Don't Stay Up Late: A Fear Street Novel by R.L. Stine

2.0

I think I lost a serious amount of brain cells just now….

All I could think of while reading this was “IS IT OVER YET?”
Don’t get me wrong there were some okay parts, we had one gruesome killing and a fluffy cat appearance but thats about it. At the beginning of the book our main character’s dog runs away, NOT ONCE did she went out to look for him WTF? who does that? You bet your grandmas dentures I would be out all day and night if one of my beloved fur children goes missing. (After this scene it all went downhill)

All of the characters were annoying and unlikeable, granted they were high schoolers but still! They felt flat and one dimensional. Our main character was not only bitchy, rude and bratty but she also kept making one big mistake after another and I am supposed to feel bad for her? HOW?! The love interest was pointless and just plain unnecessary if not even cringy at times. The relationships between her and her friends made me question why didn’t she just find new ones? The big reveal is dumb, it doesn’t tie up with certain events therefore filling out the story with a bunch of plot holes. You get the picture….Everything in this book was just so dumb and predictable.
