The Whispers by Ashley Audrain
4.0

It's amazing what you can learn about people when you're more or less invisible. It's the things they don't want you to see that tell you the most.

The Whispers by Ashley Audrain
Release Date - 06/06/23

Quick Summary
In this dual timeline that brings you to the lead up of a tense three days. A neighbourhood of people and their secrets start coming to light.

Final Thoughts
At first, I didn't jump on the Ashley train when her first book was released. I can't really explain why, but something made me keep putting it off. However, when the opportunity came to receive this eARC in exchange for my honest review, I figured why not. The setting of the story isn't something I would initially pick up right away, but I am so glad I gave it a chance. Ashley's storytelling is so gripping that it kept me tense throughout the entire read. It's like I was living in the neighborhood with these characters, sharing their secrets as if they were my own. This experience has definitely convinced me to go back and read her first novel.
