Thank you so so much to the author Liliana Rose Hastings for choosing me to be a Beta Reader for her upcoming mystery novel!!
Whispers of Deception was hauntingly beautiful and suspenseful! We follow the case of Willow Montgomery who was recently found dead! Throughout the book, her 5 close friends take on the responsibility to find out the truth of what happened to her and let me just say that over the course of the book, I absolutely fell in love with all of them at every page.
The romance side plots were perfection! No spoilers here but I’m very happy with the couples that ended up together by the end of this!
The found family was even better!! Sebastian, Lilia, Delilah, Gus, and Eleanor have my heart!! They were just so perfect together and so caring. Their friendship was beautiful and even stronger after this experience. I want a friend group like this soooo bad.
So many crazy things happenedddddd! Usually mysteries are a hit or miss for me because I tend to find them predictable but I PREDICTED NONE OF THIS! I was on the edge of my seat every chapter just waiting what we would find out about Willow’s murder case next!
This book was also one of the most immersive books I’ve ever read! The author’s inclusion of playlists, maps, investigation reports, autopsy records, and even a true crime podcast truly made this murder mystery stand out from all others!!
Overall, this book was written so well and absolutely beautifully! I loved everything about it and I’m so so excited to see what happens next!
Once again thank you so much Liliana for letting me be a Beta Reader! <3
