The Surprise Party by R.L. Stine
3.0
Plot: Evan died a year ago within the horrible Fear Street woods. After Evan died, Ellen moved away leaving the rest of the friends to go their own ways.
Meg finds out Ellen is coming back for a visit and decides she wants to throw a surprise party for her.
When someone who didn't want that plan to take place catches wind of the party, Meg begins to receive threatening phone calls and has multiple brushes with death until the crazy conclusion to the story.
Writing Style: R.L. Stine is known for being an amazing author. He's a staple in everyone's personal collection so I think his writing speaks for itself.
There are a few passages that display the way the murderer is feeling as well as their racing thoughts that give you a sense of how they're feeling on the inside about the murder and the choices they're still making in the aftermath of it.
Characters: The main character is Meg who I think is a little air-headed if I do say so myself, but you can't expect much out of 80s teens. ;) Everything was so much simpler and no one felt unsafe like we do in today's society.
There are times when you see the murderer's point of view which I really enjoyed, it was super creepy to me to hear the racing thoughts and them trying to talk themselves down.
All of the secondary characters had their own well-developed personalities and everyone seemed a little suspicious one way or another so I had no idea who the murderer really was until the ending!
