I LOVE this book!! I love how the main character is someone who is real, who's not perfect and she definitely has her flaws, but so do we all. I love how she finds who she truly is, and I think that's what the book becomes about; finding yourself when you feel like you and your life are such an utter mess, and total chaos seems to consume you.
The ghost story in it is a masterpiece; a story within a story. I love a good ghost story and this truly has it all!

For a first go at writing a novel, I am impressed with Amy's work. As with all new authors, room for improvement but a decent job for her first go at it.
I've read quite a few reviews on this novel on a couple different sites and there seem to be some mixed feelings. Here are my thoughts on the biggest disagreement: Shyla has just spent months recovering from the death of her brother and grandmother (who was like a mother to her) in a stress center. She already has her suspicions about her husba...more

I love the modern Gothic tone of this book, and I also love the frank treatment of a suicide attempt. Mostly, I just love that ghosts are critical characters... that there is diary involved which reveals major secrets... that there is a strong female protagonist who doesn't run screaming from the house when she realizes she's seen an apparition... and that there is sufficient mystery to keep one clicking that "next page" button again and again and again. Kudos to Ms. Armbruster for keeping me up...more
I liked the story, and that is the only thing that kept me reading to the end. Shyla, however, bugged the heck out of me - she seems afraid of everything. Way too timid for me. Even though the ending seems to be a HEA, it could have been handled better, in my opinion. Shyla made a timid decision at the end, in keeping with her character, I guess, but unsatisfactory to me.

For a first time author I found this book enjoyable.
From the beginning I couldn't stand the husband. He was a selfish character and I wanted rid of him.
I couldn't begin to imagine the solitary lonliness Shyla felt losing her family and couldn't relate to the character in the beginning but quickly started to route for her.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wanted a quick read and enjoys the paranormal.
I can't wait to read more from this author and watch her talent grow!!

I was engrossed in this book from the first page. I definitely had certain expectations based on the first few chapters. Then the author completely blew my thoughts of a nice predictable story out of the water! This book is chock full of emotional upheaval, learning moments and lets not forget the whispers that drive the main characters.
If you love a good paranormal story with a bit of romance, a dash of deceit and alluring locales you will love Whispering Coves!

Whispering Coves is a refreshingly honest story of loss, grief, temptation and survival. The story seamlessly interweaves the past and present in a casual and believable tone. I found it to be an impressive first novel and the writer to have a firm grasp on the art of storytelling. The few grammatical errors throughout did not disrupt the flow or my enjoyment of the story at all, and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
I love a good ghost story and when it comes to that story line, this book it great! A wonderful,creepy, keeping you guess, sitting on the egde of your seat. The only reason I gave this review 3 stars were the ghosts.
With that said,I have never in all my years of reading, met a heroin that annoy me more! From the moment when I first met Shyla she rubbed me the wrong way. She was whinny and weak. Why the Dr. ever released her from the hospital, I’ll never know. From start to finish, she got on my...more

I loved this book! It was very well written and captured my attention from the start. This book is a wonderful combination of suspense, romance and the paranormal, three of my favorite things! Amy Armbruster is very talented in that she has that gift of writing that keeps you wanting more. I am looking forward to reading all of her books!
Awesome book!!!! Amy has an amazing way of grabbing your attention from the start and holds your attention throughout. A must read!!!
This book was well written and very suspenseful. Undestanding Shyla's conflicts within herself and in juxtoposition with the paranormal activity made her very relatable. I love this book, and not just because the author is my best friend. The fact that she wrote it, and I'm such a book snob, I was hesitant to read it because I didn't want to risk not liking it and hurting her feelings. However once I read it and finished it, I would proudly and with not a moment's hesitation recommend it highly...more
