I decided to read this franchise on a whim. I started when I was 18 and now I am going on 20. I can truly understand why this series is held so closely to peoples hearts. The characters are enjoyable and the story line never bored me.
Everything about this book was near perfect. I do have a few complaints.
1. I wish Severus Snape didn't die. His death felt unneeded and overall made me really sad, especially when learning all he did for Harry.
2. I wish Dumbledore had been a better character. Dumbledore was always that character that you could trust on saving the day, I understood Harry couldn't have been told every detail but I feel like he withheld far too much for far too long.

After seeing the hype around Fear Street (the trilogy) I decided to buy a book from the franchise.While it has sat on my shelf for well over two years now, I enjoyed the book. I finally read it today and I was not disappointed. The book was fast paced, short, and kept my attention. The twist towards the end was kind of expected (then again I am 19) but enjoyable nonetheless. I would have to read more from the series to truly determine if this was a good introduction into the series or not.
A sad take on romance. Easy to get into. This was a my first real romance book and it held up to it's name. I could tell the feelings were real between the two main characters. The whole forbidden romance was sweet. Overall, I think anyone who is into romance should read it.
I watched Silver Bullet (the movie based off this book) first and knew that I needed to read the book. Silver Bullet is one of my all time favorite horror movies and I was immediately drawn to the book. It was amazing. The cut to each month was well done. Everything was greatly detailed. 5/5 book I would recommend to anyone willing to read it. Not too scary either. Just a real good read.
This book will change how you view the movies forever. The movie has NOTHING on the book. It shocked me seeing just how different Bella was. Bella was funny and had so much more character to her. Edward was also funny and obviously struggled to convey his love for Bella as a safe distance. Bella was a lot closer to the others girls at school than she was in the movies.
The book was a train ride honestly. A good one though. Edward and Bella’s relationship was so satisfying to watch. They both loved each other so much. They were both honest with each other and let the other know how they were feeling in the moment. They both were able to read the other like a book. They just work so well together.
Charlie and Alice were for sure my favorites. Alice was sweet and caring while Charlie just tried so hard to be there for Bella whilst trying to keep himself afloat.
The Cullens were amazing too. We didn’t get to learn much about them in the beginning but when we did, I had so much fun learning about their stories. Hearing how they were turned and seeing Rosalie have a hard time trusting Bella just added so much more to them as characters. Emmett and Jasper gave such big brother vibes to Bella. Alice was like a little sister almost. Esme was the mother figure she didn’t have in Forks. While Carlisle was the caring man who changed just how vampires could act and behave.
Overall, this book is rightfully famous. The writing style wasn’t complicated. The romance was easy to watch and made my heart flutter at times. The characters made you want to root for them. It was perfect.

A wonderful way to start the year. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. Such a fun look into a murder mystery. The characters were really enjoyable and I couldn’t help rooting for Pip and Ravi. I love the diversity amongst the main cast. You never see Indian main characters and I love that we finally do. I loved being able to help solve the murder even though I wasn’t right most of the time. I was right about Becca’s boyfriend covering things up for her because she killed her sister out of jealousy thought! I would really recommend to anyone who enjoys a good YA book!
This series has so much potential in my opinion. The first book was golden. Perfect. An amazing mix of murder, mystery, romance, and the late 2010's magic. This book was just okay. It lacked what made the book so good. The mystery. It seemed unfulfilled when it was over, as though there was one final mysterious detail Pip was missing. But as I got closer to the very last page, I got sadder. Finding out that Stanley had such a double life with no prior details was annoying and felt rushed. Seeing Pip solve the murder with really no struggle after having only solved one murder before was also slightly annoying. Pip is made out to be this genius that is able to take any detail and solve it's missing piece but it just didn't seem real.
The town sucks, the killers suck, Stanley sucks, and the justice system sucks.
I haven't heard many good reviews on the next books so that scares me. I'll have to read this to see for myself but I can only hope that it's more like the previous book (the first).
I have a suspicious feeling that Pip's humanity will be tried a lot in the next book(s). I just hope that the author doesn't try to feed into shock factor and just writes a book that is similar to the first book and has an enjoyable mystery to solve.
