1. The best part about this book is the cover. I have a tendency to pick books up off the shelf at a bookstore based purely on the cover, and this was one of them. I was drawn to it. The story wasn't worth it though. It was a disappointment. Everything was cookie cutter, including the ending. I could have predicted what happened. This book came out on the tail feathers of Twilight with the hope that those that were reading the teenage vampire books would buy it, I don't recommend it.



2. I normally try to find the positive in books when I write reviews, even if I don't like them. This is the first time that I'm unable to do that. This pile of bile was such a total and complete waste of my time that I was actually really, really angry after I finished reading it. I kept hoping that it would redeem itself, but no. I just wasted a bunch of time. The characters are totally undeveloped, there are more plot holes than can be believed, and the ending is absolutely ridiculous. A middle schooler could have written a more believable ending because, basically, the evil guy just decides to walk away for no apparent reason. And then the story ends. Yes, really. And the heroine, Quincie, is a high schooler, but somehow she never seems to be without a drink in her hand. Way to go, Cynthia Leitich Smith. That's a great example to set for teenagers. The rest of the story is just ridiculous, too. Stay far far farrrrr away from this one.



3. Waste of money. Soooo boring. I couldn't finish it. Tried to put it on Swap a Book. Nobody wants it.



4. Most of the reviews on this book are negative, but I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't the most spectacular book I've ever read, but like most, the cover and summary caught my eye. I actually think the second half was better than the first. There's romance and vampires and werewolves.
   
   In my opinion, it was better than Twilight. Just sayin'.
   
   I'd recommend it for sure.



5. I thought this book was one of the worst young adult fantasies I've read in a while. I read a lot of fantasy novels in both adult and young adult fiction and thought that this was a very elementary take on the popular vampire novels we are seeing lately. I thought the plot was simple and predictable. The main character wasn't developed enough for me and I found her hard to relate to. I also think that the romantic part of the plot was underdeveloped and uninteresting. I wasn't really pulled into the relationships the author was trying to develope. I would not recommend this book to anyone even if you enjoy young adult vampire novels. I was incredibly disappointed.

5 comments about In the Forests of the Night (Den of Shadows).

1. This is the first book that I have read from Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, and overall I think she is a great writer. This book is a YA book. However the dialog the character projects is actually more mature. There wasn't any drama, that you get from a YA book. The main character may have been a teenager, but the author presented her as an adult. So it was very interesting to detect all of the differences between this book and the other YA books I have read from this genre. I will say this, however, the vocab in the book is not as advanced as some othe novels, but the author was very young when she wrote it, and you probably would be too wrapped up in the story to care. I was. So overall I give this book a well earned 4 stars.



2. First of let me say how basis i am because i love amelia at-water rhodes books shes one the the first authors i read when i was a teenager and i still read her books till this day and im an adult now! This book was a little different it switchs between the main characters past and present time, at first it gets confusing but once u get the hang of it u start understanding how it works! I liked the book a lot but didnt love it! But cant really say much she was only 13 when she wrote it! Sadly the book is short but i enjoyed my read! It would be a good start off book to someone in their early teens! i recomend the books because it just keeps getting better.



3. I have always loved this book. I have re-read it several times over the years since I bought it when I was in high school. I've had it for probably about 8 years or so. Reading is kind of hard for me and I love that I can read this book in a day and it keeps my attention.



4. I first picked this book up when I was in Middle School and loved it. I recently re-read "In The Forests of The Night" just to see how it has held up over time. Now that I'm an adult, does this book still manage to entertain me? Well, yes, it does. I still found the story of the 300-year-old vampire Risika and the events leading up to her fight with an old nemesis to be fascinating.
   
   Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is one of my favorite authors, either due to nostalgia or my love of vampires in general. Unfortunately, now that I'm older I notice that this book has alot of aspects about it that most people would consider flaws that I didn't notice when I was younger.
   
