Customer Reviews

This book was awesome!

This prequel to the Fear Street series is a great place to start if you've never read any of the other novels. It tells the story of how Fear Street came to be by introducing the Fier family and the Goode family who are interwoven because of some terrible things the Fiers did to the Goodes and a curse being put on them. The whole book spans over a hundred years of terrible events brought on by the curse. Then the Fiers changed their name's spelling to Fear hoping to end the curse, only for it to do the opposite. I loved the backstory and the history of both families, and how they both tried to do what they thought was right in order to end the curse, only to both be effected by their decisions. If you like the Fear Street series, you'll love the three prequels!

Good book

I had bought this book when I was in maybe 3 or 4 grade (not the appropriate age for this book) and I loved it, I couldn’t put the book down it was just too good, there were some parts where it was too much for me but honestly really recommend it. One of my favorite things is how it manages to tell so many different stories taking place in different times but it’s fine so well.
