A bit disappointing considering how strong this trilogy started out - but not terrible. I feel like the more obscure Nights trilogy in the FS franchise ends up being decent/mildly good overall. It's just that books 2 and 3 drag the story a bit, not living up to its potential, and just retreads a lot of the same ground and tropes we've seen in past FS books.

R.L Stine is also one of the authors I like to read. It's not really scary but has endings that make you think and reflect back about the story. His storys have a type of ending you wouldn't expect till the very last chapter. And when it's a series of to be continued, it makes you want to jump into the next story once you finish the first one. It's about this couple which ends up landing in the graves of Simon and Angelica Fear, which is rumored to have powers in the past. They end up taking over the couple's body. In the second book, Angelica took over the girl's body and in the third book, Simon took over the guy's body. And a lot of unexpected bad things happen...

The last one in the trilogy. It might have been my least favorite, but there was definitely something more sinister to it and I can appreciate that!
Much love to R.L. Stine and Fear Street! May the nightmare continue!

My four star rating is not just for this book but as a whole of the entire Fear Street Nights trilogy.
We get this book from the point of view of Jamie and of the evil we are dealing with.
It isn't hard to figure out that since they tore down the Fear family mansion that graves were disturbed. This time not of victims but of Angelica and Simon Fear themselves.
Jamie was unlucky to be taken over by Angelica and forced to kill her friends but it's a good thing her cousin Dana was able to free her from the woman's evil spirit and send Angelica to her rightful place.
Too bad Simon hitched a ride with Lewis and he doesn't appreciate his home being disrespected...
It's pretty clear cut from the beginning of the trilogy who is behind everything bad that happens to the Night People. There's only a few of the original members left so you are left wondering if any of them will be lucky to survive to the very end.
The ones that don't receive horrible deaths still one of Stine's good points in finding awful ways for the teens to die. I have stated that most of the characters seem like awful people so I guess the ones that stand out are Lewis and Jamie. Possessed by the infamous Fears aside, they clearly don't remember the diabolical things they did and they love each other.
Dana Fear had potential to be a nice person but by the end she does one thing and...my respect for her kind of fizzles.
The ending is a little half hearted. Epic battle against Shadyside's greatest evil by a strong female character to save her friends, family and the boy she loves. She saves the day...and nobody else but her remembers thanks to magic being involved.
Oh well just another day in Shadyside with a biting quip to finish the story.
It may not be the most popular of the Fear Street trilogies but maybe it's because some people have yet to read it. All three books are pretty solid and I enjoyed reading them.
Check out Fear Street Nights if you get a chance.

A very good ending to the trilogy.
The first one was my favourite because it was a lead up to the carnage of the second one and this finale was trashy but a really good kind of trashy.
On my other Goodreads account which I can't access anymore for I don't know why, I rated Moonlight Secrets 5 stars and Midnight Games 4 stars. If I could rate this 4 and a half stars I would but I'll have to settle for 4.

Jamie and Dana thought they defeated Angelica Fear in the last book, but that may not be the case after all.
In this book, we’re back to Jamie’s POV. We initially followed her at the beginning of the first book when she and her boyfriend fell into a hole at Fear Mansion, where soon after bad things started happening to her and her friends. Turns out it was Angelica back from the dead and taking revenge on these kids for looting her house. But Angelica may not be as gone as Jamie thought because her friends and kids around just keep having accident after terrible accident.
And these accidents were one of my favorite things about this book, and series in general! R.L. Stine just knows how to write good, gory death scenes. The ones in this book were particularly horrific and I loved it!
I also really liked that the series followed one group of characters, but switched POVs between them in each book. I didn't like the characters though. They were terrible! But that’s pretty on par for Fear Street books. Lol. But I liked this overall! I loved the Fear family lore and the curses and all that. Plus I loved that we got an actual Fear in this series—that was great! This was a solid 3-star series—not the best series in the Fear Street Chronicles, but also not the worst.
The Fear Street connection: The kids hang out in a bar, Nights, that was built right where the Fear Mansion used to be.

Snippet: Despite having more deaths, this was probably the weakest in the trilogy. The whole story could have been a lot different if Jamie and Dana had explained everything to the other Night People from the start after the events of the last book, and at least three deaths may have been avoided! It may have even been more interesting to have the teens being hopelessly murdered while trying to stop the evil together.
I didn’t mind Jamie as a protagonist, but I’m struggling to understand why she thought it was up to her and her alone to banish the evil? She wasn’t that bright to begin with so I don’t see why she wouldn’t want everyone else’s help with it...

This is the conclusion to Fear Street Nights. Where we return to the evil origin.
Imagine thinking you have destroyed the evil
Imagine thinking its all over
However
The evil has not been destroyed. Simon Fear is back wanting revenge.
Everyone who looted his home is not safe.
The only way to fight back is use the spell book.

