The New Year's Party by R.L. Stine

colorfulleo92's review

4.0

It's a new year and I wanted something fun to read for it. The new year's party was just that. It was a short spooky read with an interesting twist. It wasn't great by any means, but these books are a lot of scary fun

Personally, I don't think this needed to be a "Super Chiller". The first half of the book was just them all pulling stupid pranks on each other and nothing interesting or scary happened until chapter 16. I suppose the stuff in 1965 was marginally interesting but in my personal opinion, this book would have benefitted from being much shorter and trimming out half of the 1995 kids' hijinx.

The scares and decent were though as was the plot twist. I just wish it didn't take so long to get there.

I read a lot of Fear Street when I was younger, so I could instantly tell the twist about P.J. and Liz. I had a feeling Ty was the boy they ran over but I didn't know for sure until the end. This is a great, quick read!

2/5 stars. I think I have officially retired from reading these, although I did it for fun.

This one was very predictable, and not really enjoyable. There really isn't much more to say.
