Broken Whispers by Neva Altaj

3.0

This a short book so of course the plot moved very fast - the same happened in the first book - but there were some plot holes that left me wondering and wanting more development. This felt more incomplete than the first one. I still liked it but now I’m kinda nervous about rest of the series. 

I also didn’t really like the development of their characters - Bianca didn’t really struggle with being married to a stranger all that much and I didn’t really like how it’s implied that Mikhail loathed any kind of physical touch but in 0.1 seconds he is comfortable with Bianca touching him? I feel like the characters had so much potential but with the length of the book being so short it (understandably) didn’t happen.

I also wish the relationship between Bianca and Lena was more explored - I think it would be so cute to watch the relationship blossom. I wasn’t a fan of them agreeing that Lena could call Bianca mom and that she does but we didn’t get to see that conversation play out.

(Also I was hoping that the sex scenes would get better - or that maybe instead of getting a couple scenes we would get just a very well written one - that didn’t happen. Kinda bummed about that.)

FINAL THOUGHT: I wish the book was longer and the plot/characters where more developed.
