A decent, if derivative and predictable, Fear Street book. If you've read any number of YA thrillers it's likely you've seen this type of story before:
Some irresponsible teens are involved in an accidental murder, vow to keep it a secret, and are then stalked and picked off by a mysterious killer.
While this story doesn't do anything too creative or refreshing, it's a short and sweet YA thriller - about average for the series.

[Just A Ginger · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don't have a problem with the idea of the book, I have a problem with dumb characters.


I do want to read the entire Fear Street series but sometimes it is hard to get through the way these 'teenagers' act.

I guess people under pressure, or people afraid do weird things. So I can't judge to harshly.

I thought Natalie Erickson was kind of a dick. Ironically my nephew has that same last name. ANYWAYS she was a dick, her boyfriend got a little drunk got a bit ridiculous, not in a mean way or a grabby or forceful way but he just became a goofy idiot drunk.



Two nights ago my bf and I went out to a Muddy 13, and after to the bar, he got super drunk & it was adorable. I took care of him the whole time, I drove him home safely & everything went great.

MORAL of the story you don't freakin leave your bf drunk to DRIVE HOME. This effin idiot says SHE is the smart one for driving home with friends instead of getting into the car with that drunk jerk. Did you forget about him? That drunk jerk is about to DRIVE HOME because you didn't just grab him and say 'hey, let's go with these guys, we can get your car later' you know? Like WTF.



Clearly. I hoped she would die, because she's an idiot. And it's all her fault. If she would have just kept her boyfriend safe, he would have never killed the woman. This would have never happened. I don't care how young you are, you know not to drink and drive, and you know not to let your friends drink and drive. It ain't rocket science.

THAN the next idiot shows up, her friend that is driving them all home. She can't see anything, so she decides to go slow, slow being 50. She was just going 60 when she can't see anything in front of her because of the fog, so she SLOWS down to 50. Have you ever driven in really thick rain or fog or snow? You drive like a freakin grandma. You don't drive slow enough for someone behind you to hit you incase they don't see you and are going fast, but you don't go 50 in it either.



After the incident happens, half of them want to go to the police, and half of them don't. It's a struggle, but they are terrified of getting in trouble. I'd take getting in trouble over trying to hide this any day. One of the characters even said "Every time the phone rings. Every time someone comes to the door I'll think it's the police" "We'll live in constant fear" And that is so true. If you break the law, and do something like that, the cops usually find the person who-dun-it.

Did you think we were done with the idiot characters? Oh no, no we aren't.

Todd, what a great freakin guy. He is such a great guy that he says the most wonderfully sexist bullshit.

"Girls don't hunt," Todd told her, "Girls stay home and wait for the men to bring home food."

Literally all I can say about Todd....


When the murders start, they are interesting, but I didn't care. The problem with most of these books are the characters who are flat, or annoying, or downright idiots who I want to be killed. I pray to the psychos of these books 'please, just kill them, kill them all'.

But the mysteries are usually good, and usually you always point fingers at the wrong person.

So the big reveal definitely took me off guard, for some reason I didn't see it coming, although I should have. It was Keith, he was drunk, he drove home, he killed her. He didn't want to get caught so he killed everyone who was going to tell on him. I thought it was rude, you can't just go around killing your friends and attempting to kill your girlfriend, it isn't nice.

Overall it was a fast paced interesting read, but the idiot characters brought this to a two star for me.

"Friday night Talia Blanton's parents were away, so Talia threw a party."

So it's a typical party of Shadyside High seniors being crashed by a few uninvited guests but Natalie Erickson is having an okay time, there with her boyfriend Keith Parker.

Her friends Gillian Rose, Carlo Bennett and Todd Davis are there as well as her best friend Randee Morgenthau milling about. We learn from Natalie that she writes poetry, Keith loves salt, we learn how Gillian set them up to dating and that Gillian is a hot redhead whom Carlo would like to be more than friends with.

