Summary: Typical horror for teens...
Review: It is 1867 and Elizabeth Nelson is working in a textile mill, separated from her twin brother Thomas. Her brother's ambition to be an artist has led him to seek employment with Peter Gustavson, a talented sculptor who builds strangely lifelike wax models. After a nightmare that convinces her that something terrible has happened to Thomas, Elizabeth and her friend Margaret journey to Cliff House, the home of the sculptor. The moment she arrives, she knows that something is wrong. The house is full of gruesome sculptures of death and terror and Thomas is nowhere to be seen. Soon Margaret is ill and Elizabeth begins to uncover the terrible secret of Cliff House. Determined to uncover the truth about her brother, she soon realises that to do this may result in her suffering Thomas's fate....

"Faces of Terror" is the thirteenth book in R.L.Stine's "Fear Street Sagas". The action was fast paced and actually scary in some parts, even if the plot was fairly typical and sometimes there wasn't enough explanation given. I would recommend it to fans of the series and of the author's other works. This wasn't the best of The Fear Street Sagas, but it was still pretty good. If you enjoyed "Faces of Terror", I would also suggest the Blair Witch Casefiles series, which are great for any teens who like to be scared.

Summary: Formula teen horror, but it works.
Review: This book definitley had a formula, but it worked. The ending was somewhat predictable, but I really liked the main character and the story did scare me. It was a bit weaker than some of the others, but it was enjoyable, and I guess that's what matters.

Rating: 5 stars
