Why do I suddenly have such a bad feeling about Alex? Because you're sure as hell kidding yourself. Because I don't recall her being this dense. Anyway, I assume we're being led to believe, due to Corky's "bad feelings", that the evil is inhabiting Alex. Yeah, I'd buy that Over the weekend, Corky wrings her hands over Alex. He broke a date on Saturday night and Corky knows he was lying because his excuse sucked: Does he even HAVE a little sister? God, you're stupid, Corky! She stays home and plays Mortal Kombat with her brother Sean, the master of the known universe. Sunday afternoon, she goes to Debra's house where she comes upon Debra and Kimmy making sweet love by the fire to the sounds of Barry White.
Just kidding--they're conjuring up spirits! Corky unloads her problems with Alex on Kimmy because everyone hates Kimmy and Corky is no different.
The First Evil
Then Debra says the power will be stronger with all three of them chanting. I hate Debra and her psuedo voodoo queen, fake witchy poo bullshit. She's not even good at it! Corky asks where Debra got the book she's chanting from and Kimmy says it's from a used book shop. Yeah, because all used bookstores carry ancient spell books. Pay attention, you stupid ghostwriter! And since you've been leaving little hints here and there that Alex has gone crazy, we can safely assume that HE is possessed by the evil. Anyway, they chant and the walls start rattling. Instead of blaming it on an earthquake, they excitedly exclaim that the spirit is here.
Do these morons think for even a moment that they could've conjured something that is incredibly pissed off and wants to kill them? Debra calls to the spirit, but apparently it's as repulsed by her as everyone else is because it immediately disappears. Why do I torture myself? Anyway, Corky and Kimmy are watching the girls who are trying out to replace Hannah. They've narrowed it down to three: Corky and Kimmy squat in Ms.
Closter's office to discuss their decision. As soon as they leave the room, the EVIL strikes in the form of a screwdriver. A screwdriver lodged in Rochelle's neck. I'm no doctor, kids, but I think your little friend is dead. The girls don't think so even though Rochelle's blood is spurting everywhere, coating the walls.
Closter shows her stupidity by running over and saying "So much blood! Seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people? The girl is dying, but no-one seems to sense the urgency of the situation. Corky thinks Ivy was responsible because Ivy looks a little strange: Ivy wasn't smiling--was she?
Paramedics arrive and haul Rochelle's still breathing body to the hospital. Meanwhile, Corky is sobbing in Closter's office. But not for Rochelle. I mean, who cares about her, right?

Closter tells the girls they can leave and Ivy has the audacity to ask Corky who got the position. The girl has brass ones. Kimmy and Corky are horrified that Ivy could be so cold, but inform her that she got it. Lauren flips out and screams "I know why you didn't choose me. It's because of Alex and me! I don't give a damn about Alex's cheating ways. I'm only reading this turd for the psychotic Santa. Only he can save us now! Of course when anything bad happens, Corky runs to Debra. Again I ask WHY? She can do nothing but tell you the obvious--the evil wants your asses on a platter.
I just saved you pages of bullshit. So why do I still have pages left? Anyway, it's the following afternoon and since school is out, Corky is wasting her time at home with Deb. Corky mentions what Lauren said about Alex and I swear if this idiot does not break up with him, I am using this book as toilet paper. Hell, I'll probably do that anyway.
Corky blurts out that she called Alex 12 times and as soon as the phone rings, she dives for it. It's him and Corky cuts right to the chase. He says he helped Lauren with a project at her house last week, but that was it. Corky asks if he'd like to come over and study later, but he says he can't. This chick is completely braindead. She's ignoring the fact that her boy toy is a total slut and liar instead of calling that bitch out on his crimes! I used to like Corky When Corky returns to the living room, she's surprised to find Naomi talking with Debra. She has news--Lauren will be an alternate in case the EVIL decides to lay the smack down on anyone else.
And with any luck, it will. The next day is the tournament and the girls will be firing "cannons" loaded with confetti into the audience. Closter wants to test them tonight. Say goodbye to your head, Kimmy! Sadly, the cannon thing is a total disappointment--the blast snaps Heather's head back, she falls, and she's ok.
Second Evil
After practice, Kimmy and Debra catch up to Corky in the parking lot because they're worried about the fact that Ivy smiled when the cannon backfired. Maybe she's just one of those types that thinks it's funny when people get hurt. You saw it, dumbass! You're a pod person created by a mentally deranged ghostwriter who can't keep even simple plot points straight.
Corky starts crying and says she doesn't wanna face the EVIL because it's too scary. Debra comforts her by saying she Corky could be next.

