Fear Street

YA
Fear Street series.
Hoping a return to normalcy will aid her emotional recovery after a car accident that took her father's life, Lisa agrees to babysit a neighborhood boy. While on the job, she struggles to separate reality from hallucinations--and then her friends start dying. Driven by cliffhangers and plot twists, the story lacks depth and complex characters but offers chills at a quick pace.

YA
Fear Street series.
This addition to the recently revived series follows teen Rachel, who's ecstatic over an invitation to her crush's birthday party on his family's secluded private island. But when party pranks turn deadly, Rachel wishes she had heeded her friends' ominous warnings to stay away. After a sluggish opening, Stine's signature brisk plotting moves toward an effective twist ending, leaving character development in the dust.
