You May Now Kill the Bride

Two brides. Two murderous weddings. Both tear the sisters apart. In Shadyside in 1923, Ruth-Ann Fear and her older sister Rebecca Fear did not see eye to eye. Rebecca thought everything was hers, including Ruth-Ann’s crush Peter Goodman. A rift forms between the two sisters when Rebecca declares that she is marrying Peter. Ruth-Ann discovers a secret attic hidden with ancient books on spells, incantations, and the historic rivalry between the Fears and the Goodes. The supposedly happiest day of Rebecca’s life turns to horror. What will happen when it’s sister versus sister for the groom? And what secret is this groom keeping from his newly wedded bride? Almost a hundred years later, history seems to repeat itself where the oldest sister Marissa Fear is about to get married in the exact place that Rebecca Fear was married. In this family, the Fear sisters don’t seem to get along. Doug and Marissa are preparing for the happiest moment in their life. However, when the day comes, the bride goes MIA. Did the bride get cold feet, or is there something more sinister at this wedding? Harmony finds the cryptic note in Marissa’s room. Plus, there is a surplus number of suspects for a possible murder. R.L. Stine has done a splendid job with this book. I was suspicious of many characters becoming murderers. I didn’t know who it was until the end. I like the idea of a family named Fear that lives in Shadyside, probably near Fear Street, where bizarre and mysterious incidents happen. I highly recommend this cliff-hanger book. I love the cover of the book. The style makes the novel appear ruined, with the ends creasing. I would never have thought to create such a unique cover. The only issue I had was with the ordering of it. The first time I ordered, I got an ex-library book. I wish all these book options were marked and the customer had the opportunity to choose between the ex-library book and the none library. (I prefer a book with no stickers on the cover. That’s just me.) Otherwise, I enjoyed the Return to Fear Street 1: You May Now KILL The Bride.