Soon the music gets louder and Keith goes off to find the guys who brought the beer. Natalie does not like Keith drinking because he acts stupid and giggles and this is cemented when Keith stumbles down the stairs, wasted after winning a beer drinking contest upstairs.

He then proceeds to race into the bathroom and blow chunks, embarrassing Natalie to the point where she pretends not to know Keith. So when Keith mentions he's ready to go, Natalie says she won't ride with him being so messed up so she's smart but you really need to focus on trying to help Keith with his problem, Nat.

In all seriousness...don't drink and drive or ride with anyone intoxicated. PLEASE.

Natalie grabs a ride with Randee and the others, leaving Keith at the party as he comes after her saying he's not drunk. The ride home doesn't go the way Natalie planned. It is a wet, foggy night and Randee may have been drinking a little bit as well and when she makes a wrong turn down a dead-end street instead of Todd's...they slam into a car parked with someone inside of it breaking a taillight.

Randee freaks out and drives off. Seems Randee is supposed to be grounded and doesn't want to get caught and all of the others have excuses not to go back and only Natalie feels something is a little off.

The next morning, Natalie receives a call from Todd with bad news. His father works for the mayor in public relations and learns that the mayor's sister was killed last night...in a hit and run accident on the same dead end street.

The five of them meet up in the park and decide that they must keep this a secret: Randee could go to jail, Todd's father could lose his job, Carlo's dad is already sick in the hospital and not even Keith can know what they did. Soon, the secret begins to eat at some where they want to go to the police and confess...then the murders begin...

The tension begins to grow higher and soon Natalie wonders if all of them will take this secret...to the grave?

It is so very hard not to spoil Dead End for anyone who has yet to read it. You get a few red herrings as to who is behind the killings and threats and think you have the culprit pegged but you get a twist toward the end and even a swerve in the middle. When I first read this book, I was shocked and blown away at the very first bittersweet ending I had encountered in this series.

Two of the kills are some of the most gruesome I had ever read in the series and I watch horror films...a lot.

The other character death is one that makes that ending...downright depressing.

[Buchstapler · Rating 2 out of 5]

Das war ganz ok. Teilweise war es mir zu unlogisch. Wenn immer diejenigen sterben, die sagen, dass sie zur Polizei gehen werden. Was macht man dann? Genau: Erstmal allen erzählen, dass man jetzt auch zur Polizei gehen wird. Statt einfach zur Polizei zu gehen xD Naja, ansonsten war es auch sehr vorhersehbar und von Anfang an eigt. klar wem da welche Rolle zu Teil wird.

Started last night. Finished today during Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon! Wow, it felt weird to step back into an R. L. Stine book as a functioning (though maybe not fully) adult!! The writing is not great. The material is definitely dated, this was published in 1995, when I was 9, but the thrill of a Stine book was still there.

[Matthew MacIntyre · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is another book I’ve had since it came out that I never read. I’m kinda upset about that because I really liked this book. One of my favorite things in these books are when old characters are mentioned and in the first two pages four precious characters are. Thalia from the thrill club, Corky from the cheerleaders, Janie from the New Boy and lastly Ricky Schorr all the way from the Overnight and Halloween Party!! Love it! We follow Natalie and her friends Randee, Todd, Carlo, Gillian and bf Keith. The main plot of the book is the group minus Keith get hit a car on a Dead End and leave the scene only to find out the woman in the car died. They make a pact not to tell (kinda like the movie I know what you did last summer). But paranoia ensues and murder starts to happen. I thought this was a fun read woth obvious red herrings and the “twist” ending and outcome was predictable. But for a fear street book I enjoyed this one.

[kylajaclyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one was just all right. But it was better than Bad Dreams, the last one I read, so there's that.

However, Dead End is a rip-off, more or less, of I Know What You Did Last Summer. The twist is not the same, but the fact that they all spend the whole book making each other swear that they won't say anything about a car accident is more than a little similar.

