by Christy Sloat (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (239)
The Brown house isn’t a house you want to mess with. It’s that place where you and your friends go on a dare, but no one is brave enough to go inside, and if they do, they come out screaming. So when Brylee Branson and her family move in, it's not long before the evil things lurking in corners come out to play. Brylee just wants to acclimate to her new school but the ghosts in the house don’t make that easy. You see Brylee has a gift, one that the dead need and if she can’t help them they’ll make her friends pay with their lives.

Editorial Reviews

Review

To say that I loved this book is totally an understatement. The character of Brylee fits her role perfectly. Her character had a positive self image, something that being popular had nothing to do with. I thought the positive messages of peer pressure and being content in your own skin were totally great. If you're looking for a great scary read, with a fast-paced, visually stimulating plot that will have your heart pounding and even the hair on the back of your neck standing up just a bit, then pick up The Brown House by Christy Sloat.

    The Perfect Halloween story!!!!!!!

    ****warning if you're a scaredy cat like me....do not read this at night*************
    Can everyone say wienie. Yes that's me, the biggest winnie ever. But I took on the task. I enjoyed
    it and found myself, needing to solve the mysteries.

    This is a must read for October. What do you do when you parents bring you to your new
    house, first the outside is scary, ergo "The Brown House" then it is embedded within a bunch of trees.
    Walking into the house you find a stairwell that has no lights, (good freakin grief) and one of the bedrooms
    on the second floor is lock! No one has been able to unlock it for years. This house has 3 floors, with a basement, that is filled with old journals and spooky things. What happens when you go down in the basement? The freakin
    door closes on you. The rocking chair, rocks by itself. The door opens on their own. I'll tell you what I would do, RUN people RUN!

    Holy smokes this Author wrote a ghost story, combined with love and mystery. Brylee Branson,
    the heroine of the story was bold and brave. She discovers that she can talk to ghosts and has
    to literally find the witches that put a curse on the ghost of the house. I loved Ephraim and Lyn. What a great
    combination for Brylee. And then there was Kayla. She was a ghost but you can not help but to be completely
    engrossed with her. As I personally read through story, I had chills running down my arms. I often had to glance around
    to make sure nothing was moving or flying around.

    The Author does a fantastic job of creating great characters. Christy has a talent for keeping you on
    the edge of your seat with anticipation. This book is a thrilling ride. It should definitly be in every teenagers hands.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A new twist on a ghost story...
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2014

    The Brown House is a new twist on the trendy ghost story genre. It adds mystery and suspense, instead of gore and mayhem. It helps that the reader can connect to the main character. The story opens with Brylee Branson and her family falling on hard times due to the recent struggling economy. The family is forced to make some tough decisions and in doing so decides to move from warm, sunny California to New Jersey. The Branson’s find a steal of a deal on a home in Wilson, New Jersey. As is the case with most too good to be true deals, the Brown House is not what it appears to be and comes with quite a history. At first Brylee dismisses the gossip that her new home is haunted. But soon strange occurrences make it impossible to deny. With the help of her friends; Kayla, Lynley and Ephraim, Brylee sets out on a quest to unlock the secrets of the Brown House.

    This is the first book in The Visitor’s Series and it sets the tone for this spine tingling, edge of your seat ghost story. You won’t be able to put this book down. You may even want to sleep with the light on!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Spooky and just AMAZING!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2014

    Moving is hard on anyone, but a kid in high school hates it even more. When Brylee and her family have to move to New Jersey form California she is beyond unhappy. It is cold, has no cool beaches, and to top it all off she is living in a haunted house. No one wants to visit her and weird things are happening to her. Brylee is lucky to make two friends very quickly in the neighbor kids, Lyn and her big studly brother, Ephriam. Soon she confesses her fears to them both and they decide to try and help the spirits of the house move on, but to do that a curse must be broken and a secret found out. Can the kids find a way to free the secrets and spirits of the house and Brown family? Will the curse take their innocents and their lives? How much can a girl take before she breaks?

    This was by far one of the most realistic ghost books I have read in a very long time. I could see this happening somewhere out there. I was sucked into this book from the first chapter and couldn't wait to read on in it to see what happened and if the kids could figure things out and make things right again. I flew through the pages like a witch through the air on her broom. I found myself reading late into the night and then being a bit uneasy with my own homes darkness as I realized it was pitch black in my room except for the light of my iPod that I was reading on. This book brought out my own homes mystery sounds it seems. I was so into the book I just got lost in the plot and the characters. The plot had the flow of a rushing river, you just had to continue watching it. There was so much that happened in the plot, but it was in a good way. It was in a way that made you want to read on and on and on in the book to see where things were going. This is a plot that takes a "normal" ghost story to the next level. It was spooky, mysterious, and just plain great edge of your seat fun! The characters were so real and developed I felt like they were high schoolers in my own town. They were amazing and I couldn't wait to see where they went in this book, where their relationships went, and how close they got to figuring out the deep secrets of the Brown family and house. I just couldn't get enough of this story and the characters. I was a bit taken back by the ending of the book, but seeing as how I have the second book in the series too, it wasn't so bad of a thing, as I will just continue on in the next book. However, I hope they don't all end like that....with cliffhangers, or I may start to wonder why the author just couldn't make one huge book or two bigger books. I get the sales aspect and the come back for more aspect, but still too many "what?!" endings can be a bad thing in a series. We shall see, as I am starting the next book now. I would very much recommend this book though to anyone looking for a great ghost mystery! Just be prepared to want to continue on in the series too.

    5/5 Stars!!

    Christy has done it again. This was a story that pulled me in and kept me wanting more. A horror that surrounds a house in New Jersey. Brylee and her family have moved due to a downward spiral of their California life. Moving somewhere new with family around should be a positive change with the support you need, but the Brown house will put a twist on that. The horrors that live in this house will torment you for many reasons, and Brylee has a secret that she can only share with her new friends. These friends might be the solution or a bigger problem to the strange happenings in the house.
    Christy brings her characters to life and allows you to be in the story with them. I love these darker reads and always want more.
