I'd forgotten just how much screaming there is in a Fear Street book.

Sweet baby Zeus, Ophelia really is exceptionally stupid at times.

Not much traffic on Johns Island. My ass. Pretty sure afternoon tea would lead into traffic, rush hour and after school.

Note to self: start making BINGO cards for this series and have a threatening note taped to Theo's backdoor one of the spaces.

If summer is only just starting to fade into autumn, why in he'll are all these fireplaces in use? Charleston doesn't even begin to cool off until October. I could buy maybe early early morning usage if you're going for atmosphere or are easily chilled but even that's a stretch and a half.

Theo was strangled the night before and even comments on the bruises she'll have but in the morning, nary a word about it or the soreness she should feel, both from the strangling and the tumble down the stairs.

Seriously, Theo, someone tried to kill you and was possibly lurking outside Andrea's door at a hotel. Tell the staff!!

Never trust a man willing to wear a pinky ring, Jess. Never

How many teenage girls has Jessica Wakefield pushed to suicide? Should I have a running tally by now?

Love how upset at the idea that Jeremy is a gold digger, as if she didn't entertain gold digger status a time or two before 😂

Please, please, 🙏 please let someone bring up Tricia when Sue's fuckery comes to light. Please!

Oh God, save me from 90's self help Liz.

Dear ghosty, *69 exists for Lila's prank calls. Trust me, the phone queen would be able to at least try and use itm

CD-ROM! Oh, the days when that was the height of technology for reference materials.

Lila is doing a lot of crying or eyes misting except for when she's probably been concussed.

Also, Damon, you don't get to take the high road when you're creeping on a student.

Is the reason Alexandra turned to the darkside because of her green eyes? What's the deal, guys?

Also, I wasn't prepared for this to be an "I Only Have Eyes For You" situation. The joys of re-reading something I probably read twice at most, more than 20 years ago.

Ohhhh, we're doing less gay Interview. Also, dammit, Star Trek from Jessica?

This book sure is talking a lot of shit about Bigfoot for a series that canonically had a werewolf scare and just dodged aliens a couple books back.

Oh, we're leaning hard on the China Beach similarities, huh.

Questions thus far: why stay during September at all after the first? Why take the boards off the basement? Sure, Katharine might be curious but the basement can just be off-limits

say diet lemonade one more time...

Why does Claudia's dad look nearly as old as Mimi?

I love so much in this book but the way June's bleeding memories are done is a stylistic choice that's going to drive me bonkers.

Is this book really trying to tell me that gators aren't active at night? In the summer?

Note to self: re-read Rockstar's Girl to see if Andrea is this much of a doormat there because I doubt it.

Bruce is being absolutely horrible.

Oh, cheese. I'd forgotten about the trip to Brazil prize. Also, I've never understood whether the calling it a prom was just an excuse to get a prom queen?

And on what planet is prom queen anything but a popularity contest?

I'd forgotten about the whole sparkle bit. And the healing of people that is... oof.

I'm pretty sure that if a Patman walks into the SV police station, that Patman does not have to sneak back to talk to the detective. Also, detective? Murder case isn't closed until you catch the suspect... Cold, yes, closed? No.

Ghosty hasn't spent any time with water damage, huh? Tom's bedspread is floating in water a bit but the sheets on that same bed are dry as a bone? Unless that bedspread is plastic, that's not how fabric works.
