A Whisper in the Dark by Jessi Elliott, K.J. Sutton
3.0
A fascinating idea and I like the way the authors spun their version of vampires. Charlie is a nice protagonist who is thrust into unfortunate circumstances and does her best to survive. I like the other characters involved too, especially Drew and Nina but I felt we didn't get enough time with them for me to figure them out quite yet.
I enjoyed the writing and the characters. The prose and characters are nicely written and I had no problems imagining each character with their own personalities.
Overall, I think there's potential in this story and it's promising some future intrigues but perhaps I'm not used to reading serials but I kind of expected more of a story and character arc in this first installment. It read more like the first third of a book to me, but again, that might be because I'm unfamiliar with the reading and pacing of serials. I had hoped there would be a huge revelation at the end than what we were given but I'm still interested in finding out what happens next.
3 out of 5 rating for me!