The book opens at a party. We have Natalie, the protagonist, her best friend, Randee, their friends Carlo and Gillian, Todd, and Natalie's boyfriend, Keith. Natalie doesn't really know why she's best friends with Randee, because Randee isn't that pretty. She's also not sure why she's friends with Keith, who is a sloppy drunk. At least he is at this party. When Natalie wants to leave the party she refuses to go with Keith because he is acting like a fool. So instead she gets in Randee's car (well, her parents' car) along with Todd, Carlo, and Gillian. It's a rainy night, and they've all had a bit to drink (though not as much as Keith). I immediately notice how irresponsible Natalie is for letting Keith take his own car home instead of insisting that someone else drives him.

Randee is a timid driver and the rain and the come down from the party aren't helping. She is driving to take Todd home first, but she misses his turn. Instead, she comes to a dead end (get it?) road where, all of a sudden, they all hear a sickening crunch of metal and Natalie's head hits the top of the car. Then they notice another car in front of them. Randee insists to them there was no one in it, but Natalie, Carlo, and Gillian aren't so sure. Natalie thinks she sees a shadow moving in the car. She demands Randee goes back, but Randee refuses. She wasn't supposed to be at the party, and she definitely was not supposed to take her parents' car. She says they'll be in more trouble than they need to be if they tell, so they all need to keep quiet. Todd agrees, and Natalie, Carlo, and Gillian are forced into submission.

Todd calls Natalie the next day to tell her that he knows someone was in the car. And it turns out it was the mayor's daughter. So there is an urgent hunt out for the hit-and-run driver(s). Natalie feels sick, but Todd reminds her that she cannot say anything.

So the book has a lot more of these debates about should we tell, should we not tell? Then one day the five of them go hunting in the woods. Natalie doesn't like to hunt, and she finds herself a bit lost and turned around. It's then that she stumbles upon Carlo's dead body... without a head.

Randee, Gillian, and Todd come running, and Natalie eyes the gun in Todd's hands. She spends the rest of the book thinking that it has to be Todd that's the killer. And when Randee hooks up with Todd, Natalie is convinced that she is also in on the whole killing plot. Natalie Erickson: Great Best Friend.

Gillian grows certain that they must tell the police what happened. But when the three girls are over studying one day, Gillian finds - in what is one of the grossest Stine scenes ever - maggots crawling all over dead meat in her backpack. Sorry if you just had dinner.

Then, to the surprise of no on except maybe Natalie, Gillian turns up dead. She and Randee go to Gillian's house and see her twisted at the bottom of the stairs. She doesn't move on the next page (as usually happens in a Stine book).

Now it's down to just Natalie, Todd, and Randee. Natalie begs Randee to finally go to the police with her, and she agrees. They get there and tell the cops the whole story of that night. He comes outside and checks Randee's parents' car, but she only has a small dent from the accident and no new tires. The cop says that the hit-and-run person would have new tires on their car. And then he tells them, to their great surprise, that they are not the ones who killed the mayor's daughter.

He thinks they are pranking him by turning themselves in. Randee and Natalie insist they were there that night. But the policeman tells them again that they have a strong lead and they are not the ones who killed the mayor's daughter. He does say, however, that they will have to answer for leaving the scene of the crime even if they didn't kill anyone.

Natalie heads home in a daze. But when she comes home, she finds Keith there. And when she looks outside at his car, she notices something... strange. He has one spare tire and one regular. His car looks beat up. The policeman said the car made two different-sized tire marks. Natalie realizes at once what happened (and honestly, she should be blaming herself). It was Keith that hit the mayor's daughter fatally the night of the party. His drunken ass actually tried to get home. So although the five of them were there, they were not the only ones at the dead end.

