Sweet Valley High #83: Steven's Bride

Image
Steven is home from SVU once again, and everyone acts like it's a huge deal even though he comes home all the time. This time, it's because Cara is about to head off for a trip to London with her mom. They all have suggestions for what she should do, but she says she'll probably be in the hotel by herself most of the time while her mom does business stuff. Steven gets her alone for a little moment and tells her how much he'll miss her. Though they have a sweet moment, he can't help noticing that she's not that excited. When she comes back, he's way too busy with school because he wants to get into some special law school program that will help him graduate faster. Cara asks to come up and see him, and he finally gives in as long as she lets him get his work done. She actually keeps coming onto him and kissing him. When he finally takes a break, she breaks down and tells him that her mom got a promotion and that they're moving to London...in th...

Fear Street Sagas #5: The Hidden Evil (R.L. Stine)

It's 1858 and Timothy Fier, 18-years old, gathers his friends together to tell them a horrible ghost story. He swears it's all true but that he changed the names because the real individuals now live in their same city. It's now the 1850s and Maggie and Henrietta are best friends and sisters. They buried their father that morning and are pretty sad about his passing since they lost their mother years ago. That's when the constable shows up with his men and some urgent news. It seems as though someone poisoned their father. When Henrietta makes a big deal out of how Maggie was home alone with her father the night he died after having a huge fight with him when he forbid her to see her beau, they decide to check her room. They find a vial of poison and immediately take her away to lady prison. There, she gets a rough haircut and new clothing that is unlike anything she ever wore before because she was always super rich. Her cell mate is a woman named Eliza...

The Nancy Drew Files #43: False Impressions (1990)

I'll be upfront and let you know that this review isn't as long or as good as most. This is what happens when you try to read and watch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend at the same time. Seriously though, how good was the first season of that show? I've seen every season, but the first one is my favorite. Anyway, Nancy is at her house with Bess and George when Ned shows up with two movies to watch. He's home from college on break, and Nancy promised that she would focus on him instead of solving a crime for once. Chief McGinnis shows up on her doorstep though with a lieutenant from the next town over. He's there to arrest Nancy. As it turns out, someone swindled a few people out of their money and gave him the name Nancy Drew. The lieutenant has her to do a line up with some other chicks with reddish blonde hair. Neither victim recognizes her as the Nancy Drew they know, so he lets her go. Mrs. Hackney, the first victim, sees her in the station and claims she...
