Check Out Whisper Cape (Whisper Cape, #1) Originated By Susan Griscom Ready In EPub

or Addie for short, is a great heroine that I loved from the minute I started reading, The poor girl is haunted by nightmares after her father's violent death, Instead of normal recurring nightmares, she is experiencing progressive dreams that change each night and go further into the nightmare like a bad movie, She is even more rattled when she almost hits a man in the middle of the road, When she starts experiencing some freaky abilities she is not sure who she should trust to tell her secret, That plan falls apart when the mysterious man she almost hit tells her he knows and has seen what she has done, She soon realizes that her someone else knows about her abilities and is out to get her and something that her father had under his protection, She must put her trust in her growing powers and the man she loves in order to defeat this nightmare,

Cael. By the end of the book, I was utterly in love with the man myself, He was a great hero for the book and added a lot to the story, Sexy and mysterious, he made me want to find him and pin him down to a bed and have my way with him, You know what I really loved about his character There were parts of the story that had a high emotional level and we were shown a man that wasn't afraid to shed a tear or two.
I honestly don't think I have read too many stories where the hero actually cried, And it didn't make him a pansy either, I think that was the point in the story that I wished Cael was real and him to be all mine, We also see him struggle with the fact that even though he thinks it is a distraction that could work against him, he falls utterly in love with Addie quickly and completely.
He knows that Addie is a strong, sexy woman who can hold her own but he can't help the protective instincts that come out in him whenever they are confronted with danger.
He also struggles with the fact that she is the daughter of the man who mentored him and was like a father to him, But everything seems to throw Addie and Cael together, Fate has brought them together but they have to believe in their love to make everything work out in the end,

I unfortunately couldn't read this fast enough because real life got in the way but let me tell you, if I could have avoided things like taking care of kids, laundry, and dishes, I would have probably read this book in less thanhours.
Beware Regan, you have a new stalker! Hehe, . . I really enjoyed this story! It kept me on the edge of my seat not knowing what was going to happen next, The author did an excellent job of grabbing my attention and keeping it, She was able to develop characters that were relatable,

Addison is haunted by nightmares since her dad was murdered, Addison and her aunt moved from New York to Whisper Cape on Oregon's coast to start a new life and hopefully put the nightmares behind them, She accidentally meets Cael who is hunting the man who murdered her father, They are instantly attracted to each other and together they will unlock secrets from their pasts, They will work together to catch her father's killer,

I highly recommend this book! I will be looking forward to the next installment! FREE on Amazon today! I picked this book up because I'm a huge fan of romantic suspense.
The fact that it had a paranormal element didn't hurt either, After reading the first page, I knew Whisper Cape would be a winner, The story opens with Addie waking up from a recurring nightmare, My mind instantly filled with questions that needed answers, From Addie's first disastrous encounter with Cael, I was hooked, I liked the hero and the heroine from the start and enjoyed their growing attraction to each other, Their sexual tension was off the charts despite how much Cael fought against it, I enjoyed the cast of secondary characters, and I hope we'll be seeing more of Darcy and Jared!

The suspense line was also very entertaining and served to introduce us to the world of the Sectorium, where people have wonderfully different powers.
Cael's mission to find Eidolon a member of the Sectorium gone rogue leads him to Whisper Cape where there have been a string of murders of women, As Cael digs deeper into the mystery, he discovers who Addie really is, and who is killing the women,

The romance and the suspense storylines were masterfully intertwined, keeping the tension up and my attention on high alert the entire length of the book, This was a great read and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good suspense and a riveting romance, in a fabulous paranormal world of "super" humans, I'm looking forward to reading Reflections, bookin the Whisper Cape series!,Stars :

What a fantastic read! The setting is Whisper Cape, Oregon, The visualizations and scenery the author painted was a combination of beautiful and eerie, I was floored at how I escaped to this creepy seaside town, It was so vivid that I envisioned myself standing along the seaside cliffs, an eerie fog rolling in, looking down at the ocean waves crashing on the rocks, At times, you felt what the character was feeling,

