This is really good. Surprisingly intense family horror story. That climax was wild! I'm surprised many of these Fear Street books haven't been adapted into TV movies, at least.

Hard to believe, being the avid reader that I am, that I had never read a book by R.L. Stine until I picked up this one. I have to say, I really enjoyed my time reading The Stepsister. Now I want to binge the entire Fear Street Series and all of the Goosebumps books.

This was one of the first Fear Street books I read, as well as one of the first R.L. Stine books. This book will keep you guessing and you absolutely can relate to the characters.

I read this book in high school but I had completely forgotten most of the plot.
I actually really like this book! It was exciting enough to keep me on my toes, and it really kept ramping up. The ending twist is my favorite in the Fear Street series so far.
