Book Review: You May Now Kill The Bride by R.L. Stine

You May Now Kill the Bride (Return to Fear Street, #1)

Blurb:

NEW Fear Street stories with a retro look, perfect for fans of Stranger Things!
Two sisters, divided by time. Each with a terrible resentment she can barely contain.

Two Fear family weddings, decades apart... Each bride will find that the ancient curse that haunts the Fears LIVES ON. It feeds off the evil that courses through their blood. It takes its toll in unexpected ways, and allows dark history to repeat itself.

In this all-new Fear Street story, family ties bind sisters together—till DEATH do they part.

My Review:

I loved R.L. Stine as a kid and when I saw this book, the title, and the amazing cover I. Had. To. Have. It!

This book is a quick, easy read set at first in the 1920s then in modern times. There's sisterly jealousy, secret witchcraft, a curse between feuding families, and Muuuurder! 

The characters were nicely developed and I could feel the jealousy, anger, and tension leaking off the pages and the anticipation and build-up was just right. 

The only thing that fell flat for me was the ending. It was a little anticlimactic for my tastes, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm unhappy with the ending. It was nice enough. 

Overall, I loved this book and I think readers of all ages will enjoy it from preteens to your elderly neighbor. A great read!
