Killer's Kiss is an easy to read fast flowing storyline that although a little predictable it has enough twists that keep the reader questioning what they think is going on is actually what is. R.L. Stine has written a substantial number of books marketed at children, young adults and adults and the publishing company has decided to place Killer's Kiss in the Young Adult category. Whilst some of Stine's childrens' fiction is a bit basic for adults or specifically written to only appeal to a specific age market this is not so with Killer's Kiss. Killer's Kiss is a simple and easy to read book but contains enough storyline substance that those who read most of their books from the adult fiction novel level won't still enjoy this. It also doesn't use teenage specific vocabulary (which would date the book extremely fast if it did) meaning those who are no longer teens can still follow it as well and in ten years time the next generation of young adults will still enjoy it as well.

Killer's Kiss is the story of a the self centred huge egod popular highschool boy (Vincent) and the affect his desire to manipulate two former best friends into believing he is dating each of them exclusively and convincing them the other is just jealous and delusional. Delia and Karina (the two girls) have been competing against each other their whole lives with Delia usually being pipped at the post by Karina. Delia has had enough of this and won't have what she believes to be her current boyfriend stolen from her. Karina has also had enough of what she believes to be Delia wanting everything she has. Throw in a talent contest and you've got an unhealthy competition that's deadly serious!

Although I thought this book would be kind of wack it turned out 2 be a great book. And the ending is so shocking. This was one of my first fear street books and know I read a book of Fear street almost everyday. This book is surprising and u wont let it down until your finish it. A thriller

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes R.L. Stine novels or to anyone who likes a good suspense novel. The plot is that these two girls who have always hated each other and go after the same things, like this guy named Vincent. Both of the girls think he is dating them exclusively, but he's playing both of them. The ending is very unpredictable and interesting

overall, a very good book and storyline, the writing, is a bit slacked, sometimes, there's just too much of a description! you don't realy need to know so much.. and when u read the end.. it's like, but that's what i THOUGHT!!! hehe

this book was one of the coolest books written by r.l.stine. the storyline is great and revolves around delia and katrina,two girls who have been enemies since kindergarten . THE two are bieng fooled by Vincent (supposedely their boyfriend)who cannot decide as to whom he likes better. the twist in the story comes when Vincent is killed. the end is totally amazing and unexpected. a great book to read.

Synopsis: Delia Easton and Karina Frye have always been competing with one another since they were kids, on clothes, grades and friends, and now over Vincent Milano. What they don't realize is that Vincent, a boy who they both like, is secretly dating both of them and enjoying it. Needless to say, Karina finds out about Vincent and Delia, and thinks that Delia was trying to steal Vincent from her.

Later, Karina sees Delia in the gym and starts strangling her and threatens to kill her. Afterward, Delia feels like Karina is up to something, especially when she sees Karina talking with Stewart Andrews - her stiffest competition for the Conklin Award, besides Karina. Delia's worst nightmare comes true when she opens her guitar case on the stage during the award show, only to find her strings in her guitar cut, and a decomposing rat jammed inside the guitar hole. Her troubles are far from over, and when she gets a second chance to show her talent, someone ruins her painting at the show. Delia realizes that Karina is dangerous and wants to see her fail in everything important to her. Can Delia stop Karina from stealing her boyfriend, her future, her life?

Review: I enjoyed reading this book. It had a classic Fear Street storyline, strange characters, gruesome incidents, and lots of twists. One of the main reasons why I enjoyed it was to see Vincent get exactly what he deserved for being a disgusting character dating all those girls. Some moments in this book were gross to read, like when Delia sees a decomposing rat in her guitar case.

Similar to other Fear Street books, Stine manages to give an unexpected twist in the end to shock the readers, but when he does this, I find loopholes in the storyline that don't make sense. Don't get me wrong, I loved the ending of this book, but it just made think of a few incidents that didn't add up. For example, at the Conklin Award, after the incident, Delia sees Karina speak with Sarah and they both walk out together, although no explanation is provided for this. I just feel like if Stine had given more details towards the end of the book to cover every mysterious incident that took place, I would have enjoyed this book more.

Anyway, other than that, this is a good Fear Street book to read, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes the series.

Delia and Karina are competing against each other for everything. Their newest price is Vincent.

One of very few Fear Street disappointments. No surprises here unfortunately. It was just boring...

KILLER'S KISS IS AN AWESOME VALENTINE'S DAY STORY. THE KILLER IS A HUGE SHOCKER, BUT THE END WAS KIND OF CORNY. BUT ANYWAY IT IS STILL A GREAT FEAR STREET BOOK. I TOTALLY RECOMMENED IT!

Once you start to read it you start to freak out of what happends to the characters but when the end starts to appear you would be shocked of what happens.

I have read just about all the R.L. Stine books and this one definitely comes out on top. It had an unpredictable ending. It was sooooooo good. Do yourself a favour and read it.
