This book was okay, it was about two women were said to be witches and were burned at the stake. I didn't read the books in order, but it helped me to better understand the second book, The Secret. By reading this book it gave more information of Susannah, Martha and William Goode and also their family history on witches, I was able to figure out why the Goodes and Fiers were feuding. The book wasn't so great because of the whole idea of the story. Witches are exciting but there were no witches...just lies and betrayals.
The story takes place a long ago, because there are no witches to this day(that we know of) The story is about a poor girl named Susannah who is in love with a rich boy named Edward Fier. Around that time, people who were thought or said to be witches were burned alive on a stake that was stuck in the ground. When Benjamin Fier finds his son is in love with a poor girl, he gets angry. Benjamin goes to Susannah's house and accuses her and her mother Martha of having powers of the dark arts. William is the one with the powers though, powers that Martha and Susannah don't know about would he let his wife and daughter burn, or would he go as far as dieing for the ones he loves....
I recommend this book to any one who is a fan of R. L. Stine or enjoys books about magic and witchcraft. This book wasn't the best but it was Goode.
An intriguing story with a chilling climax

I decided to read a few of R. L. Stine's work after a long time. Unable to put the book down, I finished reading it within a few hours, and was not disappointed when I finished. This just show that Mr. Stine can keep a reader of any age interested in his books.
`The Betrayal' by R.L. Stine is the first book in the `Fear Street Saga' series. The story starts off with Nora Goode, a girl who runs out of a burning mansion, frantically searching for someone named Daniel, hoping that he escaped the fire too. After she sees the horrors of the mansion burning, she writes down a story which takes place 300 years before; about a gruesome tale of a feud between two families that would last on for centuries.
We go back in time to 1692 and meet the members of two families, The Goodes and the Fiers. Benjamin Fier, the Magistrate, and his brother Matthew Fier, are one of the most trusted and rich people in the Wickham Village. William Goode is a simple farmer, who lives with his wife Martha and their children, 16 years old Susannah and baby George. Susannah is in love with Edward Fier, son of Benjamin. Susannah and Edward secretly meet in the woods and declare their love for one another. However, things start going very wrong when Edward tells Benjamin about his love for the farmer's daughter.
`The Betrayal' definitely lives up to its name. People in this book get betrayed in love and money between their enemies and loved ones. The book ends in a very mysterious note, which urges you to buy the next book in the series `The Secret' and continue reading.
This is a good book to read. With an intriguing story and a chilling climax, you will not be able to stop reading.
good!
