Silent Night:
Oh snobby, rich girl Reva Dalby. Just because her daddy owns the chain of Dalby Department stores, she thinks she’s above everyone else, treating them all like sh*t. Even her own cousin Pam. She’s definitely earned the wrath of many people with her actions. One of those people has decided to take revenge on the spoiled brat. But what starts off as pranks, soon turn more sinister. More deadly. Horrifying things keep happening to Reva. Someone is trying to scare her and it’s working. But would they go as far as to actually kill her? Poor little rich girl Reva will have to learn her lesson the bad way, before she gets dead.
Silent Night is definitely one of the better Fear Street books out there! It had so many great plot twists I did not see coming—finding out who was sending Reva all these threatening gifts, and finding out who the murderer was... whoa. The mystery was just great! Plus I loved the setting! I’ve actually already read this one like three times now! And it’s also a great holiday read... if you’re into sinister holiday reads 😉

Silent Night 2:
Reva is back at being her old, awful self. And now someone is out to kidnap the spoiled brat. Look, Reva is a bitch and she totally deserves what’s coming to her. And then there’s Pam. Poor Pam, thinking her cousin had changed. But nooooooo. Now Pam is caught up in Reva’s mess and could be in real trouble herself.
Guys, Silent Night 2 was SO good! It honestly had some of the best plot twists! Insane plot twists everywhere! I loved getting those surprises! I mean, everything that could go wrong for the kidnappers does. It was amusing and surprising all at the same time! So many mistakes, everything going wrong, not to mention betrayals... it was great! So many thrills, so much suspense... Silent Night 2 was just a very exciting read full of interesting characters! Sure, some of them were less likable than others (*cough* Reva *cough*), but that’s the point! This was a great sequel and overall fun Fear Street book.

Silent Night 3:
Reva is back from college on winter break and someone is out to kill Reva... again. But can you blame them? After everything that happened to Reva in the last two books, she is still treating people like sh*t. Now people around her are dropping dead, and Reva is probably next. She thinks she can get anything she want, and will lie to get it, and as previously mentioned, even hurt people along the way. All the people she has crossed, it’s no wonder someone is always out to get her on a constant basis. This girl... she just doesn’t learn her goddamn lesson, does she? I guess someone’s gonna have to refresh Reva’s memory... again.
One thing I loved about the last two books was that they had amazing plot twists! This one, not so much. Well, no. They were interesting—the person behind all the murders and their motivation actually caught me a little by surprise. But only a little because the thing behind their motivation I had actually already guessed ahead of time. As soon as we were introduced to this particular character I knew there was something way off. Well, it was obvious to me anyway.
Overall, though, I really enjoyed Silent Night 3! I honestly hope Reva has finally learned her lesson. I just feel awful for Pam for having to deal with this awful cousin of hers. Seeing as how this book completes the Silent Night trilogy, it’s safe to assume Reva did indeed learn her lesson. But probably not. Lol.

The Fear Street connection: Reva's cousin Pam lives Fear Street.

I read all 3 books of the Silent Night trilogy. It was cringey but that's how you know it's good. I read the stories for its cheesiness and its red herrings.
This book was about Reva, a cold, spoiled, and obnoxious teen. Her villain origin story was that her mom died and she's jealous of her cousin, Pam. Hence, she does everything in her power to make Pam feel small. But not only did she wrong Pam, she made fun of other people and brought them down unconsciously.
While Reva acted like a mean girl, crazy things happened throughout the books that made Reva scared. The books weren't paranormal. They were more suspense/thriller. Overall, Silent Night is a ridiculous (but fun) book series with an unlikable main character.

This is my second time reading this book. Like the first time, I truly enjoyed it. The horror at the end of the first chapter is seared in my brain since the first time I read it 9 years ago. Stine will always be one of the greatest horror writers out there. Each chapter was beautifully mixed with all the right ingredients: intensity, mystery, fright, jealousy, anger, and gut-wrenching violence. The emotions were truly felt like I was the character(s) narrating. Really well-written and realistic. Loved it.

*Silent Night*: A short novel, maybe too short, but definitely suspenseful.
I enjoyed it.
The Christmassiness level for my standards is not so high, but neither inexistent.
I'm glad I purchased the omnibus edition of this trilogy, because as a standalone novel this book would be disappointing, but as a threesome whole, if the sequels are as quite likeable as this one, it could be a nice reading.
*Silent Night2*: This second part of the Silent Night as a whole novel is full of flaws, so it is worse than the first one. Well, it's not that Silent Night is excellent, but it is better, indeed.
There are ridiculous moments, one of them so it almost makes me laugh (Pam's revenge toward Reva--ridicuolus, really).
I'm now eager to read the third part.
*Silent Night3*: Better than the second third. Rich in flaws and craziness. Quite enjoyable. A little bit more Christmassy. A nice ending to this third third and the whole Silent Night book.
