The Whispering Dead turned out to be something that I wasn't expecting in a much better way than I can articulate at the moment. I just finished the book, and I was struggling with wanting to finish it last night at the 50% mark. It was a bit of a slow burn and I was needing something to happen to hook me in to keep me intrigued long enough to keep me reading. 

But I wanted to know how Keira faired through everything and what happened enough that I kept reading. And I'm SO glad that I did. 

I really enjoyed Keira's perspective of not knowing who she is other than her knee jerk reactions and answers that she could give. I hated that she didn't know who she was or much else, but I think in time she will get to know who she is now. 

I was very surprised by who she is and what she could see in her second sight. I was excited to learn what she could see in her second sight and how she communicated with those she could. I hope that on future books that she is able to communicate better with them. 

Keira is definitely a tough cookie! She is not a damsel in distress, she is a fight till she can't anymore. And I am so excited to learn more about her and see where she has learned to be such a strong fighter. 

Of course we can't forget Zoe and Mason! I love Zoe's enthusiasm and love for her theories that she has for everything! I love that is so willing to look outside the box about everything. She isn't afraid to say what she thinks, even though she isn't a mushy hugger type. 

Mason is the mysterious doctor who definitely has so much on his mind and I think that we will get to know so much more about him in future books. And I can't wait to see more of his personality unfold and see if there may be some romance unfold as well!