Keith grabs Natalie's arm and forces her in his car. And then he just up and admits to everything. He killed Carlo and Gillian because they knew he really did it. Now he has to take care of Natalie. So he is taking her back to the dead end road... but this time so that SHE can die. Right past the dead end road there is a drop right off the side of a cliff. Natalie realizes Keith's intentions. He plans to run them off the side. Right when they get to the Dead End sign and Keith slows down a little, Natalie opens her door and jumps to the ground (gotta invest in those child-proof locks, Keith). But Keith keeps going, teetering until he finally goes over the edge and his car explodes. Natalie walks back to town, since she doesn't have a cell phone to call for a ride. And that's where it ends.

Quote:

Randee's not really pretty. Her nose is kind of crooked, and she's still wearing braces even though she's seventeen.

Natalie is a stellar friend, ya'll.

Vaya, definitivamente no lo ví venir.

Si bien el libro no es la gran cosa, ni mucho menos los personajes, me ha impresionado bastante. No me esperaba ese plot twist, de ninguna manera. Me ha dejado sin palabras, y es eso lo que ha hecho que el libro sea fantástico para mí.

Natalie se encuentra en la casa de una de sus amigas celebrando una fiesta, junto a su novio Keith y otros compañeros de escuela. Pero cuando este último se embriaga, Natalie decide regresar a casa con sus amigos en lugar de con su novio, ya que se molesta con él y lo que menos quiere es hacer el trayecto en la calle con él borracho.
Sin embargo, Natalie tal vez habría deseado volver con él cuando durante el viaje su amiga choca en un movimiento desenfrenado con otro coche en un callejón sin salida. ¿El problema? Había una mujer dentro, y ellos la han matado y se han dado la fuga. Además, como si fuera poco, descubrirán (y también hará que la situación se vuelva peor), que aquella mujer es nada más y nada menos que la hermana del alcalde de la ciudad de Shadyside. Todos hacen un pacto en el que prometen no contarle nada a la policía, pero a medida que los adolescentes aparezcan sin vida, será más difícil no perder la cordura.

Hacía mucho que no leía uno de los libros de La Calle del Terror, y tenía un poco de miedo de que justo el que tuviera que leer no me gustara tanto. Pero, por suerte, me equivoqué!
Los personajes en sí no son realmente relevantes, jamás lo son. Solo hacen que la trama se mueva y ya. Pero esta vez la misma se me ha hecho tan realista que me ha parecido genial.

Las descripciones sencillas y crudas solo logran crear una mejor ambientación, que hacen que el entorno solo sea más frío.
Si bien se me ha hecho previsible hacia donde se dirigiría la historia y también cuál sería el personaje culpable, la verdad es que en ningún momento decae ni se hace menos entretenido por eso, y el final de los capítulos siempre deja con ganas de más.

[McCaid Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

There's no turning back...
After Natalie and a group of friends get involved in a hit-and-run, they vow to never share their terrible secret that left a person dead. But someone knows too much...someone who would kill to silence the living.
This was a pretty good little mystery, with some murder amongst friends. It was very fast-paced with a nice twist in the end.
Give this a try if you're looking for a quick, suspenseful read.

This was part of the pile of YA R.L. Stine books that I found at my mom's house, and also part of Stine's Fear Street series, though, aside from some place names that I was probably supposed to recognize, I didn't have any difficulty reading it without knowing anything about Fear Street.

In spite of reading like it was maybe aimed at a slightly younger audience than the other two books I read, this one was a lot bloodier. With an I Know What You Did Last Summer-ish plot straight out of a 90s slasher, and a higher body count than either of the other books, it also got a little gruesome in spots, at least for a book like this. There is, for instance, a chapter titled, "Where Is His Head?"

in 2013 my local library was getting ride of all paperback books and they had all the R.L. Stine / Christopher Pike books so I bought all of them and read them with a massive teen book marathon .. I really hope that a whole new generation of teens gets to fall in love with these books !!! as they are simply the best I loved all of these books in my teens .. :) and I really enjoyed going down memory lane re reading them as an adult ... :)

The book was like a game like a puzzle, like you have to put all the pieces together and figure out what happens. There is 6 friends and 3 survives, and all of this becomes to a dead end. I wish it could go a little longer and not just rushing it but I loved it. So overall this is a good book to read.

