This one is a little different from the others, but it’s still a lot of people wanting Reva dead. I want to see skeletons dressed in Santa costumes or something. They decided to kidnap Reva, and after a few failed attempts manage to snatch her up. Anyway, Reva is working on stealing her cousin’s boyfriend (she did the same thing in Silent Night to another girl) and, the new inept teenager trio is Diane, her boyfriend Pres, and his brother Danny. Don’t let the cover fool you though – there are no murderous Santas in this one.
Her dad thinks the way for her to recover from this is by having her work the Dalby’s perfume counter again. Silent Night 2 kicks off with Reva suffering some mild PTSD from the last book. After all this, Reva decides to turn over a new leaf. Anyway, Mickey’s Dad dies by electrocution via Christmas tree after trying to attack Reva. Told you a lot of people want Reva hurt or dead. Oh, but, wait they are just yet another red herring for the real antagonist who is actually Mickey’s Dad. Of course, they are teenagers so they screw it all up. They decide to break into Dalby’s to avenge Mickey’s Dad who was fired by Mr. This dude is just the red herring though for the inept teenage trio of Mickey, Clay, and Reva’s cousin Pam. In Silent Night, one guy is sending Reva threatening gifts such as blood in cologne bottles or tricking her with needles in her lipstick (pretty creative, Stine – I still remember this moment decades later) because of the way Reva treats his girlfriend.
Dalby insists on Reva working there so she will learn important life lessons like being an asshole to poor people. Dalby fires people a lot, so the folks of Shadyside not only dislike Reva, but also hate her Dad. Anyway, Reva’s “Daddy” (because rich girls only call their fathers “Daddy”) owns the local department store Dalby’s which employs many of the Shadyside folk. “Promptness is such a boring virtue.” ( Silent Night)Īpparently, she’s such a snot because her mother died a few years prior, but really Reva ends up being the girl you love to hate, and you understand perfectly why everyone wants to off her, but I guess you’re supposed to root for her because she’s the protagonist with the dead mom. Our main protagonist is redheaded Reva Dalby, the richest bitch in all of Shadyside. SummaryĪll three of the Silent Night books follow a pretty similar formula which makes summing them up fairly easy. Also, there’s an abundance of turtlenecks. The first three of these delightfully festive covers are by fan favorite (nominated as such by this fan) Bill Schmidt while the others I found on Goodreads and just seemed worth sharing.
