    About this audiobook

    Watch the movies, listen to the audiobooks! The Fear Street movies are coming to Netflix this summer!

    Generations of children and teens have grown up on R.L. Stine's bestselling and hugely popular horror series, Fear Street and Goosebumps. Now, the Fear Street series is back with a chilling new installment, packed with pure nightmare fodder that will scare Stine's avid fan base of teen listeners and adults.

    Fear     Street is one of the bestselling young adult series of all time. Now, with Party Games, R.L. Stine revives this phenomenon for a new generation of teen listeners.

    Her friends warn her not to go to Brendan Fear's birthday party at his family's estate on mysterious Fear Island. But Rachel Martin has a crush on Brendan and is excited to be invited. Brendan has a lot of party games planned. But one game no one planned intrudes on his party—the game of murder. As the guests start dying one by one, Rachel realizes to her horror that she and the other teenagers are trapped on the tiny island with someone who may want to kill them all. How to escape this deadly game? Rachel doesn't know whom she can trust. She should have realized that nothing is as it seems… on Fear Island.

    R.L. Stine makes his triumphant return to Shadyside, a town of nightmares, shadows, and genuine terror, and to the bestselling series that began his career writing horror for the juvenile market, in the new Fear Street audiobook Party Games.

      Okay, seriously, why is this chick reading this book Like it's a goddamn fabio porn novel
    • 5/5
      HAHA! R. L. Stine is back on Fear Street ladies and gentlemen! Such a fantastic little horror novel. Rachel is not as athletic as her sister. Or as talented, or as smart, or even as pretty. She seems to feel like the odd man out in any given situation. So when a handsome, although strange and mysterious, boy asks her to come to his birthday party Rachel is ecstatic! The problem? The party is taking place in a haunted castle-like mansion on an island only inhabited during the summer months. A small group is attending this party... but will they make it back alive when there are no rules to these party games? Ok, right off the bat, I'm a Goosebumps fan. I've been reading Stine since I was young. Love his works! I read this book for a Buddy Read on Litsy and I gotta say that I'm glad I did. This was such a fun little read! Suspense, horror, gore, intrigue with a hint of puppy love... Stine does not disappoint in this relaunch of the Fear Street series. I look forward to reading the other installments.

      Stine with this new series brought back a whole level of nostalgia that I love. Party Games was a quick, easy read that I read in one day. With a few quirky plot twists it kept you interested until the very last page. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this little gem.

      Loved R.L. Stine. You never saw me without one of his books! So this was a fun little throwback to the Fear Street gang. Quick, easy read with a couple fear street twists!

      I’ve been wanting to read this book since I learned that Stine had published a new one. I hadn’t read any Fear Street novel, but I really liked the Goosebumps books when I was a child and must have read over two dozens of them. Having never read any of this series, I can say that Party Games is a book that anybody can read, without feeling a negative impact from the lack of knowledge of the rest of the series.

      What I liked most was the first half of the plot, which has a similar argument as And Then There Were None, including an isolated island where mobile phones don’t get any signal, but the deaths have a common theme: Party games. I thought that it was a very original way of linking all the deaths, considering that they all happen during a birthday party.

      I didn’t like the rest of the book as much, except for the ending, that leaves you wondering if this is just a contemporary novel or if there are any paranormal elements. After the first half, the book loses the horror parts a bit and it starts looking more like an adventure novel. It’s not that I don’t like adventure novels, but I had started this book thinking that all of it would be more like the first half.

      Another thing that I didn’t like so much was the lack of development of the characters. It’s not that they were completely flat, but there wasn’t much information about them either, not even about the main ones, and, in the case of the secondary characters, some were just a little bit more than stereotypes.

      It is in general not a bad book to have a good time reading, especially at night...

      -----------------------------------------------------------------------

      He querido leer este libro desde que me enteré que Stine había publicado uno nuevo. No había leído ninguno de Fear Street, pero me gustaba mucho los libros de Pesadillas cuando era pequeña y he debido de leer más de dos docenas de ellos. No habiendo leído nunca ninguno de esta serie, puedo decir que Party Games es un libro que puede leer cualquiera, sin que la falta de conocimientos de lo que pasa en el resto de la serie perjudique la lectura de este libro.