Reviewed on Lili Lost in a Book

A bunch of teens are driving home from a party when all of a sudden BAM! They run into another car! But do they stop and help or call for help? No, because this is a Fear Street book and these characters are dumb. Lol. And do they go to the police afterward when they find out that they killed this person? Also no, because it could ruin their lives or whatever *insert eyeroll here* Lol.

So it turned out the kids didn’t kill the person, the person was already dead when they ran into them. One part I didn’t understand was that it was a drunk Keith who did it. It doesn’t make sense because Natalie and her friends left the party first and were way ahead of him. Although, I guess because he was drunk he was probably driving way over the limit... but I don’t know.

This was a fine read. The characters were kinda dumb and the mystery was just okay. It was, however, pretty thrilling. And I really liked the gore! It was very 😬🙈 but that’s what I liked about it! R.L. Stine is really good at writing these types of scenes!

A couple of mentions: They went to Talia Blanton’s (from The Thrill Club ) party right at the beginning of the book. Corky Corcoran from The Fear Street Cheerleaders , Janie Simpson from The New Boy , and Ricky Schorr and Pete Goodwin from The Overnight were also mentioned.

The Fear Street connection: At one point they nearly turn onto Fear Street... but they don’t. That’s it. The accident doesn’t even take place on Fear Street. And if it did, it wasn’t mentioned 🤷‍♀️

[Eric · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this was just a passable thriller, but glancing through the victim-blaming reviews here on Goodreads, maybe it's secretly a good book to use as a jumping-off point for discussions about sexism in our society and how we're always so eager to look for a way to blame the woman in any situation where tragedy strikes and she is only passively involved. Like the hateful speculation about the wife of the BTK killer, as if her ignorance is a worse crime than the murders her husband committed. As a man, I find it pretty insulting to suggest that I need a girlfriend/wife to "mother" me and keep me from engaging in the harmful behavior I am prone to because of my inherent male stupidity. Maybe I'm an adult who is responsible for my own actions, you know?

Anyway, the rubric for any Fear Street book is "how ridiculous is the action" and "how stupid are the characters". There are a minimum of fake-out scares in Dead End; the tension heightens logically, and the characters are acceptably dumb, in the sense that you understand how they could talk themselves into making poor decisions while they're panicked and stressed. It does seem stupid to immediately go on a group hunting trip when Friend A has just suggested that Friend B needs to die in an "accident"--hey, now they're both armed!--but I don't know that you have that much foresight as a teenager, and life maybe hasn't taught you yet that you don't know a person's heart, or what they're capable of, just because you hang out sometimes. The red herrings are effective without being too over-the-top, although I was able to guess the killer's identity less than halfway through, but I probably would have been fooled if I read this as a preteen. I was also impressed with the sticky car door paying off at the end...even if it does seem contrived that a tire blowout would cause THAT much of a loss of control (I had a tire blowout on the highway once and the only thing that gave it away was the sound; it wasn't the life-endangering situation you see in movies where the driver shoots across five lanes of traffic, narrowly avoiding several head-on collisions, and then dramatically spins out).

#FinalReview "Satu kecelakaan lagi," bisiknya. "Satu kecelakaan mengerikan lagi."

❣️ Kecelakaan! Itu lah yang ingin diyakini Natalie setelah menemukan jenazah kedua sahabat baiknya yang terbujur kaku secara mengenaskan. Tapi apakah benar, kedua sahabatnya murni karena kecelakaan? Kenapa sangat bertepatan dengan tingkah laku mereka yang ingin melapor ke polisi?

