Can You Keep a Secret?
Can You Keep a Secret?: A Fear Street Novel | R. L. Stine
14 posts | 9 read | 5 to read
R.L. Stine has built his legacy on scaring children and teenagers. Now he's back with another spine-tingling tale of horror in this new Fear Street book about temptation, betrayal, and fear. Eddie and Emmy are high school sweethearts from the wrong side of the tracks. Looking for an escape from their dreary lives, they embark on an overnight camping trip in the Fear Street Woods with four friends. As Eddie is carving a heart into a tree, he and Emmy discover a bag hidden in the trunk. A bag filled with hundred-dollar bills. Thousands of them. Should they take it? Should they leave the money there? The six teens agree to leave the bag where it is until it's safe to use it. But when tragedy strikes Emmy's family, the temptation to skim some money off of the top becomes impossible to fight. There's only one problem. When Emmy returns to the woods, the bag of money is gone, and with it, the trust of six friends with a big secret. Packed with tension and sure to illicit shivers in its readers, this new Fear Street book is another terrifying tale from a master of horror.

Almost done, I swear!

This one I didn't care for as much as the others. The story is one you've heard a million times: a group finds a stash of hidden cash, everyone turns on each other other, group get paranoid about the robber that hid the money, chaos ensues. This one has a very Stine-esque twist though that I really didn't need and a scene I could have lived without

I made it to hour 12 last night, switching to my ereader for read 5, In An Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire. Buuut no pic because there‘s no cover art in the digital ARC and my ereader needed charging so I‘m onto read 6 in the meantime, a return to Fear Street for hour 16.5 of the #24in48 readathon!

After my conversations with @laundry_piles and @JenlovesJT47 I decided to stop by the library on the way home from work. Found this Fear Street written in 2016. As if I don‘t have enough to read already. Also since it is #loveyourpetday Mork posed with the book for me. #dogsoflitsy #librariesrock #mork

laundry_piles Love it! This is #4 of The Fear Street Relaunch! I have the first two (first one was published in 2014) but I haven't read them yet! There's six total so far...do I smell a #FearStreetBuddyRead? 6y
laundry_piles PS - your pup is adorable! 6y
JenlovesJT47 Awesome picture!! And I would so be down for a buddy read @laundry_piles !! I haven't read any of the newer Fear Street books yet but they're on my TBR. Will look into it! 6y

laundry_piles @JenlovesJT47 I have never organized one...but if you and @JoScho are interested I can try my hand at it (though it may be far from being very organized 😂) 6y
ghosthost That‘s the one I found on Libby just now! 6y
JenlovesJT47 @laundry_piles that would be awesome! The books are short, we could either just read the newer ones or maybe go back and read some of the classics. I'm good with either! 6y
laundry_piles @JenlovesJT47 hmmm since they're short, we could start with the six Relaunch and then go back in time and start reading all the oldie-but-goodie's?? 6y
JenlovesJT47 @laundry_piles sounds good to me! 6y
JoScho @laundry_piles @JenlovesJT47 I have never done a buddyread before so I will have nothing to compare it to so I am sure it will be awesome 😊 @ghosthost would you be interested? 6y
ghosthost Sounds fun! Sure. 6y
Craftylikefox Fear Street takes me back! I have been finding some of the old ones at thrift stores and stuff but I think I should try some of the newer ones. Your pup is adorable! I love the name too 6y
JoScho @Craftylikefox thank you - he is a Morkie so his name is not all that original but we have another dog named Millhouse so I liked Mork and Milly like the old tv show. Plus when we got him his name was Legend-dumb. Look at that cute little monster-I was not calling him Legend 😂 6y
mabell You are too cute, Mork! 🐶❤️ 6y
JoScho @mabell thank you 😊 6y
Craftylikefox You gave him a much more fitting name! Plus Mork and Milly sounds adorable!! 6y

All done! Not the best in the Fear Street collection, past or present, and in some places, I swear I‘d seen some of the passages before, but overall, a quick read and a decent way to pass some time at work. #canyoukeepasecret #rlstine #fearstreet

With the turn today‘s work day just took, I‘m taking a brief break from Beatriz Williams‘ lyrical prose in favor of my favorite murder-filled town. Visits to Fear Street always soothe me. (I...am not sure what that says about me.) #canyoukeepasecret #rlstine #fearstreet

I was nervous about this one after not liking Party Games, but this was everything I wanted R.L. Stine to be.
It was the perfect mix of real life and paranormal, and a good mix of scary but not really that scary. There were some predictable twists and some I never saw coming.
Overall, super enjoyable, light read!
