Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-23 00:00:00 David Walsh Steven is not useless in this one - at least at first. He saves little Andrew Riccoli from a fire started by Freddy Krueger - I mean Eva Sullivan. Then his plot goes back to being the worst. He and Joe are competing for the attention of a girl named Karen whose lawn they mow. The loser who cannot ask her out first has to join the twins in babysitting the Riccoli kids. Steven loses, obviously, because he thinks he is hot shit but isn’t. Now on to the purpose of these books. Alice is still being shady about the Riccoli mansion and what she knows. But, as it turns out, Amy, Winston, and Todd’s parents all know something about Eva Sullivan as well. But none of them are fessing up. We get flashbacks that are clearly leading to disaster... it’s obvious Eva is dead, because she is haunting everyone in their dreams... and out to kill them as well. Now the twins and Todd are all being stalked by Eva. Amy, Todd, and Winston come together to help the twins get through a weekend of babysitting the kids. Jessica thinks they can stay awake with coffee, but it turns out to be decaf, and Jess doesn’t make it right. So then Amy suggests they play board games to stay awake. That sounds like an idiotic idea to me but whatever. Then Jess comes up with a plan to stay awake that involves everybody sleeping in 15 minute intervals. Only Winston wakes up and trips over the alarm clock cord at one point, while Eva cackles to the reader that all her plans are coming together. None of them recognize lucid dreaming for what it is, but Liz somehow knows that if they wake up after five minutes Eva won’t have time to get to them in their dreams. But after the alarm clock doesn’t work, they all head up (in the same dream, apparently) to the roof of the house, where Eva traps them. That’s where the story ends, for now. Next is the conclusion that I’m hoping has 100% more Eva and 100% less Steven.
