What an interesting twist to the future and all it brings in
this paranormal/Sci-Fi book. I really like the different mixture of people and
how they learn to live together. There are some good times but more bad as a
brother and sister try their best to make the most of the life they find their
selves placed in. The author really goes into detail that really makes this
story come to life with the vivid details she gives. It was very entertaining grabbing your
attention from the first page until the last. The dreams are a wild trip you do
not want to miss. There are some very surprising twists along with a few
heartbreaking ones.
Ms. Norris does an outstanding job her character voices are
given lots of emotions that you have no trouble relating to. Her male voices
are just as good as her female’s ones. You know what each one is feeling as
they go down the path they must. There are no repeating of words, no background
noises, if any breaks where taken I could not tell. The audio is very clear and
crisp that really gives you a very enjoyable listen. I thought the narrator
really bought out each characters feeling, you could hear the hurt, lost, love,
caring and anger in her voice as she plays out the story. Her voice is very
pleasant in and out of character. It is a voice you can get lost in and you
will forget you are listening to an audio. This is the first work I have
listened to of hers, I am very much looking forward to listening to more of her
audio’s. Bottom line the audio is well worth your time, I do plan on listening
to it again. Ms. Norris performance was outstanding bring to life the audio for
me.
Night Whispers is a very original, creative story with a
wonderful plot you will be hook on from the first page. It is well written and
well thought out covering every point. I have mixed feeling about Sakhi’s
brother. He comes across as a me me me person but he is likable. I understood
why he felt the way he did but I didn’t like how he treated his sister later on
in the story. Sakhi I really liked a lot her heart is in all the right places. Thrasyllus
can be a little confusing until you get the all over picture and then he just
takes your heart away.
I loved how the paranormal was written, so many different
people with so many different needs, personalities. It was interesting to see how
things change and how they stay the same but are different. There were times my
heart stopped a few minutes with danger all around, people fighting and
killing. You are left wondering who will live and who will die. There is
adventure, thrills, chills, excitement and few heartbreaking moments. I totally
enjoyed this audio and can’t wait to see more of the author and narrators work.

Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Calinda B, comes a
dystopian tale of ruthless struggle and triumph.
For two long terrifying years, Sakhi Borren, and her beloved brother Reve,
are headed to live at The Complex. An enclosed metal and concrete manufactured
world on the barren planet Lorn, the Complex is some government's version of a
good idea. Its sole purpose is to "heal the rifts between warring
races" - a joke if ever Sakhi heard one. If she and her brother can
survive to the end, they'll leave, far richer. In the meantime, all they can
look forward to is co-existing with criminals and the scumbags known as Metas.
She's scared of Metas. Her brother loathes them.
Strict rules and "guidelines" govern their every waking hour.
Harsh punishment awaits all who violate the rules. It's a bleak, bleary,
mind-numbing existence.
A telepathic dreamer, Sakhi does her best to get along and not make waves,
working alongside her charming yet terrifying boss, Thrasyllus Blüthe, a
decorated war hero. She dreads each night, where she'll wade through the hopes
and fears of others, caught in their dream-state. It seems she can only escape
one world to be entrenched in another. But soon its evident someone is stalking
her in her dreams. It could be any number of Metas she works with. It could be
her boss. But she suspects it's someone far more deadly - her worst nightmare
and her greatest enemy - the Meta assigned as her parole officer. He wants her
eradicated - only after he seduces her.
Surviving until it's over is no longer her only option. She needs to deal
with what's right in front of her face - her present. With no one to turn to,
she leans on her brother for strength and comfort. But he might have a few
secret plans of his own that leave her with no recourse but to rely on her own
faltering strength.
