Whispers in the Dark by Laurel Hightower

5.0

4.8⭐ to be exact!

Whispers In The Dark is about Rose McFarland, a Memphis S.W.A.T sniper who in her latest mission, shot one Charlie Akers, who turned out to be her half brother she never knew. From there, her family secrets that she tried to hide comes back crawling at her, and now the walls between the dead and the living are at stake.

- The premise of the story was really good, the writing was done well, it's a fast paced one and I really love how the author built each character gradually as they were all connected to one another somehow.

- I think that the romance in this book was a huge distraction. Like, Rose already had enough with her problems at work and at home. Who gives you right to mess with my Rose's head?!! But oh well, they redeemed themselves at the end of the story so it's kinda okay 🤣🤣🤣.

"The door is open. We can be whatever we want."

- The paranormal aspect in this book was quite convincing. I'm not a person who'd easily feel anxious when I know something terrible is going to happen to the characters in the book, but this book made me feel exactly that. My heart kept beating hard the moment I knew the danger was coming. What I thought as little things and unimportant, turned out to be major clues for Rose.

All in all, I really love this book! Rose is badass from the beginning till the end!
