CB's Reviews > Whispers of the Dead

Overall a fairly enjoyable read, but it did bother me a bit how often I thought of Ilona Andrews as I was reading this. There was just enough similarities that it can’t be a coincidence, and it seemed to take primarily from the Kate Daniels series, but also a little from the Innkeeper Chronicles and Hidden Legacy. I did like the cast of characters in the book (maybe because I love the Ilona Andrew’s characters so much?), although I found the constant martyr complex of the heroine annoying at times.

And the super secret heritage that no one can know of, not even the reader of this book, is a plot point that has gotten old - I mean, you can tell us readers the secret, I promise we won’t tell any of the characters - I’ve noticed this trend in a couple books lately and it’s annoying. Don’t wait several books to tell me the secret because I may not care enough by then to keep reading. 3 stars.
