I really liked this book! It wasn't overly scary, but it gave me enough chills and kept me glued to the pages.

The Wilpenny family just moved into a new neighborhood and they are starting to adjust to their new house. Their youngest son, Brandon decides to make friends with the neighbor kids across the street.

Brandon's new friends tell him stories of a possible haunting in his house but he pays no attention to it until he actually sees a shimmering mist in the kitchen one night.

After seeing the supposed ghost and gathering his friends for a Ouija board session, the ghost sightings escalate to the point of two of Brandon's friends disappearing.

The book picks up a steady pace as soon as the ghost makes itself known and the pace stays steady till the end. Giving the book three stars for keeping me entertained.

This is a ghost story where the main characters are kids, young boys to be exact. The story begins with a family moving to a new house and one of the boys, Brandon, encounters a ghost in the kitchen. As it turns out, there's more to this ghost than meets the eye. To begin with, there is more than one ghost. Of the two, there’s one who is especially fond of taking little boys. What she does with the little boys is the mystery. It’s an unusual ghost story that ended with a twist that I didn’t see coming. If you are looking for a kids ghost story, give this one a read, you’ll enjoy it.

Ghost In The Kitchen

A great book to pickup, especially as Halloween is around the corner.

A ghost in the kitchen is not what you expect to find when moving house. A super horror read complete with ouija boards and spooky bumps in the night.

Excellent ghostly horror.

So much suspense! That was a good read. Very chilling. So many twists and turns, and it managed to surprise me too many times, kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm not a regular horror reading, but this book was truly so very well done, such mix of mystery and horror, realistically done, definitely difficult to put down.

Okay, where do I start? It ended way to fast for one. I'm coasting along and BAM! The End. WHAT?!? Also there were things were not explained. How did she end up under the tree? Did I miss the explanation? You cant just not explain that.

The author needs to be better about fact checking. She had someone "running to call 911" more than a decade before it was established.

Perfect for Halloween! A great story to read this time of year! Brandon moves to a new house with his parents and his brother. Immediately, something seems off: strange cold air streams from an unidentified source, a neighbor kid who tells a scary story about a kidnapping that happened in the house when it was owned by the previous family, and a few other things. The story is believable because these events happen gradually, and each one could have an innocent explanation. But it doesn't, as we soon find out. And that's when the story gets really interesting.

I don't like scary movies or books. Just has never been my cup of tea. However, once in a while it is nice to step out of your comfort zone. I actually read the entire book from start to finish and enjoyed the story.

Terrifying!

Inspite of being short story, this book is good enough to run chill through your body! Worth reading. Loved it!
