The saying goes that all men are created equal... but Nicole Abbot knows better. Lacking the supernatural gifts of the Sentients she has known all her life, Nicole has lived with her nose pressed to the glass, withering beneath the guilt of her own inadequacies and the disapproving glare of her father. It's easy to believe that the universe has forgotten all about her, but...more

I am a huge fan of DeLucy's debut novel, Seers of Light, therefore I was eagerly anticipating this next book, and while I enjoyed Whispers of Light, I can't say it held the same magic for me as the first book.

I think the issue is I couldn't help but compare the two novels. While I believe Seers had the perfect blend of heart stopping action and whirl wind romance, Whispers was more of a slow build to a journey of self discovery.

I think the issue is I couldn't help but compare the two novels. While I believe Seers had the perfect blend of heart stopping action and whirl wind romance, Whispers was more of a slow build to a journey of self discovery.

Still, the emotional journey that Nicole went through was very poignant. Here is a girl, living in a house full of Sentients who all possess extraordinary abilities, while she remains just a regular human. If that wasn't enough, she attends to her feeble minded mother who was 'injured' defending Nicole, and she must deal with the constant ridicule from her father who is admittedly disgusted the fact that Nicole is not a Sentient.

At the heart of it all is Christian, the Combatant from Seers. This book finds Christian much changed from the first. His attitude and outlook on life has completely reserved into something optimistic and open. Yes, he is still the hard-headed yet handsome Brit I quickly grew annoyed with in the first book, but in Whispers he seeks a solace in his life that I can't help but yearn he finds. As with Nicole, there is a vulnerability in Christian that makes me feel very protective of him, so their combined silly stubbornness nearly drove me mad!

Whispers of Light was definitely more character driven than plot driven. Yes, there were side stories to small adventures into the supernatural world, but nothing as edge of your seat as Seers. Yet, I was able to forgive the lack of climatic plot because I was enchanted by the characters. In fact, one of the reasons I tore through the book in one sitting was because of how beloved the characters became to me. Even though Nicole is constantly being torn down by her father, she is a pretty funny girl with a great sense of humor. Still, the humor doesn't hide the hurt and everyone becomes very protective of her, especially Christian. Also, when you have a large family of individuals living in the same house, heads are bound to butt when said family member can't help but feel entitled to get involved in your personal life, and such was the case for Nicole. The importance of family and belonging was the evident message, and one I found quite soothing at the end; and it helped to have the nosy, playful, humorous and entertaining moment from each family member throughout the story.

And I'm not gonna lie, the five second cameo with Lily and William thrilled me to no end!

I really only have one gripe. One of my biggest peeves is to see the word "Whoa" misspelled like this: Woah. And I saw it misspelled several times in Whispers. I don't know why it bugs me so much, but it does. Possibly it has to do with my long time crush on Keanu Reeves. No one can Whoa me like he can. To be fair, woah is in the Urban Dictionary, so maybe I just need to brush up on my lingo?

Bottom line, I'm a fiend for emotional angst in stories, and Whispers sated my need for that while slowly revealing a very enduring love story. I'm so happy there will be a third book in the series, because I'm not ready to let the Sentients and their loving companions go.

Whisper of Light, by Jennifer DeLucy is an engrossing, gut-wrenching, tear- your- heart- out and put-it-back-together delight. I couldn't put it down. Which for me, is bad, because I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this month. I shouldn't be reading at all, just writing.

While I was initially disappointed that this wasn't a continuation of Lily's story, it didn't last long. I found myself drawn to Nicole almost right away, although maybe not quite as much a Lily! This is a much lighter read...not quite as action packed as Seers. But I was completely okay with that! And it did have twists & turns of its own.

It pains me to only give this book two stars since I loved the first one so much. After everything Christian had been through he deserved a happy ending. I wasn't sure I was going to love him as much as William because he acted like a complete ass for pretty much all of book one but when I finished reading Whisper of Light I was surprised to find that he didn't annoy me once but Nicole sure did.

Nicole has been treated like crap for most of her life, as soon as it became obvious that she would have no powers her father shunned her at every angle. She is riddled with guilt over so many issues, mainly what happened to her mom since she feels that it was her fault. Then Christian comes along and he doesn't see a sentient without powers, he sees a musically talented and beautiful woman.

“Any minute now you’re going to keel over, your heart beating at the rhythm of a bird’s. And you’ll probably be reaching for your coffee the whole time.”

