*I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That has no impact on my opinion of this book*I loved “Hush”, book 1 in this series, and fell in love with Blakely and Max. Though “Whisper” focuses on Blakely’s younger sister, Halle, I think this book is just as good, if not better, then the first.Halle spends a lot of time with her older sister’s close friend, Leigh, as well as Calum and Griffin. One day while a group of students were cleaning out a building that was set for remodel, Halle finds an old journal that seems to have been hidden just for her to find. After reading the journal that belonged to Elsie, the daughter of the man that founded Lakeview Academy, Halle starts having weird dreams and swears she sees Elsie at night.Elsie died when she was a young girl by drowning in the lake at the school, and she has items that need to be found and returned to the Stewart family so that she can be at peace. Calum happens to be a descendent, and relative of Elsie, so he is enthusiastic in helping Halle, along with Leigh and a few other friends unravel the mysteries the journal holds.Without revealing any spoilers to ruin this book for another reader, I cannot go into much detail. But believe me when I say that you will not be disappointed in reading “Whisper”. There are some creepy parts, as well as learning about forgiveness for two characters, with some slight romance thrown into the mix for good measure. I anxiously await the release of “Scream”, book 3 in the series.
