The Lost Girl: A Fear Street Novel
by R.L. Stine
Thank you to Netgalley for an audiobook copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars
I never read Goosebumps/R.L. Stine as a kid because I was way too much of a scaredy cat. This was my first Fear Street book and I enjoyed it. It was a little bit confusing at first because I had read the synopsis and the synopsis had totally different characters than a good chunk of the beginning of the book, so I thought I was reading a different book at first.
Once I figured out the timeline, both plots were intriguing (even though the past timeline was not a big part of the book). It was easy to figure out who the new girl was, but I think that was kind of implied. It was still a very creepy and scary story. Angel being someone Lizzy knew from her old school and being presumed dead after getting hit by a snowmobile but vanishing minutes later, like yikes! Him coming back and hurting all of Michael's friends, calling and sending him scary text messages just had me on the edge of my seat.
I guessed what the kind of "big reveal" was early on in the book but it didn't really take away from anything.
For a short book, the average R.L. Stine book, it was a complete story, it was all the spooky and creepy and I can't wait to read more of these books!
