Eloise Montgomery loved her life. She had a good husband
and
two lovely teenage girls. She had a normal life and she
was
just fine with that. Then, one morning, tragedy struck and
everything changed in an instant. The end result left
Eloise
with a "gift" that she never asked for and never wanted.
Yet, it seemed that she was suddenly psychic and could see
things that no one else could. Victims of violent deaths
began to visit her and would not let her go until she had
delivered the message of who the police needed to look for
in connection to the deaths.
Eloise did not have an easy time of it but she finally
found
one police detective who believed her. That did not turn
out
to be great news, though. Once he knew what she could do,
he
not only wanted her help, but demanded it. Eloise may be
able to help catch murderers but what will she lose of
herself in the process?
THE WHISPERS is sort of a prequel to Lisa Ungers'
Whispers series and any fan of Unger's books will
know exactly
who Eloise Montgomery is. This is her backstory and allows
the readers to get to know her a little better while
offering a glimpse into how she became able to do what she
does. She is the town's reluctant psychic and is both
loved
and feared by the residents of The Hollows, which is
something that she has grown to accept. Being basically
the
town outcast was not her dream existence, but she learns
to
deal with it and is resigned to the way people tend to
feel
about her.
The story of Eloise Montgomery is quite captivating and
will
be even more so to fans of The Hollows series. In fact, it
is a must read for those fans of which I count myself as
one. THE WHISPERS is a creepy crawly short tale that will
make you want to run, not walk, to the nearest bookstore
or
library and get started reading The Hollows books. It is a
fascinating introduction to this mesmerizing little town
of
ordinary and not so ordinary people.
Eloise Montgomery discovers her amazing gift in the wake

Though
she struggles to understand her newfound gifts, Eloise
