Thank you to Ashley Audrain, Penguin Random House Canada, and NetGalley for providing me with an ebook copy of The Whispers for me to read and review. What a roller coaster of a story! I found it a bit slow to start with a large cast of characters to keep track of, but once it picked up the twists and turns and unexpected events just kept coming! The characters pulled at my heartstrings then made me hate them and back and forth throughout the whole book. The ending wasn't super surprising, however there were some remaining loose threads that weren't tied up. I do wish that we had a bit more closure on some of the aspects and characters, but overall it was a compelling, excellent read.