What I didn't like about this book was the lack of development between Christian and Nicole, they kissed once then she ignored him for most of the book with excuses like she wasn't good enough or she'll drag him down. When they finally got together it didn't seem genuine, more like being together for the sake of being together. (If that makes any sense) Nicole also annoyed me, she was such a push-over. She lets her dad abuse her in so many ways and just does nothing. Then what her 'supposed' friend does to her was pathetic. I would have been furious, she just laughs and says "hey, it's ok"...like hell it is!

Overall I didn't particularly like this book, maybe it was because I loved book one so much and had high expectations while going into this one.

Kind of a Catch-22. I want you to notice me, but I don’t want you to notice me wanting you to notice me. (less)

Nicole is a non-sentient she doesn´t have any kind of endowment and that´s why she feels like her family´s black sheep. With a father that doesn´t appreciate her at all and a sick mother she tries to deal with her life the best she can.

I'll start by saying that the cover to this book is not only beautiful but very fitting to the story. The story takes place in Northern California, where there are beautiful Redwoods around. Nicole was a character I could easily identify with, in fact I saw a lot of myself in her. She hates her thighs and she doesn't think much of herself and her father pretty much encourages this with his attitude and comments. I really hated his character, a lot. Nicky is a therapist and a piano teacher, she plays amazingly well. Her patience is limitless as she takes care of her mother (who was damaged by a dark astral) deals with her demeaning father, works with a timid little girl named Samantha (who doesn't talk or react to anything) and teaches piano lessons. It's obvious that she has a lot on her plate, but she handles it the best she can while putting her life pretty much on pause. Then Christian comes along, you might recall that he is from the first book in the series and thankfully we get to learn more about his character and find out if he does end up happy. I won't say what happens in the first book but for the sake of this review I will imply that he goes through some traumatic stuff and comes to California for new scenery and a chance to regroup (mentally/emotionally). Their chemistry is almost instantaneous, they're opposite in certain ways but it only encourages them to help each other. Nicky thinks she isn't good enough for him and it broke my heart to read about it, but I understand that she feels a sense of duty to her mother and father (who doesn't deserve it). Will she find happiness? Will she be able to let go of her insecurities and accept love? I adored this book more than the first, Christian's character simply melted my heart and Nicky was a heroine I cheered on with all my heart. Perhaps there is something to be learned from a character like her, we all have our insecurities and past, but how is it that we're able to overcome them for a chance at real happiness? This series is a unique combination of paranormal/uplifting themes which makes for two great reads so far..... (less)

When I heard that Whisper of Light would tell Christian’s Happily Ever After, I was ecstatic. However, when I saw that the story would follow a different group of sentients and would be told not by Lily, main character of Seers of The Light, I was very doubtful. I am extremely happy to say that I stand corrected! I loved Whisper of Light and Jennifer DeLucy has a an absolute fan in me now.

In Whisper of Light we see the world through Nicole’s eyes. She was born from sentient parents and raised in their world. Her father had huge expectations for her, but when Nicole grew up and no sentient powers were forthcoming, she had to deal with the fact that would forever be ordinary in a world full of the extraordinary.

Christian had to get away for a while. Seeing the woman he thought he loved, engaged to the man he used to hate and that actually saved his life, was more than he could take. He then joins with another group of sentients and finally has a chance to find out was love really is.

What i most enjoyed about this novel was the sweet romance between Christian and Nicole. Usually in PNR novels there is a lot of lust that turn into love, but this time the romance was something slower and sweeter. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy hot smex in my PMR, but this was a very welcome change of pace, where the hero and heroine got to know each other and fall in love before ever getting to the down and dirty.

Whisper of Light doesn’t really have much action and definitely nothing like the last part of Seers of The Light, but it was an estremelly enjoyable book nonetheless. It was beautiful to see the journey that Nicole takes, learning that even though she isn’t a sentient, she is special in her own way.

Jennifer DeLucy has created such a beautiful series that I recommend to Paranormal lovers everywhere! I just hope that there will be more books in the series!

This story starts slightly before the ending of the first.

- Rochefoucauld

Book two in the Light Series Whisper of Light, is a beautifully written novel. As if led by the invisable hand of a lingering spirit, we journey to California where we meet a group of Sentients each with their own quirky sense of appeal and completely different to that of the Sentients in Book one. Whisper of Light coincides alongside Seers of Light (Book One) but focuses on Nicole Abbot and later in the novel Christian Wright, a Combatant Sentient from Book one.

