I liked the main character and the setup, but the climax and explanation for what happened was a let down. There was also no skiing!
This was one of the Fear Street series I hadn’t read when I was younger. I’m so glad I’m revisiting this series and have a nostalgic feeling as I read these books.

Takes me back and reminds me of my childhood and love of reading.
Possible Spoiler Alert:

Surprise- the character who seems to be a good guy isn't- how very different from the other books in the series- or not. Maybe if I was into murder mysteries I would have liked the murder set-up in this one, but I'm not and I didn't. There was definitely a lot of creepiness going on with the set-up.
Strange things begin to happen when Ariel, Doug, and Shannon are stranded in a ski lodge during a snow storm.
