This review is from: House of Whispers (Fear Street Sagas #2) (Mass Market Paperback)

When Amy Pierce's father is injured at war, her mother is off to help him, while Amy will be staying at her cousin Angelica Fear's house. However, Amy soon begins to learn that behind all of Angelia's riches and beauty, there is terror. Many people are afraid of her, and some rumors say that Angelia practices dark magic and uses it to kill.

Amy doesn't believe any of this. Until she starts to get an unpleasant fealing in Angelica's home. Something is watching her...something not human. She's sure that something isn't right when many deaths start to happen. Amy must find out quickly if she really is living with a murderer. But she better be careful, because anything she does might cause her to end up dead.

HOUSE OF WHISPERS is a pretty interesting novel, especially for fans of Fear Street. A little problem I had was that at some points, it seemed like R.L. Stine forgot the story was about horror, and it became a romance novel. And the surprise ending isn't really much of a surprise. But it will definitely scare you, and have you gripping on the edge of your seat from the beginning to end.

This review is from: House of Whispers (Fear Street Sagas #2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I think R.L.Stine's 'House of Whispers' is the best book I've ever read. (well I haven't read the new Fear Street Senior series yet, but I will soon!) It's about this really beautiful women with black hair and green eyes. Angelica Fear. She have evil powers and most people say the Fears' are cursed. Angelica's cousin, Amy Pierce doesn't believe that but she is going to stay at The New Orleans, The Fear Mansion because her father was hurt badly in war and her mother went to see how he was doing. Amy senses that something is going wrong in the big mansion and in the end, she is very dangerous.

Read this book. All Stine's fans' will enjoy this book. I bet you.
