CHAIN LETTER: Chain Letter was fun and campy. It was very much like I Know What You Did Last Summer but with chain letters. It was a quick read, and I loved that the Caretaker’s tasks got more severe after the first round of humiliating tasks that each of the main characters did. 

The only thing I didn’t like was that there was an attempt to make the Kindle version more modern. It took me out for a second because up until I read the word DVD player I thought that it was the ’80s since none of the characters act like 2013 teens. I feel like trying to update the book was such a weird thing to do, because if you’re going to bother doing it at all, why not just make the letter an email? It would’ve made more sense instead of just throwing some modern tech in an ’80s book to make it more relatable to 2013 teens. It just made me want to read the original book because I need to know if anything else was changed. 

ANCIENT EVIL: I found Ancient Evil to be both weird and boring. This had all of the same characters as the first one, with two new characters that are sort of just there to move the plot. Most of the characters from the first book are barely in this, and everybody feels so flat compared to the first one. 

Half of the book is just Alison and Tony teen drama, and then the other half is a satanic cult that likes to send out chain letters (I’ll probably never understand why a satanic cult would do that in the first place). 

I’d skip this one and just read Chain Letter, as this one feels unnecessary.
