Birthday Party Demon by Wendy Dalrymple
5.0
Looking for a fun, campy horror story drenched in '90s nostalgia? Look no further! Birthday Party Demon by Wendy Dalrymple, the debut novel in the Totally Freaked series, is a delightful throwback that captures the essence of the decade. From video rental stores and Delia's magazines packed with trendy fashion to beepers and those iconic clear plastic phones every teenage girl had in their room, this book is a treasure trove of '90s vibes.
If you grew up devouring R.L. Stine books or love movies like Ghostbusters and The Craft, you're in for a treat. This story had me audibly gasping and reminiscing as I asked my husband, "Do you remember this from the '90s?" - and he was treated to enthusiastic play-by-play retellings because I just couldn’t contain my excitement. From the first page to the last, this book was an absolute blast from the past. I’m totally here for this series and can’t wait to see what comes next!