Nicole is a talented musician who devotes her time between applying music therapy to children and caring for her ailing mother who is suffering from severe memory loss after being attacked (protecting Nicole) by a dark entity. Both Nicole’s parents are Sentients and much to Nicole, but more so her father’s, disappointment she has no endowment herself not realising that her endowment is her gift to empathise with children through music and her kindness. Nicole lives with the constant ridicule from her father, his insistent belittling of her and disgust at having produced a non Sentient, it is only when Christian comes along that Nicole begins to believe in herself. Each Sentient is unique in their own way, completely diverse to the Sentients in Book One and you can’t help but imagine that they would be the easiest going bunch of people around, who you could just hang out and be yourself around; I mean, who wouldn’t love to hang out by a Californian Beach practising taekwondo? Or hanging out with Nicole & Christian?

Christian Wright joins the Californian Sentient group to escape (& sort out) his recent past, he is dealing with his own demons unable to accept the blow to his family, loosing his father, by his own hand having to kill his father before he turned into a vampire. At first Nicole’s skips around the edges and uses every possible excuse to avoid Christian, although she can’t deny the instant attraction but convinces herself that Christian would never be interested in such an ordinary girl. As the story develops, we learn that Christian is a sensitive, family man and helps Nicole with Samantha; one of the children she works with, Nicole can’t help but admit that she is besotted with Christian and seeing him with Samantha only enforces her feelings towards him. I’m glad Christian met his match in Nicole, and although they both share troubled pasts and seem almost opposites, they compliment one another, being perfect opposites.

Jennifer’s storytelling is magical, she has a way with words that transport you into her world; I could almost feel the sand on my bare feet walking the beach with Nicole and smell the damp, freshness of the Redwoods imagining looking up through the leaved canopy; Jennifer manages to create characters that are so realistic, you’re able to relate to them on a personal level, like the layers of an onion, each character seemingly has many layers which add depth and develop the character. Although this book differed to the first, in that we learnt more about the rigmarole of everyday life of being a Sentient and more so of the characters Nicole and Christian, and their personal (and combined) journey of self discovery, Jennifer still managed to pique my interest, my fingers itching to flip through the pages and willing my drooping eyes to remain focused absorbing the words as quickly as possible. And besides, we did, after all, have a quick visit back to Philadelphia where we met the Sentients from Book One.(heart palpitations aside), Whisper of Light is a beautiful piece of writing interwoven with the mystery of the supernatural world and I very much look forward to Book Three.

You are just an ordinary girl – without any endowment, any extraordinary talent – and this means that you require protection from other sentient, being an unneeded burden to them when you and your group are in danger. This is how Nicole feels and this is the world that she lives in. What makes it worse is that, without the supernatural ability, her father sees her as a failure, as a nothing, as an embarrassment and pretty much determine to make her life a living hell. She has nowhere else to go. Her guilt over certain thing that happened in the past trapped her here, in this house, with an awful father and group of extraordinary people. Being here makes her realise how small, how worthless she really is.

Nevertheless, the arrival of a new Combatant, Christian Wright, to Wendell’s group lightens thing up a bit for Nicole. He treats her well and for the first time in her life, there is someone out there who sees and accepts her just the way she is. Christian, who initial purpose to join the group is to run away from the past that haunted him in Seers of Light (click the title for full review), begins to feel that there is something connects himself to Nicole. He starts letting himself to think that there is still possibility for him to find love, something he has stop believing in after what had happened in his old group. However, the self-consciousness and insecurity that get in the way proves that building this relationship is harder than it may seem. Whisper of Light is a book about a journey towards self-discovery and self-endurance. To move on is to let the past goes. The question is: Are they strong enough to make that happen?

I have to admit that when I knew Whisper of Light is not really a continuation of Lillian’s journey from Seers of Light, I was left sceptical and a little disappointed. The fact that Christian was not entirely my favourite in the previous book makes this feeling even worst. But soon as I started reading, I realised that the sequel might be different, but it is unique and interesting nonetheless. The author, Jennifer DeLucy, has masterfully creates a spin-off that lets readers view the personality of the characters from a totally distinct light. One of the things that I like most in this book is the change of scenery and atmosphere from the first instalment. This gives a new breath to Whisper of Light and it was so well-written that you feel as if you are really there with this group of Northwest sentient. What this book lack of, I think, is the amount of action. There are some small adventures here and there but none is as intense as found in Seers of Light. Still, what this book shorts of is made-up in its in-depth emotional tone, where there are number of parts so intense, so moving you cannot help but really feel for the characters.

