“If you leave a door half open, soon you'll hear the whispers spoken. If you play outside alone, soon you won't be going home. If your window's left unlatched, you'll hear him tapping at the glass. If you're lonely, sad, and blue, the Whisper Man will come for you.”

This was a really difficult read for me. I hate reading about children being hurt. Adults that hurt children make me sick and so this book was very hard to get through at times. Yes, justice was served, but not to all the guilty parties involved and the ones that were brought to justice just didn't seem like enough of a punishment. They should have had a worse punishment. I also had mixed feelings about one of the main villains in this book because yes he was a horrible person and he deserved to be brought to jail but at the same time my heart broke for him because no one saved him from the horrors he experienced as a kid and it made him in to the monster he became. Reading this was like reading a Criminal Minds episode, so it was definitely a good book. Just some parts were hard to read, so definitely keep that in mind if you want to give this book a try!

Overall, stories like this remind you that there are monsters in this world. Some brought to justice, others not, and it just isn't fair.

Wow! This book was everything I was hoping for and more! Creepy, twisty and edge of your seat stuff. I loved the different perspectives through out the book, flipping between third and first person was interesting and not at all confusing for me, it kept the pages flying through my fingers. It also made the reader know things before the characters, and at times it had my toes curling because I knew what was going to happen. But this didn't mean we knew all the facts, and there are plenty of twists to make your jaw drop. Definitely can not wait to read their next book! Just wow again!!
