A Whisper in the Dark by K.J. Sutton, Jessi Elliott
3.0
Was that it? THAT was the book? What happened to the rest of it?
I opened it up, and one hour later, I’m reading “End of Volume 1, continue reading...”
I was put off my by the low general ratings for this book. It’s not terrible like the ratings suggest. I’ve read worst, with higher ratings
Yeah the book might focus a little too much of dialogue and explaining the system of Vampire Hierachy than the setting itself. I would like more action, and maybe less dialogue.
The book didn’t feel complete and I guess that could be the criticism. It felt like only 1/4 of the story got told, with no climax, or action for that matter.
The main love interest was introduced at 80-90% of the way!
Oh and about that, I think you know who the main love interest is when one dude is described as some sandy-haired tall guy, and the other as this dark, handsome man who has “green eyes so penetrating they shake me to the core.”
Didn’t even given sandy-haired tall guy a fighting chance...
I like sandy-hair guy though. He was super sweet, and had a great vibe. He is friendly. Helpful. Funny. Quirky. Cute jokes. I like him. I would befriend him if he was real, I think.
Penetrating green eyes guy, on the other hand, has this gross “smirky” bad boi thing going on that is sorta cringe. The ~sexual tension~ is forced between him and Charlie, on the guy’s end I mean.
Charlie is too cool for this guy.
Luckily, Charlie has not shown too much interest in him.
I like Charlie. I’m glad if that because I usually like Charlies (Charlie Davison is the best).
This Charlie isn’t as funny as Davidson, but she does have a lot of character. She is interesting. I mean the book is so short it felt like 1/4 of a regular book so I don’t really know how to peg down her personality yet but she is one helluva interesting person.
The world-building is unique, intricate and makes sense. Vampires are the ultimate race. Once a vampire reached their Awakening, their eye colour changes, indicating which sector they will go to (there is a sector for the gym buffs, for science nerds, for good-looking people, for whimsical artist-types, etc.) The vampire society is rules by a Vampire king, and the heroine is a part of this ruling royal family. It’s actually a pretty interesting concept. These vampires hate thistle, blister (not burn) under the sun.
It’s free on Kindle Unlimited so I definitely say you should give this a try.
Also I just checked and the book is ONLY 94 FUCKING PAGES. No wonder it felt like more than half was missing!
