I seem to be in a bit of a pickle. How does one review a book that the author suggests you go into blind?

When you find yourself on the goodreads page for Whispers and the Roars, this is what you’ll find: ***THIS STANDALONE IS BEST ENJOYED WHEN YOU DON’T READ ANY REVIEWS OR SPOILERS BEFORE READING. GOING IN BLIND IS BEST. TRUST ME.***

In my experience with this story, I did exactly that, but I know everyone is different, so while this may not be a long review, as I don’t want to give too much away, I’ll still do my best to tell you a little bit about the journey you’ll go on with this story.

Whispers and the Roars is my second book experience with Webster and all I can say is that the girl can keep you on your toes. This is much more than a boy-meets-girl, they fall in love, and there’s drama story. I was highly suspect that there was more to Kady and Yeo’s story, and there was.. for sure. The paid have a reason (or several) that they spent some time apart when they were younger, but now that Yeo has finished school and is ready to open his practice, he wants his dream girl back. The love of his life, even with her quirks and complications.

I adored the complexity and levels in this story. There’s a whole cast of colorful characters that add to the dynamic of Kady and Yeo and help, in any way they can, to cement their bond even more. The interactions among the group really kept me guessing and kept me loving Yeo and Lady even more from a different perspective.

Although I’ve read similar plot lines in other novels, K. Webster has a way of making her story unique. While I could sense things weren’t always what they seemed, it didn’t mean that I wasn’t surprised when I came across what I had been searching for since I began reading this story.

I don’t want to say much more otherwise I’ll wind up blabbing and giving out spoilers, which I feel like I’ve been doing with several of my reviews lately. For now, I’m going to sign off and just say that this was one hell of an adventure and I enjoyed every minute I spent buried in this book, and I know you will too. If you haven’t already, pick up a copy and happy reading!

dark emotional

I didn’t care for the way the intimate past were written. but the part where everything came together had me screaming in bed. 

The psychological element of this book was absolutely brilliant. The part where everything comes together was so good! And the ending!

For me, I just couldn’t get past the intimate parts. It just felt awkward in how it was described. Nothing against the writing at all, it’s just not for me.

This book was a solid 3. Went into it blind with no real expectations which was good, but the “twist” became too obvious too early on. Then there was too much left after the reveal and the rest wasn’t as good as what lead up to the reveal. Overall it was an interesting concept.
