The Lost Girl - 5 ☆
The lost girl was a shocking read. It was horrific on many levels, that I didn't expect to come from a Fear Street novel. It was intense and gory from the very first part of the book. But despite the horrors, I couldn't put it down. It was a real page turner. 

RL Stine has got to be one of my favourite authors ever and it took me so long to realise that. Some books often make me feel bored but Stine is one of the few authors that keep me completely engaged throughout the whole story. His language was really simple but the storyline was captivating and truly horrific. At one point, my sister told me I shouldn't read it anymore because I looked so scared.

I love the Fear Street series and The Lost Girl had all the elements I love about it. The creepy atmosphere, the murders, the stalking, the supernatural elements, the connection between the past and the present,.. I was enjoying it so much, I wanted to devour it all in one day but I had to take it slow and savour it as much as I can.

Can You Keep A Secret? - 3.5 ☆
After the incredible first story, I was on high. I was excited for the second book but sadly, it didn't live up to the first one. I really expected the whole 2-in-1 book would be a full 5 star rating but it was so different. It didn't even feel like a Fear Street book to me. 

I couldn't connect to the characters, and the story didn't feel as smooth as the first one. In TLG, the blending of the past and present, and the logical and supernatural elements felt smooth and flawless. But in CYKAS, it felt like putting two wrong jigsaw puzzles together. Sometimes I felt like I was reading two different stories at once. 

Minor spoiler: On one hand, it had robbery and stolen money fought among friends, and the other, it had folklore and lycanthrope. It didn't mesh well together and although it was an easy read, it wasn't such a great story.
