Whisper by Heather Hildenbrand
New Adult Paranormal Fantasy
The Cherokee believe when a person dies, their soul is reborn. Life is repeated. An endless cycle of lessons to be learned, love to be found, destiny to be fulfilled. For the past six months, in every flower, every bird, I’ve imagined my parents, relieved of their human forms. Now, after five months at the Skye View Wellness Center, it was summer. A time for parties and friends, but that’s the last thing I want to do. So when my best friend Erin convinces me to attend a bonfire at Eagle Point, I can’t handle the crowd full of sympathetic stares or drunken class clowns who would use my tragedy as a way into my heart – or my pants. The solitude of the woods offers an escape, until I stumble upon a boy, unconscious and bleeding, his pockets stuffed not with identification but with poetry illustrating the beauty of dying. I’ve seen enough death. I will not leave this boy’s side.
Even after he wakes, when the only thing he can remember are visions of events that haven’t happened yet…

My Thoughts:
*I received this book for review from Mark My Words, but this in no way affects my thoughts as expressed in this review*
I so couldn't wait to read this book! I'd been excited about it since release day and when I finally got to read it I stayed curled up the entire afternoon. It completely blew me away.
Now, I'm sure y'all are thinking, "well what's it about?" I mean, the synopsis is a bit of a cliffhanger, isn't it? Who's the boy? Why was he unconscious and bleeding? And visions? I had the same thoughts when I was first going into the book, and I have to say it's so much better than I expected.
You don't see a whole, whole lot of books about Cherokee, and considering my own great grandmother was Cherokee, I always love reading about the culture that is so often carefully weaved in books like these. It definitely added to the story. I honestly cannot wait to read what Heather Hildenbrand brings us next, as this was a really great book! I recommend!

About the Author:
Author of Across the Galaxy, Whisper, and the Dirty Blood series. I write, read, and fuss at my kids. Oh, and I do laundry, lots of laundry. I’m pretty good at it, too. Sometimes I even read WHILE doing laundry – and fussing at my kids. I’m a multi-tasker.

Likes and dislikes? I love vintage tees, hate socks with sandals, and if my house was on fire the one thing I’d grab is my Amazon Fire TV! (oh yeah, I’m a fan of puns.)
I'm glad you enjoyed it Paige!
