Whisper to Me is an amazing, eye-opening book that was so gripping that I read it in one go.
I like the way that it’s written as one long email so there are no chapters as such. I prefer it like this because it makes the story continuous and without breaks, which is what makes it more gripping. It has very interesting and contrasting characters that are very believable and the plot is very tense and has lots of twists in it.
This book is really good because it covers lots of different styles and topics such as; murder mystery, depression, schizophrenia, prostitution and true love. I found that it introduced me to other genres that I would not usually read.
Cassandra’s mother is dead and her father does not seem to care about her. He spends more time with his pet bugs and insects than he does with her and he is also a workaholic. He is an ex army SEAL and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, which leads to him getting extremely angry with Cassie.
In Cassie’s small town there is the Houdini Killer that goes around killing prostitutes (this is not as inappropriate as it sounds!). When Cassie becomes good friends with Paris, only for her to get kidnapped she tries to rescue her and with only a number plate to go by, is it impossible to save her? Can the boy that delivers fairground soft toys help her? Will she find Paris and true love along the way? Or will she have to choose one?
Overall, I absolutely loved this novel. It is now one of my favourite books!
