It’s a solid collection but honestly felt a bit let down by how mostly mundane the stories are. Was hoping for more supernatural spooks.

While it took me awhile to read (in my defence I put it down and then didn't pick it up for like a couple of months) I actually really enjoyed this book. I loved the mysteries and trying to figure out who did it. While I was able to guess some parts of it, other parts were a complete surprise to me which I enjoyed.

I remember reading these books when I was in middle school and omg this was so nostalgic. The fear street series was such a big part of my younger teenage years (checked these books out from the library constantly) and I really enjoyed reading them again.

The last story, Missing, was definitely my favorite. I liked this book, but it was weird at times. The writing was very straightforward and almost felt like there were *too* many details? I don’t know. I liked how it was thriller mixed with horror, and it makes me want to watch the Fear Street movies again.