When Corky gets home, she finds Alex wrestling with her brother. Don't worry--they're still dressed. When Sean sees Corky come in, he says "Guess you two want me to leave. So you can go smoochy smoochy. Please don't leave me alone with these two! Corky asks Alex why he came over and he says because he's excited about the tournament tomorrow.
He also says he needs to tell her something, but before he can, the doorbell rings. It's Jay and Corky really doesn't want him here because she wants Alex to keep talking. And now it's time for the tournament. The cheerleaders are doing their thing perfectly until they bring out the fire batons and Naomi catches fire. We find out that Kimmy put out Naomi's fire while everyone else stood around like trees. Naomi was pretty badly burned anyway. Suddenly they spot Ivy and Lauren beside the frozen river. Ivy is skating in some weird pattern because the acid just kicked in and Lauren is just watching because she was too afraid to take a hit.
The girls realize that Ivy is skating around a hole So it's settled--Ivy is evil and Debra wants to drown her. The next chapter is titled "A Surprise From Santa". This better be good. Corky is calling Alex to ask him to a party She says it's tomorrow afternoon and although he thinks it's a weird idea, he agrees to go.
They hang up and Corky thinks about how awesome the party will be for everyone except Ivy. The party sucks as much as we all thought it would. Corky gets on the ice and becomes dizzy. She looks up and sees my best friend Santa coming toward her on skates. His red cap waved behind him. His eyes--his eyes glowered menacingly at Corky.
He's holding a big pointy icicle and Corky freaks out because she's afraid he'll stab her. Don't tell me that's it!! There must be more Santa! He just wanted to make Corky laugh. You still suck, Alex. Debra, Corky, and Kimmy decide it's time to put their plan into action.
It involves the usual--candles in a circle, the mystical spell book, and chanting. They hear rumbling, the ice starts cracking, and thick black smoke comes pouring out. The girls have traveled to a nearby town for the tournament which I could've sworn already took place.

See full terms and conditions and this month's choices. The cheerleading camp is telling, showing a darker side of Corky than we had ever seen before, even before we knew she had the evil spirit inside of her. She isn't bland here, but amazingly resourceful even in her own weakness at times. I like that, her being both human and hero. It makes the whole story come together.
Both sisters, the main characters of this trilogy, dying in water, and both being reborn in a way, Bobbi being a spirit of good, and Corky living in the end. I really like this book. It has a lot to offer even if you have to read the second book to get a lot of it.
See a Problem?
The convenient characters are gone, replaced by Corky's own resourcefulness, and while the other cheerleaders don't factor in the story as much as previous books, the focus on Corky as a character especially as a character I thought was bland and uninteresting before this book really worked well. I'm glad it ended up working that way. There is some horror to be had here, even if it is kind of heady horror.
I think the book has a very psychological slant to it that makes it fascinating and not a slasher story so much as a possession story with a twist. I think it's a fitting book for itself and for the series. I liked it quite a bit and recommend it completely for everybody to read even if it is a horror book and series for teenage girls.
FEAR STREET: Cheerleaders: The Third Evil
It's good and worthy of a look. This is one of my favorite horror series, and while the second book wasn't great, the series itself wasn't disappointing. I was glad to read through them all again. We'll get to another eventually, but that seriously could be years from now.
