Whispers in the Dark by Laurel Hightower

5.0

"The dark is coming, and you need to be ready when it does."

I buddy read Whispers in the Dark with my friend Tracy, and I enjoyed it so much! When I first read the synopsis, I was sort of worried that this was mostly going to be a procedural with horror tones (which isn't my favorite), but Whispers in the Dark was not like that at all. This is a solid horror story, and it was so entertaining.

This is Laurel Hightower's debut novel, but it doesn't feel that way at all. The story is intriguing, and it flows really well. At times it felt like there was a tiny bit too much relationship stuff for my taste, but everything ended up balancing out. The romantic relationships and friendships felt believable. There were some good creepy scenes, and this book held my attention well. I can't wait to see what Laurel Hightower does next!
