Fear Street Super Thriller: Nightmares: (2 Books in 1: The Dead Boyfriend; Give Me a K-I-L-L) by R.L. Stine
dark
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
3.75
the dead boyfriend was horrible. i tried to give in to it and let the story make me curious, but it never happened. the ending of actually killed me. i would give that a 0.25 rating and the only reason for it not being a zero is because i hate girls named any variation of caitlyn/kailyn.
as for give me a k-i-l-l, that portion of this 2-in-1 had me on the end of my seat!! i try to read a little of a book everyday due to me being a college student, but i kept wanting to come back to read this story. the suspense with everything involved was great. however, when it comes to reading r.l stine, his endings are horrible. for that, i feel like this deserved a 3.5!

it all just being a book and her being FAMOUS off of this horrible bookas for give me a k-i-l-l, that portion of this 2-in-1 had me on the end of my seat!! i try to read a little of a book everyday due to me being a college student, but i kept wanting to come back to read this story. the suspense with everything involved was great. however, when it comes to reading r.l stine, his endings are horrible.

to make the story because gretchen is imagining this out of trauma and try to trick the reader to go against gretchen was sort of weak sauce and so was the dead best friend coming back. he needs to retire that ending since it is every story of his now like come up with something new and not these cheap jumpscare attempts.Graphic: Death
Moderate: Bullying, Child death, and Body shaming
