The Burning

A worthwhile conclusion to the Fear Street Saga trilogy and a good read overall. I love family sagas so maybe that's why I enjoyed this series so much, but I thought it was decently-written for a YA book.

This last book in the Fear Street Saga which tells the story of the curse that plagues Fear Street rounds out what happened to the Fier (Fear) family although the fate of the Goode's is left up in the air. It is not as creepy as the first two books but goes about the business of winding up the story. I did enjoy finding out about the families although there is a sense of hopelessness toward the end. No one seems to have learned any lessons about the futility of seeking revenge. No one learns to be forgiving. I kept waiting for a ray of hope. Well, I guess if that had happened we wouldn't have Fear Street.

Possible Spoiler Alert:

It's interesting that I just followed this up with Cheerleaders which has inconsistencies with the story... I have to give credit to Stine for Simon thinking that he'd killed Angelica's suitors when it was Angelica who killed them! She was definitely evil enough to match. It was too bad Daniel was dumb enough to bring Nora to his grandparents. Still my favorite trilogy of the series.

Simon Fear falls in love with the beautiful Angelica from the very moment he first sees her. But to his dismay he has some competition. How will he get her attention? Little does he know that Angelica has her eye on him as well. After the suitors and Angelica's father's sudden and horrible departure both Simon and Angelica get what they want. They are married and before long they have several children.

Simon Fear believes that there is no longer a curse on his family until he discovers that one of his maids is a GOODE. He blames the servant for another death in the family and in his fury he mistakenly murders one of his children.

Daniel Fear has never had any contact with his grandparents until he receives an invitation to attend his show more ailing grandfathers birthday party. During his stay in Shadyside he meets the beautiful Norah Goode and little do they know the prophecy from so long ago is about to come true.

This trilogy was really good in that it kept the suspense going and was not slow moving show less

Memory lane. This book is part of my favorite trilogy growing up. I was addicted to all R.L. Stine books and I'm not ashamed of it :-P It was with these books that I got addicted to reading!

The book was the end of a trilogy. This is also the first book I read in my first highschool library that sparks my obsessiveness with paranormal fiction. My sister had the book earlier than this series about a girl who had the Fear medallion which was stolen by one of the Fear who left her to die. But the entire series was out of print. Can't seem to find it anywhere since 2003.