After the mysterious death of her father, our heroine, Addie is having nightmares, Someone, or something, is chasing her, Enter our swoonworthy hero, Cael, While driving home, Addie almost runs into Cael, Almost. She pulls over, then realizes that that there wasn't anything or anyone around, Was she imagining things Where did he go Things are just getting stranger and stranger, Wait, were those sparks coming out of her fingers Addie is coming into age and with it, come certain powers, Cael doesn't realize it immediately, but he was sent to protect Addie from the creature from her nightmares,

The story takes a lot of twists and turns and the ending left me surprised, I honestly didn't see it coming, I thought it was something, but it turned out to be something else, Combine the action, the love, the sexy hero, the vivid imagery, I loved it all! Definitely recommend : I thought this book was well written from the very first page.
I liked Addie right away, and I found myself really wanting to live in the town of Whisper Cape, Her nightmares were vivid and frightening, and left me feeling the same shock when she woke up as I do when Ive had a nightmare of my own, I love an honest main character, and Addie was a very genuinely good person who had a lot of bad things happen to her, but still held herself to a standard.
I was impressed

with how she wrestled with the guilt and fear that she may have killed a man,

Speaking of that man, Cael oh my goodness! He has become a bona fide book crush for me! His arrogance normally would be a complete put off, but it worked for him.
The instant connection he felt with Addie tugged at my heart strings, it was almost literally love at first sight, although neither of them wanted to admit it, I love when Im reading a book and know both characters thoughts and Im screaming inside for them to tell each other! As a stubborn woman myself, I identify with characters that keep themselves stuck in angst when a simple conversation can clear it up.
These two characters were so real and wonderful, and the abilities they possessed just added to the chemistry especially when they realized just how strong they were together,

The supporting characters were also wonderful, Maia, Addies aunt, and her boyfriend Gerry were excellently written, Each could easily have a story of their own! Her friends Darcy and Jared also have an excellent sub story going on that had my complete interest, Caels mother was intriguing, and Id love to learn more about her!

The “bad guy” in this book was terrifying, Not in appearance, but probably because of his lack of appearance, I was questioning every character in the book in my mind, wondering who Eidolin could be, The way he used other people to do his bidding left him free to stay safely on the sidelines with little risk to himself, The psychological terror he inflicted on everyone matched the physical violence he was conducting, The final reveal of who Eidolin was completely surprised me, and I was horrorstricken! That is all I want to say about the main plot of the storyany more elaboration from me risks a potential spoiler and I HATE those!

Ive started reading book two, Reflections, but I really had to stop and write this review before the dividing line between books became blurred for me.
This is a series that is seamless, yet, I think someone reading book two as a stand alone could still enjoy it and have enough information to understand the dynamics of the relationships and abilities.
Quick plot rundown: Addison MacKenna has recently moved back to the town where she was born, Whisper Cape, While rushing to get to work one day, she hits a man, . . or so she thinks! Once she gets out of her truck, he has completely disappeared, After that her life is all sorts of strangeshe finds she has a new ability, the vanishing almost accident victim returns, and someone is out to kill her the same someone who murdered her father.


Okay, I liked the suspense part of this book, because I couldn't figure out the killer any better than Addie could, It really kept me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next and who the bad guy might turn out to be, Elements of the "world" were really welldeveloped, like the Sectorium, The rest of it was just normal, every day world, though it was well described too and I had no trouble visualizing things,

I liked Addison as a character, too, She wasn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination and occasionally she irritated me, but that's okay it's no fun to read about perfect people, She seemed to have the quirk of talking out loud to herself when no one was there, which I thought was a cute touch, At times she seemed to be a touch bipolar, switching between emotions so fast the reader kind of gets whiplash, but I've had that happen to me before, so it really just made her a little more relatable.


Unfortunately once the romance element was added I didn't like it as much, I just wasn't feeling it, I guess, They had a lot of sex, I don't mind sex scenes in books but I skimmed over these after the first couple of times, On the same vein, even being an adult who uses the "f" word more than I probably should I don't think it's very ladylike, but hey, I'm human, this book was loaded with fbombs.
A character at the end of the book reacts to the news of his impending fatherhood with "fuckin A!" which just kind of seems like, . . well, overkill.

