Is he real, or was it all in her mind? Alice's parents had always told her when she was nine that the abandoned estate they moved into was just a fixer-upper, but Alice knew better. From the moment she stepped inside, she could feel the dark energy that permeated the walls. It wasn't long before she heard whispers in the darkness, a haunting male voice that seemed to be calling to her, or noises coming from the walls of the estate. During her senior year of high school, she begins to party recklessly, trying to explore her sexuality and searching for a way to escape the haunting messages that follow her everywhere. But at night, he gives her that she craves. The more reckless she becomes, the encounters become real. She wants to discover the truth and begins to unravel the estate's secrets to discover the reality haunting her for so long.
Whispers in the Dark by Delilah Croww was published December 2023.
I received this book for my honest review. This book was totally not what I was expecting at all. This book put me through the ringer and kept flipping the script in my mind. I felt for Alice in the way that her mom treated her and the way her stepfather was treating her. He gave me a huge ick from the get go of the book. There is so much going on in this book. Anyways, I feel for Alice throughout the book as people were saying she was freak. She didn't know whether she was imagining things or if they were really happening to her. Hades in the book was confusing as heck. I couldn't decide how he fell in love with Alice in the book. In the end of the book it was explained but I was still confused how it all happened. There was not much back history of the two of them in the book. Though, I thought he was so interesting having two sides of him. But...I needed more in the book. The plot had a lot of good points there was point I thought something was going to happen but it didn't. But it did not take away from the scene. The smut in this book is so dark and very graphic that it was the lead in the book. I actually think in some places that the smut took over from the story. I needed more in their relationship and the ending really threw off the totally book. Was it all a dream or did it really happen. Or was it a premotion that going to happen. So confused.... but it's a good read. I recommend checking it out.