Probably the least interesting book in this 3-part series. After how fun and fast the 2nd book was I was super pumped to read this one but pretty quickly I realised it was much like the 1st book, basic. Sorry but basic bitches not wanted!!
October 1, 2023
Cheers for Fear Street Nights! Finally, we know who is behind the bizarre events. Too bad it ends in another cliffhanger!
November 9, 2023
Not bad, i just felt like it's a bit repetitive. It also reminded me of the Cheerleader series when the spirits materialized as green fogs.
Jamie's pretty cool to learn those spells in such a short amount of time.

An average read.
The part where a new Angela is to be made could've been exploited a bit to scare the reader.

It has the usual RL Stine thrill and end of chapter suspense and there were some gruesome and bloody scenes. Except the plot was not good, it was too predictable even for a teenager who read it.

As I finish this particular trilogy from the Fear Street series, I find I have a desire to completely bang my head against a wall. I’m not sure what happened, but continuity was thrown completely out the window this time around. For those of you reading this, I would highly suggest forever ignoring this trilogy and forewarning you I will not hold back on any spoilers.
One, in Moonlight Games a group of teenagers decide to sneak out night after night. One night, they uncover a hidden room in the burned down Fear mansion and proceed to loot everything in the room. It ranged from old sheet music to jewelry and even some old spell books. Seems like a teen thing to do, right? Well, part way through the book, it skips to the next school year (during October) and the current narrator, Nate, is introduced to his friend’s new girlfriend, Nikki, who I might add, goes to another school. By the end of the book, she’s wearing a necklace she said she found in the hidden room. Thus, leaving me thinking, “How were you there? We didn’t even know you until almost a year later!” Skip ahead to this book and she’s on the list of kids who looted from that room. So if she was there, how did Nate, who was also there, not know her?
Two, in all three books, Angelica Fear’s amulet becomes kind of a big deal and at one point or another, someone is trying to find it, steal it or worrying about who has it. Apparently it was buried with her and Simon on the Fear property. This would be fine, except there are those pesky Fear Street Sagas which clearly put it in the hands of other fears decades after the Fears perished in that fire. Did her corpse one day magically summon it? Because I’m fairly certain no one is going to dig up an unmarked, unknown grave to return it. If no one knew the grave was there and someone else had the amulet years later (aka 1920’s), how did it wind up in her skeletal hands.
And might I point out, that it wasn’t her amulet. It was the Fear amulet and though she was a practicing witch, she was not a Fear by blood, only marriage.
Third, since when does every dead person from this series turn into pea soup green fog? This was first introduced in the Fear Street Cheerleader books and was known as “The Evil.” In truth, it was the spirit of a vengeful spirit named Sarah, who swapped places/lives with her best friend. So while her friend pretended to be Sarah and was married to a Fear, the real Sarah had the misfortune of being aboard a ship that sank. Angered that her destiny was stolen from her, she vows revenge on her friend and possesses her.
I bring this up because Angelica Fear is found to have been possessing Jaime in Midnight Secrets and Simon Fear is found possessing her boyfriend, Lewis. These are the two kids that originally founded the Night People and were searching for ghosts when they fell into Angelica’s and Simon’s grave. It seems, these two also possess the ability to turn into the pea soup green fog and inhabit anyone or anything they want. This seems like a cop out as it was already down with another evil spirit.
Over all, I’m sad to see this trilogy was ever deemed as part of the Fear Street series. Though they may not be great works of fiction, they were an entertaining part of my childhood that prepared me to read more adult books. Perhaps it was the timing of their publication that can account for all of the mistakes. But still. I would heed a warning to any Fear Street fan who might be considering reading these books.

The last book in this series, and while I am disappointed in the ending, that was also the only thing that I didn't particularly like.
This book focusses on Jamie again. After her ordeal in the previous books she is back, though plagued with fear and dreams. I really like Jamie, though I wish she would have been more honest with her friends. I am sure they will forgive you if you tell them that you did things while under the influence of something bad. They are your friends.
Once again, murders happen. Just as gruesome as they were in the previous books. R.L. Stine sure loves gore. :) I felt sorry for those who passed away in this book. Sorry, no spoilers, you will just have to read the book.
The whole twist with *insert name*? I saw it coming. I was already wondering when it would be mentioned/when it would be shown. It is kind of disappointing it took up to book 3 for it to come out. It felt a bit last minute, while I think it would have been perfect had we had more hints in the previous book.
Once again, I had a problem with the whole drinking things. These are kids, underage, yet drinking themselves to oblivion. Like I said in my previous review, I don't mind some drinking, I can imagine kids are curious or want to try out stuff, but drinking until you can't walk? Drinking until you don't even know what is happening? No.
The ending was typical R.L. Stine style. Which is a shame, I had expected something grander to happen, and I was a bit disappointed that even in this series we get a typical ending. :\
But all in all, I really liked this series. And I would recommend them, though be warned, the murders are a bit gory.

