I really enjoyed The Lost Girl. The nostalgia! I love it. It's exactly what I expect from a RL Stine teen horror. It's over the top and a little creepy. I got <i>I Know What You Did Last Summer</i> vibes from this one which I thought was fun.

I wanted more out of the ending, it wasn't my favourite.

I really loved the dual narrators for this, one for the past and one for the present. It made for a pleasurable listening experience. Both of the narrators did a great job and really brought the story to life.

Fear Street is back! I was over the moon when I saw this audiobook available on NetGalley. We're back in Shadyside, and The Lost Girl is just as good as other Fear Street novels I read as a kid. There's revenge, murder, core, and a serious creepy factor that is just so good.

What a gruesome spooky story! Some of the scenes were gory and disturbing . The story itself was creepy and fun! I definitely enjoyed this redux of a Fear Street book. The main character is likable. As per usual with RL Stine he leaves you wondering what’s going to happen. I also enjoy the references to other stories reminding you that Feat Street is one big universe!

The narrators did a great job invoking the different characters and building the tension!

Lizzy Walker is the new girl at Shadyside High. No one knows where she came from or where she lives. She quickly befriended Michael, who was more the happy to help her find her classes or way home.
Trying to include her into his group of friends, Michael invites Lizzy to go snow mobile riding with them. What happened in the woods that day sealed her friendship with the group. No one can talk about the horrific events that occurred.
That day in the woods set horrors into motion. One by one the teenagers are picked off, each in a more gruesome way then the last.

RL Stine and his Fear Street books are back!! When I was 11 years old, I would read his books under the covers of my bed, freaking myself out. I was sad when they stopped coming out. As an adult, watching them get pulled from library shelves because they're outdated, I was mad! Feat Street is never out dated! Luckily RL Stine knew it was time to introduce a new generation to the horrors of Fear Street.
In the tradition of all Fear Street books, The Lost Girl takes place in Shadyside, with its teens. A girl suddenly appears in your neighborhood, asking for directions? Don't worry, she's not a deranged killer back from the dead for revenge. Or is she? RL Stine is the master of bringing people back from the dead to get revenge, even decades later.
Since the book is YA, the gore is mild. I can say there is one scene with some burnt and sticky flesh that was disgusting and nauseating, and awesome. Other then that, this is the perfect YA thriller for your teens stepping into thriller. As an audiobook, the narrator nailed the young vibe. His voice was exactly right for the young protagonist. The fear in his voice, at the perfect times, helped the story come alive.
Fear Street is back baby!

Fast paced and filled with mysterious characters, The Lost Girl is certainly an interesting story. I was able to listen to the audio version of The Lost Girl and found the narration to be very pleasant and a great addition to the writing style. There are a couple of parts of this book that did make me a little more squeamish but they were both over relatively quick, leaving me more surprised than anything. Without giving away a large part of the "twist" in this story, I will say that there was a relationship in this book that I felt like there was a little missing from and truly believe a greater impact could have been made if that gap in the relationship was better explained/developed. Overall, I thought The Lost Girl was a fun mystery but if you are giving this to your teen or preteen to read keep in mind that there are a few gruesome moments in this Fear Street installment.

I was so excited to see this relaunch! R.L. Stine was a huge part of my childhood, so I knew I needed to read this Fear Street series. I was even more excited to have the opportunity to listen to the audiobooks.

I really enjoyed The Lost Girl! Lizzie was a mysterious character from the beginning, and I enjoyed her character throughout. The writing style was on point for this storyline. And I just had that nostalgic feeling as I listened to this book. If you are a fan of YA/Middle Grade Thrillers, I would highly recommend this book.

The Lost Girl was a little slow at times but it didn't hold back punches. At one point I'm glad I wasn't eating because it does get a bit much more than I thought it would so if your squeamish maybe skip this one because there some brutal moments over all it was an average read i did like it but just not as much as i thought i would

If you like Fear Street now or were a fan of the series back in the day, then this will give you that bit of nostalgia that only R.L. Stine's stories can do.
This story starts out in a most interesting way and one that I'll let you find out for yourself when you get to reading or listening to it. For now, I'll stick to the basics and leave out any spoilers. It's better that way. You'll enjoy it so much more in the long run.
Lizzy Palmer is the new girl at Shadyside High. Michael and his friends sort of take her under their wings and start hanging out with her but it's not very long before they start getting strange things happening that just weren't happening before she came along. Not only that, she seems to have a really weird attraction to Michael, almost obsessive. When she invites herself to join them on a snowmobile trip something happens that changes everything.
Soon enough, Michael's friends begin to have terrible things happen to them. When Pepper, Michael's girlfriend starts to believe that Lizzy is the cause of everything, she and Michael discover something that could put their very lives in some serious jeopardy.
This isn't very long so it's hard not to give you spoilers but I think I managed to do it. If you know how these stories go, the Fear Street stories that is, then you kind of know what you are in for. They are sort of predictable but in the very best of ways. They are just fun. They don't take a lot of time to get through and you get to just enjoy a story that is like a tale you would tell to your friends to spook yourselves, or at least portions of it. It's just a good time. I liked it a lot.
Now, I listened to the audio book as well so I wanted to let you know how that was. It was fantastic. It's got two narrators, one for Lizzy and one for Michael. The narrators were terrific at giving life to the words on the pages and I highly recommend giving it a listen if you do get the opportunity to do so. It's so much fun.
Either way you, reading or listening (or maybe a bit of both) this is a lot of fun and a great little book to read and enjoy when you can.


