The Lost Girl: A Fear Street Novel by R.L. Stine

3.0

---

2 1/2 stars. I devoured Fear Street books as a teenager but unfortunately, as an adult, they don't hold the same magic for me. Stine's writing has improved over time but this story was still extremely predictable and lacked a lot of substance. There are some very graphic and gory scenes that were unexpected as the Fear Street books of the 90s were much tamer. The ending had a twist that I didn't expect but was similar to something I read in another Stine book. Overall, I'm glad I read this but I'm sad to see these books I once loved so much lose their luster.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
