Shelves: paranormal, good-writing, first-book-of-five, fast-pace

It's all about the details when a writer tells a story. Whether it's morning or night, sparkly or shadowy, the details always set the pace. I won't lie, being on the edge of my seat for most of this story was fun which made it go quickly. I like that…a lot. I think too many authors get bogged down with details. And way too many of them…at least for my taste, anyway.

As usual, I went into this book without a clue of it's premise. Only the knowledge of Anne's exceptional writing which was all I ne ...more

I love how it starts with action and ends with action! It made me interested, pulling me in to figure out what's happening in Alyx's life! I didn't know what I was expecting, honestly I never know when it comes to Anne, but I've come to expect amazing things from her! This was not doubt amazing!

Whispered Echoes was a fun, ghost adventure and I cannot wait to get to the rest of the series! Alyx can see ghost just like her mother and because of this reason, she has lived in a mental hospital for the last nine years. Her whole family died in a freak fire and she was the only one to survive, so her guardian became her uncle and he's a nonbeliever which is how she ended up in the mental hospital. I felt absolutely horrible for her because she isn't crazy, she really can see ghost- but how can you prove it to nonbelievers?

We find out that the last few months at the hospital have turned for the worst ever since a new doctor came to the place. Her friends are changing and she needs to escape before they get to her too. Y'all, her trying to escape was intense! I was sitting on the edge of my seat!

Once she escapes she goes to the one place that's deemed safe or is it really? It's an academy for those who can see the spirits, it's where her mother worked. But y'all, this place seems shady! And I'm not just talking about the way they do things up front, like use ghost to get information on a politician then selling it to their opponent for money. I know they say they're doing good but really, something smells fishy. But Alyx doesn't care, she's only here for one reason, to find a way to expel the ghost that posses her friends.

Along the way she meets amazing friends, I got quite attached which is why I was sitting on the edge of my seat at the end of the book. I need to read the next one soon to make sure everything is okay! Skye is her colorful roommate, she's there by her side and Lucky Lukas, well I wasn't surprised when he showed up after their first encounter haha. Can't wait to see how that all plays out! I think it's adorable how into ghost he is without being able to see them.

Overall Whispered Echoes was an enjoyable read! I could not put it down, except this one time after the shocked twist of turns at the end of ch. 16! Ohmigod, I did not see that coming! I was reading it and I was like, is that person going to do what I think they're going to do? I was literally scooting to the edge of my seat as I was reading it! And then that person did what I thought they were going to do and y'all, I could not process what was happening! My mind was shocked and blown, I could not continue till my brain was able to process what just happened! Here is what my reaction was when I read that twist-

Anne has done it again, that scene gave my goosebumps all along my arms! This story brought chills to my spine and reading at night, y'all I swear I was being watched! haha Cannot wait to get to the sequel! ...more

YA is not usually my thing, but Anne Michaud has caught me up in this first part to her new series despite the lack of sex, drugs (ok, there are plenty of drugs, but hardly recreational) or terrible profanity. This is a fast-paced, action-packed intro to the world of Alyx and her friends, enemies, ghosts and captors. This is less hardcore horror-based than some of Michaud's previous work, but Whispered Echoes is full of creepy institutional horror mixed with supernatural terror, and blended into ...more

Dec 24, 2015 Margrét Helgadóttir rated it really liked it

This is an excellent ghost horror story with all creepy paranormal details and blackened eyes and cackling laughter—which kept me on the edge of my seat—I suspect Michaud had great fun writing it. However, I think that perhaps it is the psychological aspects that is the true strength of this book and even the most compelling part of the plot.

(Spoilers within)

So, how to start this. This book had some good ideas. It revolved around Alyx, and her ability to see ghosts, most importantly the ghost of her sister. She's put in a mental hospital because of it, where people are doing experiments on people like her. She finally escapes and goes to a school for people with her kind of powers, and she keeps trying to figure out a way to save her now possessed friends at the me ...more

The first book promises lots of creepy stuff...and delivers! Definitely made me want to keep reading the whole series. An attention-grabber with a quick pace - I need to read more stuff by this author. Would highly recommend it to anyone who loves paranormal.
