This book was a great story of black magic and mystery. It makes you think, do you really know your family, i mean really, really know them? when you go tovisit a family member, most of the time thier house seems strange maybe there are even a couple of rumers about it, but with Amy pierce, there were rumers of unspeakable death, and strange powers, i would tell anyone...

I was so excited about reading this book because everyone told me it was good. WRONG! Don't read this book!!!!!!!!! It is totally Predictable. Come on! Angelica collects blood from dead bodies, and tells Amy she has magic powers. Where is the suspence? I suggest reading The NEW YEARS PARTY or The Hidden Evil if you want a suspenseful scare

4.0 out of 5 stars You will never be allowed to leave., December 2, 2004
By 
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, May 12, 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy Thrills, May 22, 2003
A Kid's Review
House of Whispers by R.L. Stine is a scary story about a girl facing murder.

Amy is a seventeen year old girl who's dad was wounded while fighting in the civil war. Amy's mother had to go tend to his wounds, and sent Amy off to her cousin Angelica Fear's mansion. Amy has to help Angelica with her five kids while her husband is away. Amy has heard many rumors of Angelica practicing the dark arts. Julia, one of Angelica's daughters, told Amy about a gruesome story about an evil column of faces that roamed the house at night. It petrifies your body with fear. It eats you, flesh, bone, and blood. Amy saves Mrs. Hathaway, Angelica's next door neighbor, from a water moccasin and meets her son, David, and immediately falls in love. David was also wounded in the war, and has a sling and an eye patch. Throughout the book there are three deaths and Angelica tells Amy David is the killer. Amy finds out she has a power, the same as Angelica's, but stronger.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I give this book a 9. It had a lot of `cliff hangers' at the end of each chapter. The characters were really believable. R.L. Stine used great descriptive human characteristics. This book keeps you emotionally involved until the end. The plot will keep you guessing the rest of the book.

I personally liked this book, because it had a great story line. It was addicting to read, and I was really interested. This book is like a ghost story that never ends. It also has a romance that will last forever, and can conquer all. I recommend this book to all ghost story lovers. I would also recommend it to people who like mysteries, and can stand gruesome deaths.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review by Patricia's Particularity, October 7, 2011
Amy Pierce is sent to stay with her cousin, Angelica Fear, and her children while Amy's mother is taking care of her father from being wounded in war. Amy has heard some rumors about the Fear family and their involvement in the dark arts. But Amy refuses to believe in idle gossip... but things change the moment she walks across the threshold of the Fear Mansion. Right away Amy feels something is not right, confirmed when her cousin shows her a pack of tarot cards, which literally call to her! Form then on Amy is surrounded by death, and it could be her own... Amy finds solace in Angelica's neighbor, David... that is until she starts to have visions of David being the cause of all the death surrounding her. Who can she trust?

Once again R.L. Stine has created a wonderful and engaging story of fear. And once again R.L. Stine has created wonderful yet gruesome images that will leave you haunted...

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best, June 8, 2008
By 
Being a long time fan of the Fear Street series, I've read all of the books and own a majority of them, and I've found that I particularly like the ones which go back in time and feature the members of the Fear family.

This one is about a girl named Amy, who goes to stay with her cousin Angelica Fear (the wife of Simon fear) and discovers that the rumors of Angelica being into the dark arts to be true. Its predictable, as most of these books are, but its not cheesy like they usually tend to be