   First of all, the book is really short. I mean, really short. I finished it in two hours. This is bad because you keep wanting a bit more story. In some ways this is good, though, because it's not a huge time commitment to read, so you can finish it quickly and move on to doing something else if you so desire. That's one of the reasons I love her books so much (I've read plenty of long books-Anne Rice, for example-but I always enjoy shorter books more).
   
   There was another thing I noticed; this book isn't exactly fine literature. She tends to be a little lax in her amount of environmental description and the writing itself is a bit simple. Nonetheless, I enjoy her fast-paced writing style, maybe because she doesn't bog the reader down with reams of dross. I personally feel that this book deserves five stars simply because I enjoy re-reading it (this holds true for almost all her books) and any book that I actually want to re-read has earned it's value in my mind. It's not that I didn't like some other books I've read, it's just that I often don't find myself wanting to re-read them (even if they're good), but for some reason I can just keep coming back to Amelia's books and still enjoy them.
   
   So, do I recommend this book for teens? Certainly. There's enough here to entertain a younger reader, and it's about the right length for a young adult genre book. Do I recommend it for adults? Well, that depends. If you like your books to be longer and have more "adult" writing styles, then you probably wouldn't like this book. If you love vampires and quick reads, then you'll likely find this book to be well worth your time.



5. I read this book years ago when it first came out when I was still in high school. I remember at the time I really liked the book. It's small enough to read fairly quickly, it only took me 2 hours to get through it. While it had a lot of predictible parts to it, I enjoyed reading it and felt like I wanted more when I was done. A good read for teens.

5 comments about Stranger with My Face.

1. Lois Duncan is great writer who is terribly under-rated. She pulls you into the book so subtly and keeps you there, making you want to know more. The story is about a teen-aged girl who becomes haunted by someone who looks just like her. The story is in first person and begins with the protagonist-Lori-letting the audience know she was writing her story, hoping to put closure on the haunting she experienced. The storyline itself is not hard to figure out- separated twins, one good, one evil brought together by astral projection. I pretty much figured out every turn before it happened, but Lois Duncan has a way of keeping you enthralled so the predictable is still enjoyable. There were a few times I was irritated with the parents, but overall the characters are intriguing and Duncan does a fabulous job of "showing" you their personalities rather than "telling" you. Her prose is well done and adds to the lyrical quality of her writing, without being distracting. The story and characters are timeless to the point I never would have realized this was written almost 20 years ago if I had not looked for the publishing year. Scary without being gory and creepy without being disturbing, Strange With My Face is the wonderful YA suspense novel.



2. I am a huge fan of Alexz Johnson, so when I heard she was doing a movie called Stranger With My Face, I did everything I could to find out more about it. My search eventually led me here, where I bought the book and read it. It one sitting. I liked the characters, the sci fi feel without being sci fi. I didn't like some of the instances, the way Laurie's mum acted, etc. I did like the Astral Projection and the dynamic of the twin sisters. It's a book I will definitely read it again. Now I'm a little worried about the movie, as they are changing so much of it.
   
   Long story short, definitely get this book. It's a good read. :)



3. So I got this book because Alexz Johnson is going to start on the tv version of this book and as I read the summary or the book, I was intrigued. So I got it and WOW, I couldn't put it down. This was a really good book that kept me reading 'till the end. Megan, Laurie's little sister, was one of my favorite characters along with Helen and Jeff. :]



4. I read this as a teen and the story fascinated me. I decided to give this book to a wonderful young friend who likes to write stories herself. Perfect for teenagers who want a bit of darkness in their readings.



5. A Very good book. I recommend this book to anyone. Its a must read book.

5 comments about Demon in My View (Den of Shadows).

1. Demon in my View is the perfect taste of vampire, romance, darkness, and gothic. I've read many many many vampire novels in my time, and most of them seem the same. But, I do come across a few every now and then that strike me as odd, or different. This is one of those kinds of stories. It has vivid descriptions of the people and places to where you could possibly imagine that you've been there, or maybe even met one of the characters. The story line is out of this world with different rules and structures to an unknown society. The main character is buried in a mystery that, for the life of me, I would have never seen coming. I suggest this book to anyone, young and old. It's worth your time AND you won't regret it.



