thereadroversbookclub 's review for:

Whispers and the Roars by K. Webster
3.0

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.