Thank you so much to the author, publisher, netgalley, and anyone I may have forgotten for the review copy!

This book was a page turner from beginning to end. Very captivating with amazing character development.
What a throwback to my childhood reading RL Stine. What would you do to bring back a true love? Anything? I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I loved Fear Street books when I was a teen in the '90s and when I heard there would be Netflix movies I was so excited.

Anyway, I listened to The Lost Girl last week and I did enjoy it but it wasn't one of the best stories from the Fear Street books that I have ever read but it sure was entertaining.

I give this 3 out of 5

"You won't believe it, but it's true." - From The Lost Girl

3.5 stars

I grew up reading R.L. Stine, so I had some nostalgic expectations of this being a fun, sort of creepy story I would love. I wasn't really expecting a predictable ghost story with so much gore. (seriously warning for the horses scene). Objectively, it is a good book; just not what some who read Gosebumps or pervious work may expect. The present day timeline seemed really unbeliveable in parts (just the way the characters acted, not the supernatural aspect!). The book's strength seemed to be vivid descriptions of deaths. The pacing is fast, which makes the book easy to get through. I was looking for more of a scary/creepy read, but I' sure sure other horror readers will find this a worthy ride.

Oh my goodness, what a great listening experience. The Lost Girl is a super fun audiobook! I felt all the nostalgia, all the chills, all the hilarious wacky over-the-top, spine-tingling teen horror moments...

In this story, a new student has arrived at Shadyside High. Lizzy is gorgeous, mysterious and seems to have her sights set on popular student, Michael.

Michael doesn't know what to think of Lizzy. Sure, she's odd, but she just moved here and she doesn't have any friends, they can at least be nice to her. Michael's girlfriend, Pepper, has a lot more to say about the Lizzy situation and it's not good. However, Lizzy is still able to infiltrate their friend group, mostly due to Michael's kindness.

During an afternoon of snowmobiling together, there's a horrific accident. After which the group of teens make a decision that ultimately comes back to haunt them. They begin to feel hunted and before long, bodies start dropping. Although many in the group believe the snowmobile accident is the cause of all their troubles, Pepper thinks Lizzy may be behind everything. Who's right?

This is the present perspective. There is also a past perspective, a horrific murder from 1950 that seems to be tied to the current tragedies. As the past and present perspectives begin to come together, the terrifying truth is revealed. Shadyside is a complex town with a long history of violence and mysterious happenings. This story is just one example of how crazy it can get!

I had so much fun reading this story. I haven't read a <i>Fear Street</i> book in over 20-years and this definitely brought back a lot of nostalgia for me. I think the audiobook format is an incredible way to take in this fun, fast-paced story. There are two narrators, one for the past perspective and one for Michael's present perspective.

While both were great, the narrator for Michael's perspective, Dan Bittner, really stole the show for me. He put so much energy into his reading. I was on the edge of my seat. I was so engaged. I was literally exclaiming things randomly out loud while listening. I just couldn't help it! It was fantastic.

Thank you so much to the publisher, Macmillan Audio, for providing me with a copy of this to read and review. It was such a good time and I am really looking forward to getting to the others. I know a lot of Readers are really going to enjoy these audiobooks!!!

Talk about "holy sh*t"… This book had some pretty gnarly scenes in it. It was awesome!

This very well might be one of my new favorites from R. L. Stine. I had the pleasure of listening to this baby on audiobook and man was it good. The storyline was great, the characters were on point and it sure hit with the creepy, horror that I was craving. I'm not even a little shocked that I enjoyed this so much.

The story follows two time lines, one where a young girl witnesses her fathers horrific murder and then runs for her life never to be seen again… Then we jump to 70 years later when a girl appears in the neighborhood and Michael can't seem to stay away from her even though there are lots of weird things about her and the things she does. Of course the time lines meet up at some point and we get to understand the full spectrum of the book. Stine always knows how to pull a good story together.

If you're a big fan of Stine's or just getting in to horror, I highly reccomend this one. The nostalgia alone for me being back on Fear Street has been great, but honestly, they really are just great books for beginner horror fans and young adults.

Bravo Stine, forever a fan!

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for a copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

Classic Fear Street! Are you in the 30+ crowd? Do you love nostalgia? Do you enjoy a quick read? This book is for you!