Review on Darkest Dawn
By R.L. Stine
This book is an amazing book that thrills yourself to keep reading more. This book started out with some kids who like to spend time together. The kids murdered Simon Fear and Angelica Fear. The Fear manison was torn down as well. The Fear Mansion is pretty scary. The main character, Jamie; the big sister of her little brother Danny, was investigating why people at her school had been murdered. One by one, nearly all of her friends had died. It finally reached to exactly six Night People. In the beginning, Jamie kind of felled in love with Lewis. But, little did she knew that Lewis was not Lewis. She began investigating and finally more murders and fire at the school emerged. Jamie was so worried about Lewis during the fire. Jamie is a girl who knows a bit much by studying spells to help save her friends. Jamie by the end was confronted by Lewis, and that was where she finds out that Lewis was not Lewis. Lewis was actually Simon Fear. Simon Fear took the body of a bird and Lewis. Simon Fear had murdered some of Jamie's friends. Even though Simon Fear thought he finally had put Jamie into his total control, Jamie had a few spells up her sleeve. Eventually, Simon died and his spirit and the Fear Mansion is GONE! Things things went back to normal. I would recommend this book to everyone who likes R.L. Stine Fear Street books so much.

Darkest Dawn by, R.L. Stine is one of the lesser-known but intriguing titles from the Fear Street series. While it doesn't have the widespread recognition like "The Babysitter" or "Silent Night", it still carries that signature Stine blend of teen horror, suspense, and psychological twists.
The book is moody and eerie, with a strong sense of dread building as the mystery unravels. Stine is great at creating a setting that feels both familiar and unsettling. Like many Fear Street novels, Darkest Dawn is a fast read, with short chapters and cliffhangers that keep you flipping pages. It’s a fun mix of suspense and teen drama.
R.L. Stine doesn’t shy away from misdirection. Just when you think you know what’s going on, he flips it. The twists in Darkest Dawn feel more mature than some of his earlier works.
As with many books in the series, the characters aren’t deeply developed. They're more archetypal—enough to move the plot along but not necessarily people you get emotionally attached to.
The ending didn't deliver to my need. I would have love to seen the aftermath of what they had went through, especially Jamie.
Darkest Dawn delivers what you'd expect from a Fear Street novel—teenage characters caught in a deadly game, secrets lurking beneath the surface, and a satisfying (if sometimes melodramatic) horror payoff. It’s a good read for fans of ‘90s-style YA horror or anyone looking to revisit the feeling of reading under the covers with a flashlight.

November 7, 2014This book was about a group of kids that sneak out into this bar where the Fear Mansion once stood. After this incident at the school Shadyside High, Jamie was with her cousin Dana. In the car on the road, they pulled over and Dana explained what Angelica Fear was after them one by one. In towards the end of the book, it was now escalating downward to the point that this group is going down one by one. At the end of the book, Jamie finds herself in the Fear Mansion. She finally found out that inside the body of Lewis, was Simon Fear, Angelica's husband. Then to that point, Jamie learned some spells on how to get rid of these evil ghosts. Then they were gone. The horror was over, and her friends and Lewis went on and had a better life of luck.
I really like this book a lot, because of all of the terror these kids went through, and how interesting it was. I also liked this book because R.L. Stine is one of my favorite all time authors with the Goosebumps series, and with all of his Fear Street series.

Another book written by R.L.Stine called Darkest Dawn. It talks about a group of friends who are always gathering outside at night. They are trying to forget the accident, the accident that the spirit of Angelica Fear killed their friends. However, Jaime still believes that Angelica is haunting her because accidents have been happening to her friends who has participate in the accident before.
When I was reading this book, I was really eager to find who is behind all these accidents. I liked how the author uses detailed descriptions to demonstrate the mood of the characters. Also, the tone of the book is scary, but somewhat gives a mysterious feeling. He also gives hints about the person that is behind the truth, but I was still surprised by the ending.

I think that the book was interesting. It was a short read and kept you entertained and guessing while reading it. Every time you finish a chapter you want to hurry up and read the next one because you are eager to see what happens next. The best part of the book was the ending action. The reason it was the best is because you did not know what was going to happen. The bad thing about the book is that some parts are unrealistic. All in all I recommend this book to others if they want a quick and entertaining book.

I don't remember what happened in this book but I rated it 2 stars when I posted the book up. I guess I thought the plot was okay. The thing with R.L. Stine's books is that he uses a really interesting writing style. He keeps his chapters short but really intense. He uses a lot of suspense words. Sometimes it makes me nervous while reading fear street books. I think I'm getting really bord of Fear Street books because all the plots are similar.
