This was a quick, easy, enjoyable read (one of the more enjoyable Fear Streets that I have read so far if I am being honest)... BUT it is actually probably the most fucked up Fear Street book that I have read so far.

The main girl cheats on what is basically, I guess, an old-school version of the SATs by having someone else sit the exam for her for the low initially agreed-upon price of a single date.

First of all, that sort of skeeved me out...  when you think about it, in a none-PG-13-Fear-Street-World she would probably be trading not just a date but sexual favors as well. Obviously, that is not even implied/hinted at in this book because Fear Street books never go into those types of things, but really... what sort of high school boy would risk major consequences for sitting someone else's exam for only a single evening of dinner and dancing? 

The boy who sat the exam then continues to demand more and more- more dates and then eventually money. THEN the girl's boyfriend finds out that she is being blackmailed and KILLS the blackmailer for his girl. Sure, it was self-defense/an accident... but nothing really bad happens to either the boyfriend for killing a guy OR to the main girl for cheating in the first place. NOTHING! The book ends with them playing chess and them making a joke about cheating. The Fear Street books have always treated death/murder sort of casually, but this seemed like a bit much. 

Oh, and the "spooky/scary" part of the story was that this main girl had some pretty serious threats against her- a bloody heart from some animal in her gym bag and then being nearly run off the road and killed by another driver... she assumed it was the blackmailer losing his mind which is part of the reason she was so scared. Therefore, it was part of the reason that the blackmailer ended up dying. But he didn't do those things! It was a guy with a grudge against her father! So really, the blackmailer was an asshole and a jerk but he didn't do the truly evil things... which makes it even worse that he was so casually killed and no one really cared.
