Phoebe Kitanidis - Whisper

Phoebe Kitanidis
Whisper


I'd love a cup of coffee. . . . I wish she didn't hide how pretty she is. . . . I hope she didn't find out what Ben said about her. . . . I wish I knew how many calories were in a bite of muffin. . .

Joy is used to Hearing Whispers. She's used to walking down the street and instantly knowing people's deepest, darkest desires. She uses this talent for good - to make people happy and give them what they want. But for her older sister, Jessica, the family gift is a curse, and she uses it to make people's lives - especially Joy's - miserable. Still, when Joy Hears Jessica Whisper I want to kill my Hearing dead, and kill me too if that's what it takes, she knows she has to save her sister, even if it means deserting her friends, stealing a car, and running away with a boy she barely knows - a boy who may have a dark secret of his own.





Whisper, while it is not one of the best novels I have read I did enjoy reading it. It was a nice change from all the vampires. It's a believable storyline aswell . .  . something that might actually happen in real life if you believe in this sort of thing ;)

It is refreshing to read about sisters who don't get along all the time because in so many books it's always make believe. You'll enjoy this is you like phsycic stories. It's a moving novel about sisters becoming close and a girl realising life changes and sometimes it's not always for the best.