      Lo que más me gustó fue la primera mitad de la trama, que tiene un argumento similar a Diez Negritos, incluyendo una isla aislada en la que no hay cobertura, pero las muertes tienen un tema común: los juegos. Me pareció una manera muy original de unir las muertes, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que suceden en una fiesta de cumpleaños.

      El resto del libro me gustó algo menos, salvo el final, que te deja con la intriga de si se trata de una novela únicamente contemporánea o si hay también algún elemento paranormal. Pasada la primera mitad, el libro pierde un poco la parte de terror y se empieza a parecer más a una novela de aventuras. No es que no me gusten las novelas de aventuras, pero había empezado el libro pensando que sería todo como la primera mitad.

      Otro punto que también me gustó algo menos fue lo poco desarrollados que estaban los personajes. No es que fueran completamente planos, pero tampoco había demasiada información ni siquiera de los principales y, en el caso de los secundarios, algunos llegaban a ser sólo poco más que estereotipos.

      En general no es un mal libro para pasar un buen rato leyendo, sobre todo de noche…

      This book was exactly what I expected from a Fear Street novel.
    • 3/5
      “Someone is definitely playing games with us,” Geena said. “Only…” Her voice broke. “Murder isn’t a game.”17-year-old Rachel Martin is ecstatic when her crush Brendan Fear invites her to his birthday party that he’s having on Fear Island. (She’s so ecstatic she doesn’t even let the issue of finding a dead animal between her sheets stop her!) The group of kids invited to the party take a boat to the island and problems start as soon as they arrive. Party Games is actually the first of six books Stine is planning as a new addition to his popular Fear Street series.Party Games had a definite And Then There Were None feel to it, just with high school-ers, some decidedly cheesy moments and a consistent lack of common sense that failed to thrill. I was actually expecting a supernatural flair to this but that twist never came. It was interesting and had definite moments of excitement, but my younger self had been mentally squealing since I snagged a copy of this so I had some fairly high expectations.For me, reading Party Games was a bit of an experiment. I was obsessed with R.L. Stine when I was a kid and I remember a time when I read nothing but Goosebumps and Fear Street books. It was the initial start to my love of horror novels, no matter how cheesy they were. And cheesy they are, or at least my adult self certainly thinks so. My younger self is slightly offended though. I took a stroll down memory lane and felt 12 years old again by picking this one up and despite my change in standards for what constitutes a ‘good book’ it was fun for that fact alone. Whatever helped me build my love of reading, be it cheesy Goosebumps or cliché Twilight books, I can only smile and be thankful for them.

      ...so here I was, just browsing NetGalley, and here I see an R.L STINE novel. And I'm like what?! And then I see it is a FREAKING FEAR STREET NOVEL and I'm like what, whaaaaat?! REQUEST REQUEST REQUEST!!! And the galley gods smiled at me and said, let there be Party Games: A Fear Street Novel. Amen.Five stars for nostalgia's sake, I say. FIVE STARS. It was SO FUN to return to Fear Street after all these years. R.L. Stine scared the CRAP out of me when I was younger with his Fear Street trilogy (or whatever it was) dealing with the Fear family backstory. I don't remember TOO much about the Fears - other than witchcraft, burning mansions, woods... and BEING SCARED OUT OF MY MIND by these books as a preteen/teenager. I had to read this, and now that I have, I just might take a return visit to Fear Street and reread the books of my past. Because R.L. Stine is nothing if not a good, suspenseful, twisty-turny time. For some reason(maybe because the book is set on an island or involves the systematic reduction of said island's inhabitants), I drew a comparison to this book and [book:And Then There Were None|16299]. Our heroine, Rachel, a gal next-door trying to do good by her parents while romancing the dark-and-distant wealthy heir at the same time she is trying to escape from her possessive ex-boyfriend, scores an invitation to an exclusive party on Fear Island. There, she has been invited to celebrate Brendan Fear, her aforementioned crush and wealthy heir to the Fear family fortune. But has Brendan also inherited the Fear family curse? Will Rachel be able to win her heartthrob's attention - while escaping the island alive?Coming soon to your street September 30th. Honest, it's just as fun as you remember!