The aspect that serves as the backbone of the book is indeed its row of well-developed casts. There are numbers of them in this book (in the whole series, in fact!) but it feels like the author managed to create each and every one of them with different personality and most important of all, purposes of their own. I truly admire the female lead in this book, Nicole, as she is such a strong-willed, sweet person yet have a very fragile heart at the same time. Her personality and situation are being described in a detail way till it is so easy to relate to her and understand her predicament. The change in Christian’s attitude is also remarkable, surprising and I found that my thought on him begins to change. So I think it would be interesting to see the further development in this character in the next instalment. The other thing that I really appreciate is the fact that DeLucy does not create the love interest between these two based on lust, but instead begins it with something far deeper and sweeter. The pace of this book is a little slow but I honestly feel that it suits the tone, the atmosphere and the theme just perfect.

As the conclusion, I feel that the number of distinctions between Whisper of Light and its predecessor make these books even more memorable in minds of the readers. If Seers of Light is filled with heart-pounding action and Whisper of Light is saturated with heart-warming love story, I really cannot wait to see what else Delucy has for us in store for the final book in the series. Such an astounding book that I thoroughly glad I got the chance to read. I believe you should too!

I breezed through this in a few days and I loved every second and I couldn't find anything to criticise whatsoever (hasn't happened in a while that!)

Secondly, this is a book of magic, romance and even a few vampires (but please don't make the mistake of thinking it's like Twilight, Believe me, this is nothing like that) yet there is a lot of depth, philosophical and soul searching issues that really prompted to me to think about myself. What if your soul does, in a way, recycle itself and is born again? It's quite an awesome idea and one that plays a huge roll in the powers that the characters in this book possess. What if also this being born again meant you had powers such as mind reading, crossing spirits to the other side or healing? With so many books preaching afterlife and religion, its refreshing to get a different take on the soul and humanity in general.

Now on to the characters. As much as I loved Lily from the first book (Seers of Light) I connected to Nicole a lot more. Maybe because I see a little of myself in her. Always feeling a little inferior (and even feeling a little fat at times) so reading her story was all the more fascinating and hopeful for me. I also found her career to be wonderful to read about too, as well as uplifting. I don't know a lot about therapy and autism so it was an eye opener for me as well as being a little educational.
Christian was very different to how he was in the first book and I loved this side to him, it made a change from the angry side that was more visible in Seers of light and his relationship with Nicole was beautiful and life changing for the both of them.

If I haven't grabbed your attention so far, for those who like to be a little freaked out too; there's some pretty intense scenes with ghosts, creepy spirits and vampires that if you read too close to bedtime may scare you a little. (and no I didn't look around for Hags before I went to bed *looks sheepish*)
Anyway, if you like romance, novels with a bit of depth, vampires and a little bit of being freaked out by ghosts, then definitely give this book a go. You won't be disappointed.(less)

After the bittersweet end of Book 1 (Seers of Light), it was nice to see Christian Wright find some happiness with Nicole. I was able to identify much more with Nicole's character than with Lily, the heroine from Book 1. Perhaps that speaks to my own life, where I feel like I'm constantly surrounded by those more talented, gifted and intelligent than me. Christian's somewhat overwrought characteristics from book 1 are replaced in book 2 by wisdom and humility, making his character much more lova...more

Whisper of Light is the second book in the Light Series. I really liked the first book a lot, Seers of Light. However this book, I love. This book focuses on the West Coast Sentients that we first met in Seers of Light. The west coast sentients are a bunch of lovable misfits. The storyline centers around Nicole. Both her parents are sentients but Nicole doesn't appear to possess any special gifts. Her father is a jerk, to put it nicely, and her mom is having some memory issues. Nicole feels out...more

Just like Seers of Light, this book was deep, touching, and entertaining. Nicole, the main character, is one of the most patient people in the entire universe (both literally speaking and literature-world speaking). While being patient is certainly beneficial to her therapy and music clients, it doesn't help her personal life out much. She's so set in her current life that she tends to put her own wants and needs on the back burner. This is a beautiful story of Nicole's development in finding ho...more

4.5 - Jennifer DeLucy’s Light series continues with its second installment in Whisper of Light. If you haven’t read Seers of Light (Light, #1), first off – what are you waiting for? And secondly – this review might include some spoilers, so be prepared, some might be unintentionally included.

