Reviews

[†Reviews of a FearStreetZombie†]

I think it's safe to say I am addicted to this series.

I really loved how this book went back in time and explained a lot of how it all started. It actually reminds me a lot of the Fear Street books by RL Stine.

I really liked that this book didn't have as much cussing as the rest but I still stand by the fact still a lot was unnecessary. Also when she threatened her class that if they move, she would wring their necks. Man if a teacher EVER threatened my kids like that she'd never teach again.

Any who, I felt this story lacked a bit though. Don't get me wrong, I loved this book. I just feel like it lacked that "umph" that the previous books had.

But man that surprise blew me away. I knew it had to be somthing like that but it still shocked the heck out of me.

I really can't wait to read the next book and see where it takes everything.

This was a quick YA read. I decided to read it to see if it was full of the F word like some other reviews had said. Since I have the series in my high school library I felt I needed to be familiar with at least one of the books. There was a small amount of swearing in the heat of the moment. There was also a couple sex scenes that didn't describe anything but you knew what they did. If is a horror book written for older teens in my opinion. Not sure if I will read any of the others.

I rather enjoyed this series up to now, but this one just flat out didn’t work. Hopefully 4 gets back on track.

Not nearly as interesting as the first two books, at least in my opinion. But it definitely provides more insight about the history of the town of Grey Hills its residents.
