Still need a couple to complete my Collector's Editions Set (a handful I've had since I was a teenager), but I getting there!

I know it may sound so silly, but with my childhood & adolescence, R.L. Stine's Goosebumps & Fear Street really helped keep me above water. It helped keep me swimming.

If I had not been such a huge "BookIt" book worm, and liking how books helped me use my imagination to temporarily escape the harsh realities that were, well...

Thank you, Sir. ✌🏼

The Fire Game

This book was okay and had okay characters. I could not get behind the whole fire game thing, but I think that’s just because I’m a rational adult. Lol. The mystery behind who was behind the fire that killed someone was interesting enough, and I had my suspicions about everyone! But I ended up guessing correctly who the culprit was before the climax even started—it was very obvious to me. The reason why they did what they did was also dumb. But overall, I enjoyed this book well enough. The characters were dumb, but I liked unraveling the mystery of the killer and their past. There were also some pretty funny parts in the book, so that’s a plus.

Night Games

Right from the start, I knew this was going to be dumb. Why? Because this book was filled with dumb pranks and terrible choices in general. Lol. I didn’t have high hopes for this book, but I was hoping it would surprise me. But it was fine. I was not expecting that supernatural twist though, and I really enjoyed that!

Truth or Dare

Truth or Dare was SO good! It had many great plot twists I did not expect at all! Who the murderer was and their motive, a twist about the murder itself, and even twistier twists surrounding the secret, the “truth,” that actually set off this person... it was insane!! Truth or Dare was suspenseful, had a great setting, and an even better mystery! This is definitely one of the best Fear Street books I have read!
