Fresh Fiction Review

WHISPERS IN THE DARK
Maya Banks

Reviewed by Kathyrn Little
Posted December 28, 2011

Romance Suspense

Would you try to find the one person who helped you through your darkest times? The one who held you and eased your pain? Shea is that person to Nathan, who suffered through multiple torture sessions and was held in captivity.

Shea is the perfect heroine. She is cautious, loving, and compassionate. Throughout the novel, she wants to protect Nathan-a nice change from the typical "save me" heroine. Nathan is charismatic, handsome, and strong. He will stop at nothing to find and make Shea his own. The reader will believe in their love, the author manages to make relationship aspects of WHISPERS IN THE DARK realistic. And to spice it up, the love scenes are exciting and steamy.

There was no lull for any reader to fight her way through in WHISPHERS IN THE DARK. The book contains plenty of action: between love scenes and searing glances and the evils some characters demonstrate in this book, a reader would be exceedingly hard to be bored. In fact, this book is a definite page-turner and one you want to read in a single seating.

WHISPERS IN THE DARK is a must-read for Maya Banks, Christine Feehan, and Lora Leigh fans. The nonstop action and sensuality is a treat not to be missed. I can't wait for the next installment of the KGI series.

SUMMARY

She came to him when he needed her the most. She came to him at his lowest point. The voice of an angel, a whisper in the dark. She's the only thing that gets Nathan Kelly through his captivity, the endless days of torture and the fear that he'll never return to his family. With her help, he's able to escape. But he isn't truly free, because now she's disappeared and he's left with an all-consuming emptiness as he struggles to pick up the pieces of his life. Did he imagine his angel? Or is she out there, needing his help as he'd once needed hers? Now he rushes to save her before it's too late. Shea has been on the run from people who will stop at nothing to exploit her unique abilities. She never wanted to drag Nathan, who'd already suffered so much, into danger, but she doesn't have a choice so she reaches out to him for help. Finally face-to-face after having already formed a soul-deep bond in hell, their emotional connection is even more powerful than their telepathic one. Nathan refuses to consider ever letting her go again, but she worries they can never have a life free of the dangers that dog her every step. He'll protect her with his every breath, but can he convince her that they are meant to face these threats together?
