Once a person joins The Society, they don’t leave. Ever. It’s a commitment—an until death do you part commitment. What happens when someone wants out? No one knows because no one has ever left until …
I do tend to go out of my comfort zone time to time and read books from genres that I am not heavily invested in and have been hesitant to pick up books by authors who are new to me and Kristin Mayer was no exception.
Whispered Promises is the story of Sarah. Sarah has always led a sheltered life living in The Society, that is until her mother died. A letter let by her mother, turned Sarah's lie upside in such a way she had never thought to be possible.
After reading the letter what I couldn't stop questioning was: What is The Society? And why did Sarah's mother join The Society in the first place? Why didn't she leave?
After reading the letter, the one thing that I knew was that up until now, Sarah's whole life and her identity, which was revealed, has been one big lie and the only thing left for her to do is run as far away from The Society and never look back. You see, Sarah's real name is Kenzie Brooks and her mother joined The Society in the hopes of having a support system after her husband died.
Once Kenzie leaves The Society she tries to settle into her new life, in a world that co-existed with The Society but she never knew anything about. Even though it is difficult for her to adapt to her new surroundings, she learns to survive and finds an amazing support system in siblings, Brooklyn and Aiden.
I loved the relationship Kenzie formed with Brooklyn and especially between Kenzie and Aiden. They are attracted to each other from the get -go and Aiden has to be the most patient boyfriend in the history of fictional boyfriends. He gives Kenzie her space and understands that she is a bit trepidacious of her surrounding and it will take time for her to completely adjust and that quality is one that I loved the most.
Whispered Promises is not just a Romantic Suspense. It is a journey of a young girl who escaped her past and struggled to find a future in the new world. It is about finding oneself. It is about finding friends and acquaintances in the most unlikely of places. It is about falling in love and finding a Happy-Ever-After even after the pain and struggle.
Though this book does not make my Top Favourite list it is definitely an enjoyable read. My only complaint with the book is the way it ended. It left me unresolved but other than that Whispered Promises is one giant mystery waiting to be unraveled page after page.