2. Demon in my view is an amazing book in my opinion! If you have read the first book In the forest of the night then you will understand the characters a little better..trust me i read shattered mirror and back tracked lol by the time i got to the first book i was like "OOOO i get it now"! but this book is still good i would recomend it to some people but its better for a early teen than an adult to read..still a short read but i enjoyed it!



3. "Demon in My View" is the second book by one of my favorite authors, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. Although I am arguably too old for teen books, I re-read this one recently and still found it enjoyable.
   
   The story follows Jessica, a writer of vampire novels. What she doesn't realize is that her stories are true, and they may get her into big trouble with the denizens of the night. Despite the fact that Jessica is clearly based on the author herself, I still found the story to be interesting and not to "Mary-Sue-ish". I know alot of other reviewers have complained about this problem, but it really doesn't bother me. I know it isn't realistic for characters to all be beautiful and perfect, but sometimes it's fun to read a story with dark, sexy, cool characters. It's just a bit of self-indulgent fun sometimes. Anyway, despite the fact that the last time I read this book was in Middle School (many many years ago), I still found the story to be entertaining. The dark atmosphere of Amelia's books really draws you in and keeps you glued to the pages.
   
   Another thing I'd like to mention is the references to the previous book, "In the Forests of the Night". I really enjoyed the connection to the previous story, because it helps you feel that the stories are all intertwined within the same world. There's even a short reference to Jessica in "In the Forests of the Night", which is a nice "easter egg"-type surprise for those who have read the book either before or after reading "Demon in My View".
   
   "Demon in My View" is perhaps my favorite of Amelia's books. So, I'd definitely recommend this book to teens and even adults who are fans of vampire novels.



4. I recently read this book and its predecessor "In the forests of the Night" and I absolutely loved them. "Demon in my View" was a fast paced thrilling narrative about a girl,Jessica, who is shunned by her peers due to her dark attitude and dress. Along come two new students. One, Caryn, who's annoying and bubbly who Jessica absolutely loathes and Alex, a dashing, just as dark and brooding guy. Jessica is a talented writer and has published a book Tiger, Tiger under a pen name to avoid the unnecessary attention. What she realizes though with these new students is that know more about her than any other person really. She starts to realize that the characters in her book are strikingly similar to her new real life friends and acquaintances.
   
   The whole book is a non stop race to get to the truth. For a small short book the story evolves well. Atwater-Rhodes finds such creative ways to advance her story and they sure throw you a curve ball once in a while. The characters are vivid and intriguing with a touch of passion and romance. I especially loved Jessica. Her character is so strong and passionate and it sends a great message to little girls who read these stories.



5. The concept in this book was interesting. I need to go back and read In The Forests of the Night as I think Jessica makes her initial cameo in that book and I hope you learn more about Aubrey. The story kept me going right to the end but everything seems to happen so abruptly. In the space of 176 pages you meet Jessica, learn she dreams are reality of the vampire community, meets Aubrey, falls in love and then chooses to become a vampire. The book really glosses over her reasons for being so eager to become a vampire that it is a little shocking. Considering the author wrote this at such a young age though it was a good book to read if you enjoyed The Vampire Diaries by LJ Smith and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.

5 comments about Red Is for Remembrance (Blue Is for Nightmares).

1. Five months after her boyfriend was pushed overboard and never seen again, Stacey Brown is now at university with a full scholarship. Even though she doesn't actually attend lectures, and when she does she fails tests. And forget sororities, sports and shagging - all she does is down tranquilisers, and perform spells that used to help her but don't anymore.
   
   The uni's president brought Stacey here to help his troubled teen daughter, who's having nightmares of a death not yet committed. At first Stacey tries to help Porsha for selfish reasons, but the pair makes a breakthrough to become friends, and Stacey no longer puts herself first.
   
