BLURB:
Morgan Marks is the new girl—and nobody can stop talking about her.

She’s popular, smart, and beautiful. Everyone wants to be her friend.

Now Shadyside Homecoming is just around the corner. And Morgan’s dark secrets are about to be dug up for all the world to see.


MY REVIEW:
'Drop Dead Gorgeous' (Return to fear street book #3) by R.L Stine is a teen horror novel revolving around six teenagers living in a small town called Linden, and what happens in their lives when a new girl named Morgan Marks comes to live in that town.

Morgan Marks, a new student at Linden High School, is smart and attractive. Nobody can take their eyes off her, especially the boys can't stop swooning over her. Although they do feel that there is some uncanny aura around her, they don't seem to be bothered! Soon strange things start happening in Linden, followed by murders. Then there is a vampire hunter in the scene who claims that the killer is none other than a vampire!

Well, Well, Well, I won't say anything more! Read the book to find out more about this story.

One of the plus points of this book is its narrative style which was fast-paced and engaging. There was a spooky vibe throughout the story. I found the characters very stupid. I mean I get it that Morgan is very beautiful and attractive but then she doesn't say properly where she came from or where is she living in Linden, her previous school records are missing and her sense of humor is literally terrific! And the only thing these teens talk about is how beautiful she is!

The author has incorporated stuff like vampires and zombies in the novel. Many of you might find it weird, but we all grew up reading/watching series like 'The Twilight Saga', 'The Vampire Diaries', 'Dracula' and etc! (although the book is not even remotely close to these series). So what I mean is that if you like reading supernatural mysteries, then this book won't disappoint you.

Also, how can I not talk about the ending?! It was totally unexpected!

All in all, 'Drop Dead Gorgeous: Return To Fear Street #3' was an enjoyable read for me. I like reading/watching supernatural stuff no matter how kiddish/weird it might seem! And if you are like me, then you will definitely enjoy reading this book.
