Will Pete play again? You have to read this book because you will be on the edge of your seat!

I've read just about every single book in the Ghosts of FearStreet series, and still none of them can top the first tale from thisFear Street knock-off. Author Emily James did a great job with her characters, twisting them all up into a great plot, all the ingredients for a masterpiece. Brilliantly represented and plot twists you were never expecting. By the time Hide and Shriek II came out, I had stopped reading the series, long believing it to be dead. I picked it up anyway, and it definitely didn't live up to what I was hopeing for from such a great first. Hide and Shriek is a must-read for anyone who likes horror. And I bet you'll think twice before playing hide-and-seek in the dark again.

I liked the book because it had good characters. I also liked it because it was scary. It was nice to read. My best character was Pete.

It has been the the best book I ever read . This book was about a new girl in town. Someone in shool told her about a kid named Peter they said that each year on his birth day he would come and take over a body specialy new people . Will he get her?
