The setting affects the mystery because the setting is actually in a big scary mansion, sitting on top of a hill, there are gravestones on the way up the hill, and it stands on the creepiest street in the little town, Fear Street. The fact is that no one in the school exactly knows her that well and she doesn't know much about others either (except for the people she invited to the party, but we find that out at the end of the story), yet she invites these different people to come to her Halloween party. It is suspenseful because the author uses great detail in describing what is happening while the fire is about to burn and kill all the teens.The mystery that must be solved is why the mysterious gorgeous new student invited only a certain amount of people and only those people to her Halloween party. It is also suspenseful because this is when the teens are in the house, where there is a fire going on, and they can't get out because the host trapped them in there and wants them all to get burned in the fire. This is because this is where all the little things in the story come together and starts to explain itself. The part of the story where I feel is most suspenseful is towards the end. This is about a small number of teens getting invited to a mysterious party on Halloween. The book I read is "Halloween Party," by R.L. For a book that's outdated in many ways, this non-ableism was a welcome variance to some of the 80s and 90s paperbacks I've read in the last couple years.
Where many YA romances make a man's jealousy attractive, Niki's not having it.
And I love that she refuses to let the men in her life act as if she's property to be owned. Niki is the most relatable, likable person in the entire story. She's also average, yet her boyfriend adores her and there's even a bit of a love triangle. And she's the hero-saving everyone from burning to death. Thus, I'm rating it how I would've rated it as a 12-year-old (die-hard) fan of the Fear Street series.One detail I didn't remember from my first reading almost 30 years ago: Niki Meyer is deaf. Fast forward 8 years and I finally re-read it. So I decided to dig it out of storage and re-read it. I read Halloween Party back in '90 when it first came out, but when I joined GR and started rating everything I could remember reading throughout my life, I couldn't remember its exact details.