   It's so hard to discuss this book without major spoilers, but RED IS FOR REMEMBRANCE is lovable. The entire series is fabulous, but this outing steps up with an added dimension. Some plot points may be predictable, but they're still great rides. Even though some characters are annoying, that doesn't matter.
   
   This is a series to glom. I love how the spells have ingredients, instead of just "magic". I love Stacey's awkward social graces. I love the spookiness, and the suspense. But here's the tricky part: Published in 2005, this book and its predecessors may be hard to find, though there's a boxed set you may be able to purchase. I'm now ultra-eagerly awaiting the upcoming graphic novel BLACK IS FOR BEGINNINGS. Laurie Faria Stolarz's work is so underrated, and well deserving of new fans.



2. this book is filled with intresting excitement and mystery of stacey browns nightmares and a crazy twist in a way u wouldnt belive.!
   ot has her jsual "got to help people charm in it
   with a touvj of happily ever after"



3. after the first three books of this amazing series red is for remembrance was a disappointment. i loved the first three books, heck the epilogue of book three was so amazing that this is now one of my favorite series, then i read this book.
   
   the story takes place four months or so after silver, and it starts off fairly interesting. stacy's still reeling from the events of silver and is unable to cope. however, unlike the previous three books red switches btw stacey's pov and the third person pov of some boy named shell who lives in a commune in the woods. red also takes us in the direction of stacy being a mentor to a girl, porsha, who has the same nightmare problem stacy and jacob have and has been dreaming of some boy named trevor. meanwhile shell depicts his life at the commune which is more sinister than shell was originally led to believe.
   
   honestly the story lost me at shell's pov. which i probably could have eventually gotten used to except shell's storyline was boring. the whole fanatics who live in a forest preaching against the evils of the world may in fact be evil itself has been done before, and done better. stacy's story wasn't any better. in my opinion this book would have been much better if laurie faria stolarz had just stuck with stacy's pov and worked around the restrictions of that like she has in the past, to be honest.
   
   in the end i wish laurie faria stolarz had stopped at silver, because as amazing as silver was this book not only ruined it but just gave more of the same old same old. i'll check out the next book in the series, black is for beginnings but if its anything like this book i'll probably stop following this series and just treasure the first three books.



4. The final book in the Blue is for Nightmares series by Laurie Faria Stolarz. This book was a good read and good conclusion to the series. I didn't think it was as good as the previous books though. This book didn't have nearly the suspense elements of the previous books.
   
   In this book Stacey is at college and rooming with Amber. After Jacob's death she is fighting to not succumb completely to depression, when she starts having nightmares again. The president of the university contacts her and wants her to help his daughter Porscha, who also has strange dreams about death that are driving her crazy. Stacey's dream are hinting that maybe if she can help Porscha than she can save another boy's life; why does Stacey get the feeling this all has something to do with Jacob?
   
   This was an easy read, a well-written book, and a nice conclusion to the series. That being said I was a little disappointed with the book in general. This book never had the creepiness of the previous books. In fact there weren't really many horror elements at all. There was a little mystery but not nearly to the degree of the previous books. As for the chapters alternating between Stacey and the mysterious Shell; I figured out the part that Shell would play in the story right in the beginning and was disappointed to find out I was right. I kind of felt like Stolarz was sick of writing this series and just wanted to wrap it up in the quickest way possible; and in a way that would leave her readers happy and not disgruntled.
   
   This was a fine conclusion to the series but I really felt like Stolarz didn't put much into the story; she is extraordinary at writing creepy horror scenes but she kind of skipped out on that for this book. I was just so disappointed. Should you read the book? Well you kind of have to given how "Silver is for Secrets" left us all completely hanging mid-scene. Will I read more books by Stolarz after reading this series? Probably not. Although it would be interesting for her to do a couple books about Porscha.



5. This series is amazing. The first three books were all page turners. I couldn't put them down until I was finished. However, this book is sadly lacking the caliber the other books in the series possessed. The ending was predictable from the beginning, and the outcome was bittersweet.
   
