Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Whispering Walls, the first book in the "Whispers" series, I was looking forward to reading book two, and it certainly did not disappoint. I loved the continuing storyline. The plot picks up where book one left off, although this second in the series could be read as a stand-alone and still be thoroughly enjoyable.
The story is enthralling, and the characters are engaging. There is paranormal activity that draws the reader into the plot from the beginning, and the heart of the story is main character Ariana's deep love of her grandmother, now deceased but still very much a part of Ariana's life.
There is love and romance with Ariana marrying her "knight in shining armor" Ryan, and there are thrills and chills with evil Michael intent on ruining Ariana's life and family so he could have her all to his own.
There is a true tug-of-war with good against evil underlying the action and you'll have to read the book to find out which wins out. I highly recommend this book and the entire series. Author Shirley Bear Fedorak does a great job entertaining and engaging her readers. I look forward to reading book three in the series when it’s published.

Robin's Review: Initially, I had some doubts about Whispering Tree as I'm not typically a fan of suspenseful romance novels. However, what intrigued me was the protagonist being an empath. To my delight, I found myself thoroughly invested in her story and now consider myself a fan of Shirley Bear Fedorak.
Regarding the review, the writing was seamless and flowed effortlessly. The story was well-crafted and easy to follow, with a perfect balance of suspense without being overly graphic. The author wisely avoided excessive world-building or deep character introduction details, as this is the second book in the series. The plot was refreshing and engaging, catching me off guard. Even though it's the second book, the characters were fully fleshed out and relatable, making me root for more than one of them. The family tree chart and the cast of characters' explanations at the beginning of the book proved to be quite helpful, as I referenced it multiple times throughout the story.
This book provided the exact change of pace I needed, and I've become quite fond of the characters and their tales. I plan to read and review Book 1 as well. Overall, I highly recommend this author and her series. My Favorite Lines: “Drat you man, there had better be a real house come spring, or I’ll let the icicles at your privates.” “He ran his hands through his thin brown hair. “Can you forgive an old-fashioned numbskull of a guy? I’m still learning how to be a good husband, and I admit I’m lost more often than I know what I’m doing.” “My darling little girl scrunched up her nose and sent me an annoyed mind-nudge.” “Olivia led me through dozens of soul-sucking cubicles and into a stark conference room.” “A psychopathic ghost threatened my family and haunted my dreams.” “Gran’s magic closet.” “Ryan shook his head. “You two set the women’s movement back a spell. Did it ever occur to you to step back?” “We are the women of The House,” Sarah said. “We live in The Tree now.” “We must pay for our sins,” Sarah said. “The walls keep us prisoner.” “I will love you forever and a day my handsome prince,” There are a few trigger warnings.
