A family tragedy rips a young girl from her quiet life on a farm in Michigan, pre-World War II. For years, she refuses to speak and then she meets the butcher’s son. Together they build a world for themselves, each a haven for the other until war sends them on disparate paths of destiny. One will lose and one will win the life games of love and peace in a world gone mad. It is a story of love’s triumph over hatred wrapped in a supernatural shell that rivals the works of Dean Koontz.

A very good book. I enjoyed it very much. It took a while for me to complete my reading of this novel be because I had other books in the queue to finish and write a review for. This story tells of many things, not just a supernatural thriller it also shows what psychological damage abuse, desperation, and war can do to a person. Poor Delia was awaken in the middle of the night with a gunshot. Her dad killed her mother, and wanted to kill her too. She got away from him and went to live with her

Part gritty war novel, part love story but all dark fantasy, the story follows Delia whose life is pocked with violence and a couple instances of seriously misguided affection. Following her through life are sounds in her head that, while not exactly language, communicate with her nonetheless and help her to stay sage throughout WWII in Europe and back in the US with her partner, Alice.

4.9 stars Whispers in the Shadows will definitely chill you!
Ok, I admit it; I love scary stories and movies. Unfortunately I try to avoid the realistic stuff like stories of real killers, or their 'fun'. Once I started this story, I couldn't stop reading even if I 'd tried. This author has wowed me with this story and I can hardly wait for the next one! Don't miss this! ...more

Incredible characters, they grab your heart and pull you along for their ride.
I was shocked from the first page at how much I immediately cared for these characters. I couldn't put this book down. My only problem was the very explicit sex scenes which I had to glance over. I'm glad I read the book, it's excellent. ...more

A psychological thriller that begins and ends with a flourish, there are arguably not one but two rather sweet romantic stories.
The development of characters is very well done here and one is likely to care for, or be intrigued by, at least four characters by the end of the fourth chapter. Thereafter, the visceral depiction of the traumatic effects of the war leaves you heartbroken as the two characters one is initially cheering for are shaped into entirely different people.

This is an excellent story, a great mix of thriller and supernatural. The story starts with a tragedy that breaks your heart, and the fallout of that occurrence both threatens and protects Delia. You are quickly drawn into the tragedy that is Delia's young life and you cannot help but feel some attachment to her, a scarred and lost soul trying to make sense of a troubled world. When war separates her betrothed, Frances, she learns that there is more to life than she thought possible. The story g