   Some people believe that after Silver is for Secrets, the series should have been over. However, the author didn't really finish the series there. An ending to Stacey Brown's story was required. The attempt to close all the doors left open, though, was unenjoyable. I give the series, overall, a 4 star rating, but this last book is definately not on the same level as the rest.

5 comments about The Wrong Number (Fear Street, No. 5).

1. Best friends Deena and Jade are having fun making prank calls. Deena's half-brother joins them and starts making threatening calls. The joke is over when murder is on the line. Now they are the ones targeted for he knows who they are.
   
   Another great novel by Stine.



2. Deena has a new phone so she and her best friend use the phone to make prank phone calls. But Chuck finds out that Deena and Jade are making phone calls. He insists that they let him join or else he'll tell. So Deena and Jade let him join. Then Chuck calls a house on Fear Street and interrupts a murder. Deena, Jade and Chuck go to the address to help the woman screaming. But it's too late because the woman is already is dead. A masked man chases the three warning them to mind their own business. One day after, the police drag Chuck to jail, now that everyone at Shadyside knows that Deena, Jade and Chuck are the ones behind the prank phone calls. The police say that someone saw Deena, Jade and Chuck that night. It was Mr. Farberson. Deena and Jade know that Farberson is wrong so they decide to find out more about him. If you want to find out more, read this book.



3. This is the one of the many books of the Fear Street series, and it's really good. Fear Street is a series about scary and/or supernatural events that happen to teenagers in a ficitional town called Shadyside. In this book, best friends Jade and Deena and Deena's half brother Chuck get into ddep trouble making crank calls. The girls got caught by Chuck teasing boys at school, and he calls a random number on Fear Street and gets begged for help by a woman about to be murdered. The characters and plot are better than the average Stine book, and this book has a decent sequal. This has a pretty good twist ending and gives a good taste of future books in the series.Pulitizer material it's not, but for young teens, or anyone wanting a quick thrilling read, this suits the bill just fine.



4. I liked this book a lot because it made me want to keep on reading to find what happened next.
   The book was about three teenagers who were having fun with prank phone calls. Then Chuck called a number on Fear Street and they got involved with a murder. When the three teenagers Jade, Deena,and Chuck go over to Fear Street, they go to house number 884. They went to the back door and it looked like someone had trashed the place. When all three of them were inside, they saw a dead body on the floor. They also saw a man in a mask. When Jade, Deena, and Chuck talked to the police, they did not believe a single word that they said. The police think that Chuck is the killer because his finger prints were the only prints in the house and he has been in trouble with the police before.
   I would recommend this book to someone who likes to read mystery and horror books. I would recommend this book to someone who likes mystery books because you never know what is going to happen next and you are trying to find out who the killer is. I would also recommend this book to someone who likes to read horror books because someone dies.



5. The most important thing I remembered about this book "The Wrong Number," was that it was super interesting and intense! Someone else would definitely want to read this book because it stays very good throughout the whole story. It really keeps you interested and wanting to read more. Any one who is any age can relate to this book. Since, it is about two teenage girls, a boy might want to read the back of the book first.
   
   My favorite section of this book is when the two girls obviously make the wrong call. They have caller i.d., and then they track down the person that made the call. After that, the girls go down the Fear Street rode and hear screams coming from the caller's house. The two girls fear for their lives as they try to catch the murderer in action. I recommend this book immensely.

5 comments about The New Girl (Fear Street, No. 1).

1. I couldn't stop reading New Girl. It was soooo great! Not knowing what the truth is about Anna is totally thrilling!! Also if you like romantic books, this is one of Stines BEST ROMANTIC BOOKS!!!!!!!!



2. This book is real suspenseful;can't put it down once you start reading it. Always wanting to know what happens next.



3. When Cory falls in love with Anna, he puts everything on hold. He skips practice and is losing sleep. Soon he learns the truth: Anna is dead. Now Cory must get to the bottom of the mystery that is Anna.
   
   A nice little story, although a bit similar to Stepsister and Blind date.



