You May Now Kill the Bride by R.L. Stine

168 reviews for:

SO MUCH happens in the first 12 chapters of this book. Granted, it's all really pulpy and ridiculous. But it was fun and it's not like I picked up a Fear Street book for its stunning contributions to the literary canon. And then everything just kind of stops. It feels like nothing happens throughout the whole middle part of the book, aside from some The Shining references. But it was still overall a fun and quick read.

Great read.

This was a great read and I loved revisiting Fear Street. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Loved how it connected the past series with the present time. Amazing job.

Thank you R.L. Stine for another great Fear Street book.

Talk about horrible siblings.

I honestly dont know how someone can do that to their sister.

Well, back to the story. I really loved this story and how it played out. For once I wasnt left with 'much' unanswered questions-only from the time travel left me questioning some things but beside that I liked how everything went.

I may even like the Return to Fear Street more than the original Fear Street(okay, not really. it holds a place in my heart). But it sure did improve.

I wanted more with the 2 sisters in the beginning in 1924. I couldnt fully connect with them or care what happened when it did but I do wish we had more development on that story part.
The mystery part of the story had me reading until I got to the end. I really wanted to know what happened to Marissa and how everything is connected. I wasnt dissappointed.

I will be continuing the series and looking forward to the other stories. The Fears never lets you down when it comes to their story.

“Fear Street: You May Now Kill the Bride” was a fun read that kept me guessing and wanting to turn page after page. I don’t normally read books like this, but was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this.

Not sure if it's the book or me this time. It was okay and kept my interest for the majority of the book, but it just wasn't as scary as I remember Fear Street books to be. It still felt nostalgic and I am interested in the second book, but it just didn't hit me like the old ones did when I was a kid. I mean, [b:The First Evil|107928|The First Evil (Fear Street Cheerleaders, #1)|R.L.

Haha. Teenagers being murdered, confused parent's that don't really do anything, and cliffhanger endings to chapters that turn out to be misunderstandings. All in all, this book was pretty fun to read.