With DeLucy’s ever present beautiful writing, story and some of the characters from the first book that we know and love returning in Whisper of Light, I sat down and didn’t get up until I had devoured each and every page of this book. With such a strong story, characters and writing, what’s not to fall in love with here?

In Whisper of Light we meet a new type of heroine – Nicole. She’s unlike the Sentients she was born, raised and still lives with – she was born into this different life without any Endowments or supernatural gifts. She’s quiet and somewhat stand offish and lives life with more than just that burden. She’s under a huge amount of stress and weight on her shoulders and a huge part of that comes from her father, who is really a piece of work and to this reader, she kind of felt like a stranger in her own skin as she tries to live and cope with just being… well normal.

I enjoyed reading Nicole because to me she stuck home time and time again. She’s one of those characters who so many people will be able to relate to. The questioning of one ’s self and where they fit into the world, and how they feel so different from everyone around them really were key points that even I found myself deeply understanding.

Then we have Christian who has come to live with a new Sentient group to try to heal himself from the past. Again, you need to read Seers to understand just why Christian ventures so far from home. It’s through Christian we get to see some of the real Nicole and through Nicole we in turn get to see some of the real Christian. Those points in the book are few and far between, but I felt that was the point – again DeLucy with amazing pacing and timing showed that, well, to change and see something from a different point of view about yourself doesn’t happen overnight.

That’s one think that I think DeLucy has hit the nail on the head with. She’s patient with her story telling and allows her characters to fully grow and come to terms with things in a way that we can all fully understand. Her characters personalities aren’t all that far from true and can be found in just about each person if we take the time.

All in all DeLucy is, in my eyes a writer who has amazing amounts of talent and who I for one will be waiting on pins and needles for the next book in the Trilogy. Anything she writes for that matter, I’ll be eager to get my hands on. I’ll be sad to see it end but will forever keep my fingers crossed that maybe someday her Sentients will talk to her again. So, for now… everyone hurry up and read both her books. You won’t be sorry! The third book in the Light Series looks to be released sometime late Spring. *softly nudges Jenn back to her computer to hurry up and write the next book!*(less)

So I loved the first one, and I liked this one. The only thing that I didn't get was the sudden love that Christian felt for Nick. Really, I thought this book was going to be from his point of view, and even though I liked her POV, I just didn't see when his love for her started, all of the sudden he blurts out "I need you!!" and I was like, WHAAAT??
Well, maybe it was just me...

But anyway, I liked it a lot. And I'll keep reading the next one. Can't wait to see William again!

First off, I liked this one ever more than Seers! I loved Christian. William who? I don't even know...

I feel like Nicole was written for me, all her insecurities and drawbacks and, hopefully, her humor. I was able to completely connect with this character and her struggles.

Read this book! And if you haven't read the first in the series (Seers of Light), check that out first so you have some context. They're emotional, fun, spiritual, sexy, well-written roller coasters.

Nov 11, 2010 Andrea marked it as to-read

I hate when authors do this. By this I mean switching the group of characters the book is about... I liked Lily and wanted to see where she is and how her powers progress. I was so excited for this book and now part of me doesn't even want to bother reading it. I think characters are special and should be treated as such throughout a series. It's like saying you have nothing else to say about these people or have no idea what to write about them so make new people up. I will give it a chance and...more

Quotes from Whisper of Light

“I think I’d want to be a tree,” I told him, finally.
“A tree? Why’s that?”
“Because. Everyone loves a tree.”
“Ah.” He nodded. “I see.”
“So, what about you? What would you want to be?”
“Well, considering your answer, I suppose I’d want to be a boy, sitting on park bench somewhere beside a tree named Nicole.” — 9 people liked it

“Listen, Nicole, I’ve had all I can take of you telling me what I need. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe you’re exactly what I need? That maybe, in the middle of all this miserable neck-snapping and repelling and crossing the bloody hell over, all I really want is someone…someone good who will let me be a fucking man? Just a fucking human being with flaws and unenlightened days? Is that too much to ask? That you let me fucking love you, Nicole? Because that’s what I need! That’s all I’d ever need from you. Just to love you. Can you deny me that? - Christian Wright (Whisper of Light)” — 4 people liked it
