Whisper Cape by Regan Walsh
Synopsis:
A powerful woman, an extraordinary man, and a maniac who wants
to destroy them. Fate has brought them together, but will it make them stronger
or destroy them all in end?
Escape to a world where the impossible becomes
possible and sparks ignite.
WHISPER CAPE is a town of secrets and
Addison MacKenna soon becomes tangled in a web of them. Plagued with nightmares
of her father's sudden and brutal death, Addie struggles with her anguish and
refuses to believe his demise was accidental.
Fighting to shake off one of those devastating early morning nightmares,
Addison finds it even harder to escape from the vision of a man lying on the
side of the road--a man she may have just killed. When she frantically tries to
locate him, he seemingly disappears, just the beginning of strange occurrences
in her life. She also cannot ignore the weird sensations in her own body.
Suddenly, the impossible seems possible, but is that a blessing or a curse?
Believing that her continual and worsening nightmares are both the key to her
own new abilities and the clue to her father's death, Addie knows she will not
rest until she has the answers she craves. As she strives to cope with her new
remarkable talents, someone else learns of her abilities--a disgruntled
maniacal psychopath with his own agenda that involves eliminating Addie. The
only one who can protect her, instruct her in the use of her powers and teach
her how to destroy the murderous monster is the same man who makes Addie's
heart race and her blood heat with passion. The same man she'd left for dead.
Cael Sheridan may be arrogant and mysterious but he's also undeniably gorgeous.
A member of a secret society, he is sworn to protect the woman he believes to
be the daughter of his recently murdered mentor. In the process, he finds it
impossible to resist her magnetic sensuality, complicating his efforts to
shield and guide her as she learns to manage her newly acquired skills. At the same
time, Addison has much to teach him about trust and commitment. Fate has
brought them together, but will it make them stronger or destroy them both in
end?
Review:
The
first book is a good start to a new series. Like most first books, it starts
with a slow beginning but quickly picks up.
After her father dies mysteriously, Addie, a 26 year old, begins to have
nightmares every night. She has a hard time figuring out what they mean and
ties them into the strange note her father had left for her.
Moving to Oregon where her father and aunt grew up she works in the restaurant
Whisper Cape where she is introduced into the paranormal world. Suddenly Addie
discovers a hidden talent she never knew she had. With her telekinetic
abilities she can control electrical devices.
Cael is on a quest to find a powerful crystal and is associated with a sacred
book. He has supernatural skills of his own (teleportation).
When Cael shows up, Addie thinks she has run him over with her truck and is
surprised to see him all over town. Once she approaches him and they start
talking, they are immediately attracted to one another. When women who look
like Addie start showing up dead, Cael feels he must protect her. This gives
their romance a chance to heat up.
Throughout the pages, we are introduced to new characters, a secret society
with shape shifters among other being. The story has a mixture of romance, lots
of sex and action with supernatural/paranormal twists and turns that will keep
you guessing as to who the villain really is. The author gives lots of details
with vivid descriptions that drew me into the story, making me feel as if I was
there with the characters. The story is well plotted and everything is tied
together in the end and leaves you knowing exactly what has happened. A great
stand-alone story, I am looking forward to reading the second book in the
series to see how the author continues the storyline. I was pleasantly surprised when the books
turns out extremely better than the description. This book was very hard to put down. Regan Walsh writes with great passion and
detail that you can’t help but get caught up in the story. She has a great way of developing not only
the main characters but others as well.
I hope the book leads to a series, but this book definitely is a great
stand alone book. I highly recommend the
book and give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