I was a huge fan of Fear Street (And RL Stine in general!) as a kid, and now as a 35 year old I really appreciate a healthy dose of nostalgia, so I was so excited to get this audiobook. If I wasn't working I would have finished it in a day. It has all the trademarks of the original story-- gruesome tales, some (but not a crazy amount) of paranormal activity, good cliff-hangers at the end of chapters, and a compulsively read-able, fast moving story.

The only criticism I have of this one is that the death in the beginning is really, really torturous and made me squirm as a grown adult, so I'm not really sure I'd be comfortable with a young kid reading it, or at what age I would be comfortable with a kid reading it.. I remember RL Stine having some pretty crazy things in his book, so maybe this is just par for the course, in which case I obviously wasn't scared by it so maybe it's fine for YA.

I grew up devouring the Fear Street books, and to this day the Shadyside High School cheerleaders still have a place in my heart for making me feel all the emotions. And maybe it is because I read the books so long ago that I find myself rating this relaunch title a 1 star.

But I'll be honest, I detested it. I kept at it because it was a review copy from Netgalley and Macmillan Audio, but oh my lord it was painful. Truthfully, it felt like the book was written in the mid 90s and just had a few updates to bring it to this techno era: creating a video game storyboard, the lack of use of smart phones that are mentioned sparingly, Facebook. The way the teens spoke felt forced and fake. Even parental involvement felt forced and fake: they don't bat an eye when a new girl they barely know barges into their home unannounced or invited.

And the audio... I think I would have enjoyed it better had I not listened to the audio, I do regret that tremendously. The female narrator was good, but the male was not. The voices, inflections, and volumes he used in the book felt not only forced and fake, but also took me out of the story. And I do believe one of the characters' voices changed towards the end.

The Lost Girl is the story of a young woman who witnesses the murder of her father in the 50s and is assumed murdered as well. 70 years later, a young man and his friends run over a man on a snowmobile, but they can’t find the body. When someone starts picking them off one by one, they wonder if they killed the man. And what’s up with the mysterious new girl in school?

This one gave me I Know What You Did Last Summer vibes with an extra layer of connecting a long ago mystery to current murders. It jumps back and forth in time, slowly connecting the stories in some expected ways, but there are still a few twists and turns to keep you guessing and turning the pages (or listening to the chapters) until the very end. Narrators Brittany Pressley and Dan Bittner did an excellent job. I was engaged the entire time, and even though it was a short read, I kept doing chores to keep listening last night and kept myself busy around my desk this morning to finish.

It was super entertaining without expecting a lot from me. Just what I needed. 😂

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was super super excited to get this audiobook thanks to @netgalley and the publishers, however I was slightly let down. The story has duel timelines however the past storyline was very underdeveloped. The present timeline was trying to hard to be hip and relevant and accurate with teens. Also I was not a fan of the male narrator and his attempt at sounding like a teenager. However, it IS R.L. Stine here and it feels just like it always did. Creepy, predictable, but still makes me feel uneasy reading/listening at night lol overall I’d recommend this book for a nice feeling of nostalgia but don’t expect much more than that. #netgalley #bookstagram #netgalleyreview #netgalleyreviewer #audiobook #speedreader #bookworm

This was interesting and did have the thriller aspects I associate with Fear Street but it wasn't as good as some of the older books. The time jumps were very quick and not always clear in the audiobook. It was intriguing but had some weird elements. The central focus of the character getting "killed" was confusing because they are then completely fine. The timeline was also unclear, what seems to have taken place across days might have been months and the reader wouldn't know. The main villain also seemed to know exactly what was going on after a few minutes which was odd and confusing. I am however excited to start to get more audiobooks in the fear street series it brings back so much nostalgia. I also love Brittany Pressley and I hope she narrates all the fear street books.

3.5 stars
I never read Goosebumps/R.L. Stine as a kid because I was way too much of a scaredy cat. This was my first Fear Street book and I enjoyed it. It was a little bit confusing at first because I had read the synopsis and the synopsis had totally different characters than a good chunk of the beginning of the book, so I thought I was reading a different book at first.
Once I figured out the timeline, both plots were intriguing (even though the past timeline was not a big part of the book). It was easy to figure out who the new girl was, but I think that was kind of implied. It was still a very creepy and scary story. Angel being someone Lizzy knew from her old school and being presumed dead after getting hit by a snowmobile but vanishing minutes later, like yikes! Him coming back and hurting all of Michael's friends, calling and sending him scary text messages just had me on the edge of my seat.
I guessed what the kind of "big reveal" was early on in the book but it didn't really take away from anything.
For a short book, the average R.L. Stine book, it was a complete story, it was all the spooky and creepy and I can't wait to read more of these books!

This one was hit and miss for me. Sometimes, I felt engaged. Other incidents within the book made me feel like I was disconnected from the story. However, R.L. Stine is the prince of horror and he delivered a book that gave just that — a horrific tale. This is perfect for YA.