❣️ Meskipun target bacanya adalah remaja, tapi kengerian di dalamnya bisa disandingkan dengan thriller dewasa. Aku suka bagaimana penulis mengecoh kita dengan menyiapkan lima tersangka remaja yang masing-masing punya motif kuat untuk tidak melaporkan tabrak lari yang mereka lakukan. Dan parahnya yang meninggal adalah adik Walikota. Kejahatan serius ini mereka sembunyikan di bawah sumpah. Bayangkan teror yang selalu menghantui mereka jika mereka ketahuan?

❣️ Aku suka gambaran rasa frustasi Natalie saat ia harus menuduh (di dalam hati) kedua sahabatnya yang tersisa. Di satu sisi ia tidak punya siapapun tempat ia bercerita, namun satu sisi mereka telah berbuat keji. Bukan hanya sekali, tapi dua kali.

❣️ Adegan terbaik adalah saat pelaku terungkap. Ya Tuhan, aku benar-benar syok saat tau kebenarannya. Rasanya selama ini, aku telah ditipu oleh Penulisnya. Padahal setelah ku baca ulang, sekilas, petunjuknya udah disebar oleh Penulis. Aku nya yang kurang nangkap.

❣️ Senang rasanya bisa nostalgia dengan R.L. Stine. Kamu pecinta thriller, harus punya atau baca karya beliau.

Snippet: I was enjoying this book until right at the end. It really feels like Stine spent so much time building the story, realised it was getting too long and then just rushed an ending inside 10 pages? I don't understand how no-one thought to revise this and I can't get over it for some reason hahaha.

I liked Natalie as a protagonist and I liked how she was constantly unable to decide whether going to the police was a good idea or not. The other characters could have been fleshed out way more, and although we spent considerably less time with Gillian and Carlo, I preferred them way more than Randee, Todd and Keith.

Check out my full review linked up top for an in-depth recap :)

[Chelsea · Rating 3 out of 5]

(Re-read) Natalie hitches a ride with some friends after a party when her boyfriend had too much beer to drink. The result is a car accident on a dead end road in the middle of a foggy night. Scared, the teens drove off only to find out the next day that the woman in the car is dead. They make a vow to not tell anyone and keep the secret until they start getting killed one by one. Now nothing is looking truly like an accident.
Dead End redeems the series after the previous book's shortcomings. Natalie is guilty and scared when she discovers the woman is dead and her fear built a great suspense. The mystery was a bit too obvious, but perhaps it's because I'm an adult? Three gruesome deaths in this short book remind readers why Stine is a master of his craft.

[Khurshid Ali · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you love I know what you did last summer then you will definitely enjoy reading this.

Fear Street as we have all heard is a street where all things evil and haunted dwell, where death is always on the cards.

Shadyside as we know is where all this evil takes place and now let’s add in Dead End Lane.

Its starts off with an innocent drive home after a party and ends at Dead End Lane.

Soon
The threats start
The deaths happen

But
They have been ruled as accidents

However
Someone knows differently and they wont let anyone say anything different

Because they were also on Dead End Lane

[Holowka · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think this story was good from the start and had some good build up but the ending and final chapters feel like food that are missing some seasoning like after Keith was reveal to be the killer it felt underwhelming and his death felt rushed like now he's here and now oh shit he died, and you can tell he was the killer when he was the only character left that Natalie wanted to talk with and there were only few pages left before the story ends but Stine did a good job trying to convince he wasn't the killer in the early chapters

Es muy entretenido de leer e ideal para pasar el rato, sí, es predecible, pero no cansa, aunque sabía qué iba a pasar desde el principio, es una de esas lecturas fáciles que no requiere much concentración, es como leer una película noventera de terror, con adolescentes estúpidos y personajes unidimensionales, y eso a mi me parece suficiente razón para leerla.

So, I kept feeling during the whole time I read this that I've read it before and I very well could have but I think it just reminded me of another fear street book. I try to go back and read the ones I don't recall reading and reread my favorites. The twist I easily guessed but it was still a fun read.