I wasn't a fan of Cael, he kind of gave me a bad vibe, He was really controlling, possessive, and jealous of everyone, even Addie's aunt's longtime boyfriend, who kind of acted as her father figure, Their big fight sealed the deal for me that I didn't like him at all which might have been a contributing factor for skimming over the sex scenes, This guy tries, on purpose, to hurt Addie in the worst way he can possibly think of, then interrupts her conversation with another guy that he's extremely jealous of to tell her "I'm sorry baby" and proceeds to teleport her home so they can have sex.


Now, I have the second book sitting here on my iPad, and I'm going to read it at some point, Even the unlikeable characters were well developed and had their own unique personality and voice that didn't just end up sounding the same as every other character, I enjoyed the "abilities" that some characters had and the suspensful part of this was really great! Whisper Cape is billed as a Sensual Paranormal Romance, Sounds very interesting. And it is.

The story concerns Addison “Addie” MacKenna, Growing up as a normal child there was nothing unusual about her, But after the recent death of her father she began to have nightmares, Every night. The nightmares seemed to be trying to tell her something, but she couldn't figure them out, The only concrete thing she had of her father was a single note he had written shortly before he died, It said simply, “Addison will come of age soon, Then she will inherit the powers, ”

The town Addie lived in, Whisper Cape, was fairly quiet, Until a series of gruesome killings, And the women killed all bear a striking resemblance to Addie, The police attributed them to either a bear or a mountain lion, But Addie wasn't so sure, Local legend said there was a supernatural maniac around he had always been there, and killed people on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, It was claimed if you went to the cliffs at night you could hear the voices of the dead, Hence, “Whisper Cape. ”

One morning, driving to work, Addie hits a man crossing the road, Concerned, she pulls her truck over and investigates, There was nobody to be found, She was sure she had killed him, because it was a very hard impact, But no injured man. But she had caught a glimpse of his face just before she hit him, and she would never forget that face,

Then the stranger started to show up in her life, The bar she worked at, The beach. The cliffs. He was always there. She had to get to know him, And she had started to see some unusual things happening, She could turn the TV on just by thinking about it, In fact, she could control any electrical device just by thinking abut it, She could toast bread by thinking about it, Were these the “powers” her father referred to in his final note

The stranger she thought she had killed, but kept showing up, was Cael, She approached him, and did get to know him, About all he would say he was in town “on business, ” But Addie knew there was something more there, So she dug. As it turned out Cael had some of his own special powers, Far beyond what Addie could do, And Cael knew her father, They were members of a secret society of people who had special powers, The secret society had two unique “keys, ” One was a manuscript, the other a locket, Anyone who possessed both would have unlimited powers, and could rule the earth, And, Addie had both of them,

Cael eventually tells Addie what “business” he is on, Eidolon, another member of the secret society, suspects Addie has the two keys, He has been killing the women who look like Addie, And he will kill her, and Cael, to get the keys, Cael is her protection, her bodyguard, That's why he keeps showing up, Eidolon is a shape shifter, and he is very good at it, That is, he can appear as any person or animal he wants, Addie and Cael are never really sure who, or what, Eidolon is, But Cael is not only Addie's protector, He is also her teacher, He needs Addie to expand and perfect her powers, so together they can defeat Eidolon, And Addie and Cael have fallen in love,

So the book describes two lovers who both have special abilities, and their mission is to find the shape shifter and destroy him, Walsh takes us on an enjoyable, and incredible, journey as the two try to find Eidolon, to save their own lives, Some scenes are intense, but well written, And Eidolon is not who you think he is, You will be shocked when Walsh finally reveals his real identity,

Although Whisper Cape is sold as a romance, it is more a mystery, Fans of romance novels will enjoy the book, because there is plenty of romance in it, Fans of mystery will enjoy the unexpected twists and turns in the story, There is nothing not to like about Whisper Cape, The book is well written, and character and plot development are solid, The book will keep you on the edge of your seat during the scary parts, and you will relax and sink back into your chair during the romantic parts.
Regan Walsh intertwines the two themes perfectly, Highly recommended.
