           Two separate people cartwheeled off a cliff in this book. It actually says the words, "a perfect cartwheel to his death." I think that is all one needs to know about this book.

I gotta say that the cover was what first drew me in, along with the title.. and jm so glad that indexided to pick it up.. This totally brought back the nostalgia from my childhood in the 90s when I religiously collected R.L. Stines Goosebump series. I would definitely pick up more in the return to fear street series

3.5 rounded up! 

Admittedly, You May Now Kill the Bride was my introduction to Fear Street; when I was younger, the only R.L. Stine books I consumed were the Goosebumps series. I have a lot of catching up to do. However, I’m still very excited to see R.L. Stine return to his Young Adult horror series with Return to Fear Street!

You May Now Kill the Bride definitely has the R.L. Stine ~vibes~ that a lot of us grew up with & it’s a perfect R.L. Stine introduction for the newer generation. A lot of the reading was cheesy & I laughed out loud multiple times, but that definitely was expected with this reading material. R.L. Stine manages to write proper teenage dialogue; at one point, Harmony’s twin brother retorts with, “I’ve got eyes.” & listen, I can’t even begin to count how many times I’ve used that rebuttal & thought that I was clever as a teen.

R.L. Stine’s You May Now Kill the Bride is filled with so many twists & turns. In general, it was clear who the big bad would be; yet, it was other minor things here & there that caused me to gasp & keep me on the edge of my seat. Destiny & I had a daily schedule breaking down the chapters for our buddy read & each day, I was left on a cliff-hanger.

I absolutely adored a little The Shining shout-out in You May Now Kill the Bride; or at least, I can assume it was a shout-out to the Stephen King novel, as one of the characters actually stays in a room 237. Me, a constant sucker for a horror reference.

You May Now Kill the Bride by R.L. Stine is a book I’d recommend you keep on your radar. It’s not very long & the pages go by so quick. It’s a perfect book if you’re looking for something not too heavy, but still a good time.