4. This is the first book of the Fear Street series, and it's really pretty good. Fear Street is a series about scary and/or supernatural events that happen to teenagers in a ficitional town called Shadyside. In this book, an athletic gymnast falls for a new girls in school. She's really cute, and different in an old fashioned kind of way. However, when he tries to find her outside of school, he gets told she doesn't exist. What's going on? Is she a ghost? Is she a liar? This has a pretty good twist ending and gives a good taste of future books in the series. Pulitizer material it's not, but for young teens, or anyone wanting a quick thrilling read, this suits the bill just fine.



5. I think it is a unique and impressive creation by R.L Stine.Stine expressing a different kind of romance,so it is really good.

5 comments about The Burning (The Fear Street Saga #3).

1. I am 24 years old and I still love Fear Street. I read this saga over 10 years ago and I started thinking about it a few months ago for some reason. I looked in book stores but it was order only, so I didn't bother. Finally my husband told me to go on Amazon and order it. After all, we would be going to the beach for Labor Day weekend and I don't like going into the water, so reading material is a must.
   
   I'm almost done with the first book, and I love it. I feel like a teen again.



2. 
   
   
   I was reading The Burning by R.L. Stine. This book was a pretty good book; out of ten I would give this book a high eight. I liked this book because of all mystery and horror combined.
   
   In this book it is told by Nora Goode, who is married to one of the Fears. In this book it is about how this guy Simon Fear goes to this party and falls in love with Angelica Goode. But Angelica has two guys that are really wealthy and smart and handsome. So Simon kills both of them and marries Angelica. Then bad luck comes back to Simon. He kills his own daughter. Now Daniel has to go for Simon's birthday.
   and mystery. They would like this because it is all mystery and horror. So read this book
   A person who would like this is a person who likes horror



3. I didn't like the ending because it could have been a better, but if he did a different ending then there wouldn't be any Fear Street books. I did like it from the beginning up to the end. I only liked the beginning because it had the mystery to it and I didn't want to put it down. I like it when I can't put it down because then it keeps me hooked. When I'm hooked the book doesn't get boring that easily
   The story is about a boy named Simon who tried to forget about and stop the family curse. But then, it finally caught up to him. It is about Simon's grandson named Daniel. Daniel didn't know about his family curse until he got to his grandparents. He fell in love with Nora Goode before he knew about the curse and he thought that if they got married it would end the curse. Will the marriage and their true love end the curse? What will happen to them in the end?
   If you didn't read The Betrayal and The Secret then you will not understand the book that well. If you like mystery, love, and not wanting to put the book down then you may like this book most of it or all of it. This book will help you understand why bad things happen to people who live on Fear Street in the Fear Street books. There is dying in this book and if you like that in a book then you may just like this book.



4. This is the 3rd book in the series. It's about a girl name Nora & a boy name Daniel want to stop the curse of the family. They think that the only way to end it forever is to get married. This book actually need 10 stars because it was better than the other 2.



5. The Burning is one of the sagas set in days of old explaining the curse that possesses Fear Street.it is an interesting read but it involves much death and is not a cheery book by any means.So I am wondering if it is really worth it.There isn't really a positive aspect or moral to it.Except, perhaps, that the Fear family's own evil is what eventually destroyed them.

5 comments about Driver's Ed.

1. This Book, Drivers Ed is a fun mysterious book to read. Once you start reading, you can't put the book down. This book pretty much has two subjects: Stealing a stop sign, and The romance between Remy Marland and Morgan Campbell.
   
   The first subject involves Morgan, Remy, and Nicholas Buddie. They Decide to steal a stop sign on a major intersection. Bad things happen after that! Thats all I'm going to tell you about that subject
   
   Next is the Romance! Remy and Morgan have secretly liked eathother, ALOT, but they didn't know that the one they like, like them back. When they went to steal the stop sigh, Remy and Morgan were acting as they were bf/gf. Later on in the book Remy doesn't like Morgan as much as she did before.
   
   This was an exiting book to read, and I hope you will read it too. If you like romance and mystery, this book is for you!



