I usually shoot through these books in a day, but this one took me 3 days to read. It was because you pretty much already know what's going on from reading the first book. The same weird housekeeper and handyman get hired, weird stuff goes on in the house, and some of the plot points from the first book get resolved. I guessed all the twists except for the last one, which was BONKERS. Holy crap, I loved it and I wish that it was revealed earlier or that there were more clues pointing to it. Looking forward to finishing up this series. Fear Street # 39 If you thought Cally and her family were naive about living in a Murder House, I'd like you to meet Brandt McCloy and his parents who've just come back to the United States after living for years on an obscure Pacific island. That may be why they hadn't heard about the sudden death and disappearance of two members of the previous family to live at 99 Fear Street. However, us readers should get some answers as to how Jason Lurie's realty business works. Does he advertise? Is the house really cheap enough to not require a mortgage? Is there some incentive to NOT having a mortgage in the tax code of Shadyside? Is this the only house he sells or does he have an in on condo development in North Hills just to pay bills? Anyway. The McCloys have moved in and brought with them a large number of tribal art and artifacts. The house is going to be renovated, but first they've got to take care of that rat problem in the basement and hire a housekeeper. Oh look, a handyman/exterminator and a housekeeper appear! The McCloy's are also worried about Brandt's "condition" and are reluctant to let him pitch in with any heavy lifting or by playing sports. The house starts doing its thing soon enough. Noxious smells, voices in the walls, and threatening diaries abound when Brandt really just wants enough time to figure out what to do with the three girls throwing themselves at him. There's also basketball to consider. With all of this on his mind who can blame Brandt when, after a girl gets out of the hospital from the first time she visited, I'd like to give the book all the points because it is easily as entertaining as 'The First Horror', but the questions just keep snowballing and Stine needs to learn a lesson about mutilating the pets almost every single time. Ezra, we barely knew thee. This is not to mention the not lazy and totally actually respectful use of a foreign culture to explain any of this family's behavior. On the next episode, we see a victim return to the house for revenge and Hollywood fame.

There's a few things to remember when you're reading a Fear Street novel so you can actually enjoy them:
The Idiot Quota is pretty high in Shadyside: Doesn't matter how many times the residents (new and old) are told NOT to do something, they'll do it. Because all those stories about Fear Street and the Fears could NEVER happen to them surely.
Death or Injury by Fear is a legitimate insurance claim: Otherwise I can't see how the rest of the world hasn't come down like a ton of bricks on the "small town" of Shadyside for the ridiculous number of highly suspicious or improbable deaths of teens.
Love is deadly so don't look for anything more then angst: Its very likely at least one of the participants is dead, cursed, the villain or has a previous/current significant other/stalker who won't let go and will kill to keep them.
People don't trust the "Fears"...until they see the attractive ones: Mostly an ongoing problem in the "historicals" since the Fears bred an insane amount of highly attractive people despite folk in their family dying by the dozens each week. But the blinders seem to be on everyone's eyes if the bad guy is attractive in some manner.
This book has a twist at the end that I completely forgot, which is good because once you know it you'll see all the obvious clues of it and that ruins some of the suspense in the book.
