by Christy Sloat (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (95)
When people tell you where the Brown house is, you run the other way. Everyone in Brylee’s small town knows this, which is why they don’t exactly trust the girl who lives there. Brylee is known as a dead talker, but it’s more than that now. She has unlocked an evil so terrible she can’t seem to keep it from killing everything in its path. She was warned about messing with these ghosts, but she didn’t listen. You know, evil comes in all shapes and sizes so finding it and locking it away forever will be a bloody mess.

    Christy Sloat has created another fantastic story! The Crimson Key picks up where The Brown House left off. Brylee is trying to find a a way to break the curse that has been placed on her best friend Lyn and her boyfriend Emphraim. As if that isn't enough the curse seems to be taking hold of Lyn very fast and new host are showing up in the house making even more questions for Brylee you just don't know if she will ever find the Barclay witches in time or if she really wants to if she does. I could not stop reading once I started and the ending broke my heart, but This is a must read for anyone that loves a book that can give you the creeps, make you laugh and make you cry. Very well done Christy!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2013

    Wow, the ending of this book really packed a punch! The elements I loved from the first book were present here: the thrills and chills. As a person who likes to be chilled without being scared sh**less or grossed out, this had just the right amount of haunted appeal for me. And of course my favorite ghost, Kayla was back.

    Things were serious at the beginning of this book. The curse cast on them at the end of the first book is taking its toll on Ephraim and Lynley and Brylee is ready to do whatever it takes to save the day. Throw in some gypsies and tons of extra ghosts and the Crimson Key became a thrilling read. I will say the first book is my favorite of the two for a few reasons. For one, I liked Ephraim better in the first book. I know the curse took a toll on him, but he was just ... off, in this book. I missed his sweet charm and personality. I hope to see it re-emerge in book 3. Also, as a parent reading this book I was in disbelief at some of the behavior Brylee was able to get away with. Let's just say if I acted like her, I'd have gotten a switch to the behind (yes, even at her age) and would be staring at the inside of my room for months! Then again, Brylee's parents are kind of clueless pushovers, so I guess that's what they get. Either way, it didn't ruin the book for me at all, and I know the dynamic between teens and parents vary from family to family.

    That aside, I have to say the last 20 percent of the book ramped things up into high gear and a huge twist through me for a loop. Emotions and tensions are high and by the end, the main characters' lives all hang in the balance. It was suspenseful and I raced to the finished because I couldn't wait to find out what would happen! Of course, I'm looking forward to reading the conclusion to this series.

    From the moment I picked up the first one "Brown House" I absolutely loved the story and her style of writing. I read the first book in just a few days and the 2nd one in less than 2 day (and I work full time and have 2 young boys). I can't wait to read the next one. Way to go Christy, thank you so much.

    I would recommend this book to all readers especially younger women who would enjoy a good love story and a creepy haunted house.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not everything is what it appears to be....
    Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2013

    I have been patiently waiting for the Crimson Key to be released. I fell in love with The Brown House (even though it was quite spooky!), and just had to know what happened next. I would have finished this book in 1 day had my Kindle battery not decide it needed charging (always the worst timing!). I was not disappointed in the least with the second installment of this series.

    Brylee is now faced with finding the cure to the curse her boyfriend, Ephraim, and his sister, Lynley, are under. Time is not on her side, as the effects of the curse are becoming more apparent, especially with Lynley. The witches who are responsible for this curse are dead, but yet they hold the key to saving her friends. Who can she trust in this voyage?

    Brylee takes Lynley on a shopping trip, to get her out of the house, and her mind off of what is going on, and meets one person who may know just what needs to be done to break the curse after all. A trip to the library also has her making a new friend, but what can she offer?

    She then is forced on a two week vacation back to California with her parents to visit her family. This is not the best timing, and she soon realizes it is because her parents want to move back there; just after Brylee has finally found a place she wants to call home- Jersey. However, the trip was not a total waste. Even though she knew she wanted to be back on the East Coast- she has lives to save! She was able to help Ethan and his family move on from their tragedy.

    Just when I thought "ah, I know what is going to happen", I was proven wrong. Evil comes in all shapes and sizes, and you never really know every one's true intentions. Not all ghosts are bad or there to harm you, and not all living individuals are good.

    I eagerly await the next installment, and hope to read more about Brylee's new-found capabilities as a "ghost whisperer". There are many souls that need help to pass over. Is she the one that can help them?

    4.0 out of 5 stars A fast paced, gritty page turner
    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2013

    I liked The Crimson Key even more than book 1. The pace is wonderful, it keeps you moving quickly through the action and you want to keep reading and see what happens. This book has less of the teen/highschool aspect than the first. It is darker and grittier- not a typical cheesy young adult story. Brylee is finally starting to find out what her purpose is and how she can use her gift for good.

    Some good things do happen. Brylee is able to help some people, she is still strong and confident, and the relationships between the characters are solid. However, overall this is not a happy story. Bad things happen. More evil is revealed. It is sad, sad, sad! Then there is the twist- something I definitely did not see coming! I love being surprised in a book, it's just no fun when the twist is predictable.

    In the end there are still plenty of issues left unresolved, as well as some new conflicts introduced, that will carry over perfectly into the next book. Readers will be anxiously waiting for book 3 after finishing The Crimson Key.
