. Powering my way through this series!