2. One mom described the book as having a storyline perfect for "an after-school special." It involves a senator's son, a girl from an unconventional household, teen love, a burned-out teacher, death, a horrible secret and facing the consequences of one's actions.
   Most of our book club members thought the characters in Driver's Ed were two dimensional, and everyone agreed that both moms in the book were unrealistically portrayed. But we had a good discussion about actions that turn out to have dire consequences even though they seem harmless when you choose to do them. And we all got a chance to talk about our current experiences, with moms weighing in on frightening times in the passenger seat and daughters talking about parents "freaking them out" and making them nervous behind the wheel. It was fun to realize that most of our stories were similar.
   I would recommend reading Driver's Ed for the discussion it prompts rather than for the book itself.



3. This book is realy good. I am about to get my license and it teaches me some stuff.



4. This review on the book Drivers ED, is on the cool events of the book. The author is Caroline B. Cooney, she has written many books such as The Face On The Milk Carton.
   The book is about a girl named Remy Marland, and her friends Nickie Buddie, Lark, and Morgan Campell. It takes place in Junior High. They have been planning a sign-stealing trip. Remy wanted the sign Morgan Road. What better than the name of the boy she had a crush on. They didn't know who did it, but some one stole a stop sign, and it would have dire consequences. It is a stunning novel and I think you should read it. Just take my word for it. It is full of suspense and mystery, read it and you will be on the edge of your seat.



5. Driver's Ed is fast paced at the beginning, when a couple teenagers steal a stop sign for fun from a busy intersection. A young woman gets in a car crash at that intersection later that night, and dies because there was no stop sign. Overwhelmed with guilt, they don't know if they should tell the authorities or keep it a secret forever. After the accident, the book becomes slow, and boring. The author only talks about the teenagers' feelings and how they deal with making the choice of admitting to the vandalism. There are also many unneeded characters in the plot, making it complicated and confusing. As it draws closer to the end, the book becomes boring and predictable. The ending is abrupt, and doesn't solve the problems that have been building up throughout the plot. I would not recommend this book to advanced readers.

5 comments about The Betrayal (Fear Street Saga Trilogy, No. 1).

1. im 24, altho i read these books when i was still the intended age.... i was going thru some old things, donating most of what was there, but i loved these books when i was young, so i wanted to read them one more time before i gave them away.... i ended up buying 3 more to add to my collection! morbid, yes! but great stories that keep you hooked, no matter what age you are. if nothing else, the historic side of things makes them that much more interesting



2. this came to me in great shape and just what i wanted. thank you



3. I highly recommend the Betrayel because it will tell you the secret about the unspeakable terror that has haunted Fear street for the last 300 years. Its about this girl name susannah goode falls in love with Edward Feir and they both want to get married. But Edwards father forbids him from seeing her so he framed susannah and her mother of being witches and burned them at the stake. William Goode , Susannah`s father , wanted revenge against the feir family so he traveled to every colony to find them. This book will tell all about two feuding who caused terror on fear street for 300 years.



4. I am 24 years old and I still love Fear Street. I read this saga over 10 years ago and I started thinking about it a few months ago for some reason. I looked in book stores but it was order only, so I didn't bother. Finally my husband told me to go on Amazon and order it. After all, we would be going to the beach for Labor Day weekend and I don't like going into the water, so reading material is a must.
   
   I'm almost done with the first book, and I love it. I feel like a teen again.



5. I really like this book because of the mystery and the betrayal and also the dark things that happen. In the book there is a example of betrayal between the two families because the Feirs light a huge fire
   at the Goodes, house and believe it or not the Goodes and the Feirs use to be friends.
   
   This book takes place in Massachusetts where two families the Goodes, and the Feirs have been in a battle for years.There had been a great fire that had taken two special people away from William Goode. One was his wife Martha Goode ,the other was Susannah Goode, his daughter. Now William seeks revenge on Matthew and his whole family.
   
   I recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery and horror books and R.L Stine books.There is a second book but I have not chosen to read it because it gets slow at the end and they talk about the same things over and over.
