As AC/DC once sang, “YEAH YOU, SHOOK ME ALLLLLL, NIIIIIIGHT, LONG!” Which quite frankly, this book did. It shook me. All night long. 24 hours. I devoured this book in 24 hours.
Alright my fellow bookworms… I read this at the brilliant (yet HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE) request of my bookworm cousin, Myranda. The gal knows what I like (horrifying matter, which this book has PLENTY OF) and what I don’t like (sex, romance, love, which again, this book has PLENTY OF) *eyeroll*
I did my Myranda a solid and went into this book blindly. In the opening note to readers, K. Webster asks that you read the book with an open mind and in effort of trying to be less of a harsh asshole/ book snob, I did just that *insert angel emoji here*
This book has ALL OF THE TRIGGER WARNINGS, which is fine by me, the more raw, sick, twisted, and emotionally distraught the better!
You cannot really talk about the book without spoiling the surprise, which BREAKING NEWS: I correctly predicted the plot twist when I reached 50% of the book! If ya know me, ya know I am severely lacking in the imagination required for making plot predictions, so this was a huge win for me.
In closing, I will say I appreciated the creativeness, intricacy, and truly unique story that is Whispers and The Roars. It went from a one star, to a two star, to a (reluctant) three stars for me. Will I be reading any of the 40 other books that the author has published? It’s gonna be a no for me, dawg. Will I ever trust Myranda for a book recommendation again? I think not.
I do realize this review has been an erratic tangle of words. But my brain hurts. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Have a lovely day.

This is one of my favorite books of this year.
Go into this book blind.
5 out of 5 stars for me though.
I have recommended this several times since I finished it just the beginning of the month!

AMAZING...simply one of THE best books I have read all year.
This review is going to be fairly short. This is a book that needs to be experienced without any preconceived notions. You need to go into this one with an open mind and an open heart. You need to take your time and savor every little morsel this author lays on your plate. Then you need to break it open and suck it's very marrow out. It is THAT good.
These characters will tear your heart out and then piece it back together. No, it's not an easy subject matter. It will be hard. It hit VERY close to home for me, and I spent 99% of the book with tears in my eyes. It was sad, it was agonizing, it was uplifting, it was beautiful, and it was my absolute HONOR to be given an ARC of this one.
This is one amazingly special and stunning book. My advice to you...READ IT.

It was interesting. Heavy topics and lots of trigger warnings needed. But I didn’t read anything about the book, no synopsis or reviews beforehand. I thought it was gimmicky but why not. I think anything would have ruined it for me.
I don't know what kind of a review I can right without spoliers so let me just say this book is heavy and dark and not pretty most of the times. Ugh it hurt my heart
Absolutely Amazing!
I followed the author’s request and did not read any reviews before reading the book and I am glad I did. This book was freaking amazing! Once I started reading I could not put it down!
