My Review:
3/10
This book takes readers back to the birth of Fear Street. I liked how it was very dark and graphic. But the trilogy did start with a mother and daughter being accused of witchcraft, so they were burned at the stake. It is a story inside a story which was super boring. The girl is writing the story of three books in one night! I also didn’t like the fact that there were three different parts in the book that takes place overtime, for example when it says “Wickenham 1666” then it goes to somewhere else in 1725. The characters were very confusing, and the only way I could read the book was with the girl giving me a preview of what each part had in store.
OVERALL: I feel as though this book is not necessary to the series because the series is supposed to stand alone each book with a common theme.
Reason for rating: The reason I gave this a 3/10 was because It was very graphic and I like to be scared.
Also Note: This book is for ages 15 and up, I think. It is very intense and graphic and young kids wouldn't be able to understand.
