I finished The Whisper Man at the end of November. This was an anticipated read. It is everywhere on Bookstagram! I bought it quickly and it definitely met my expectations 😍

It was a quick and exciting read, slightly creepy but not enough to stop you from sleeping at night. I loved Tom and Jakes relationship and reading how their story unravelled, there were some twists and turns which made it pick up pace. The ending was exciting and made you question what else there was to know! It left me asking a few questions 👀. North’s writing is easy yet grabs your attention quickly - I look forward to reading more of his books! For anyone who loves a little creepiness... this book is for you!
