Britney's Review Of Party Games

We received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

Party Games by R.L. Stine

Publication Date: September 30, 2014

Summary: Her friends warn her not to go to Brendan Fear's birthday party at his family's estate on mysterious Fear Island. But Rachel Martin has a crush on Brendan and is excited to be invited. Brendan has a lot of party games planned. But one game no one planned intrudes on his party-the game of murder. As the guests start dying one by one, Rachel realizes to her horror that she and the other teenagers are trapped on the tiny island with someone who may want to kill them all. How to escape this deadly game? Rachel doesn't know whom she can trust. She should have realized that nothing is as it seems...on Fear Island.

R.L. Stine makes his triumphant return to Shadyside, a town of nightmares, shadows, and genuine terror, and to the bestselling series that began his career writing horror for the juvenile market, in the new Fear Street book Party Games.

My Rating: 3.5/5 Stars.

My Review: I'm somebody who absolutely loves horror and being scared, so I love horror movies, and horror books. Growing up R.L. Stine was my favorite horror writer and I devoured his books. When I saw that there was this new book coming out relating to Fear Street I was so excited. Reading Party Games I have to say that I wasn't blown away, but I think this may be because it is written for younger people. It was not the most well written book ever, and I wasn't that scared from reading it but I did enjoy it. 

Nothing spooky happened until a little ways into the book, and then it was nonstop action from there. So, it definitely takes a little while to get into and then all the crazy things start and Rachel realizes maybe she should have listened to her friends and not have gone to the party. 

I was torn between giving it 3 or 3.5 stars and finally decided on 3.5 stars because of the twist about the whole thing. It was honestly something I didn't guess and didn't see coming at all. This twist actually made me gasp and I had to re-read it a few times to really let it sink in. 

If you enjoy R.L. Stine and his books then I would encourage you to definitely check this book out.
