![]() ![]() The Fiers more or less run the village while the Goodes are simple, if a little poor, villagers. The 1692 timeline serves as a setup for the beginning of the “relationship” between the Fiers and the Goodes who are two families living in Wickham Village. Once the 1692 timeline is introduced, readers spend most of the time there with little breaks back to 1900 when Nora needs a break from writing. She then sets about writing down the history of the Fears (once known as the Fiers) and the Goodes which is what leads to the 1692 timeline with Susannah Goode. The books opens with Nora’s timeline as she watches her home burn down with family and husband inside. The books jumps back and forth between two timelines: one in 1900 which follows Nora Goode and one in 1692 which follows Susannah Goode. I didn’t pick this book up looking for scares but rather to have fun in the horror genre and because I had finished Netflix’s Fear Street saga over the summer which was inspired by R.L. Stine’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? will enjoy Stine’s classic style. ![]() This particular YA novel I would place for those around 14 years old, although anyone who grew up with R.L. Keep in mind, most will place young adult (YA) fiction as fiction for those between 12 years old and 18 years old. Stine’s The Betrayal is a (technically) young adult fiction horror novel. ![]()
