Oh My God! K Webster! This is a indescribable love story that will not only grab your attention, it will make you freeze in place until you finish.

Do not read any blurbs, just trust the process, trust that K Webster will not lead you astray. Go in blind, you won’t regret it.

This is such an emotional read you will probably need a good romcom to read after but this is a story that EVERYONE needs to read. K Webster is such a freaking talented writer and this is a perfect example why.

Bottom line READ THIS BOOK NOW!

What a great book.  I would suggest going in blind and don't read any spoilers, because it will ruin it for you. - I wrote this quick review before I had time to digest this book fully about a year ago.

Let me update it for you.  I ADORE this book.  This book has stayed with me for nearly a year and I can't get it out of my head.  I cannot express how much I love this book.  One more time... I LOVE THIS BOOK.   I recommend it whenever I see a chance.  

I felt so connected to Kady and Yeo and my heart ached for them.  The story follows Kady as she relives the childhood abuse she suffered at the hands of her father.  Bones, along with Yeo (Terrible Three) keep her safe and loved.  I really can't give an in-depth review because it would ruin the book for you.  

I listened to the audiobook and it was great.

This book is exceptionally well written, despite the heavy subject matter. It feels odd to say I love this book given how dark and raw this book is, but I love it. Webster has this masterful way of making uncomfortable and gritty books relatable and likeable. This book is best enjoyed blind. Do NOT read reviews or skip to the end to ensure you get the full experience. This book is so beautiful in all it’s naked and dirty glory. Well done, Ms. Webster, well done!

Very intriguing plot. Was nearly put off when I thought he was cheating, but quickly realized the male character was actually helping his childhood sweetheart concur multiple personalities. True love story with a very dark past she must overcome. 

What an incredible journey that was

Please do as the author says and go into this book blind dont read reviews that have spoliers or give away too much. Im so glad i didnt and i promise its worth going into it blind this book is incredible

Wow. What a mindfuck. Brilliant. This book was interesting, but a little melodramatic and confusing until about half way in. Before that I had my doubts about whether or not this was a book that I would truly enjoy. Then all hell breaks loose in the best way. This book was not at all what I thought it was going to be. Whispers and the Roars is best gone into blind without any preconceived notions so that's all I'm going to say, but this is a story that's going to stay with me for a long time.

When I tell you my jaw dropped…. What a RIDE! I’ve read dark books before but this one is unlike anything I’ve ever read. My heart broke for Kady. I can’t believe I’ve had this just sitting in my shelf for this long. Truly a masterpiece.
