I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Dawn Merriman's Rylan Flynn series continues with The Whisper House, an eerie but enjoyable and fantastic story. This addictive and twisty paranormal mystery will captivate and thrill readers, making it a difficult book to put down. 

Once again, Rylan is called upon to use her unique gift. A gift that enables her to see and speak with ghosts. The job involves her ex-boyfriend and bestselling author, Declan Rathborne. Declan wants her to investigate the possibility of ghosts living in his new home. During the course of the investigation, Rylan and her best friend, Mickey, witness a wounded young woman taking her last breath. The big question on everyone's mind was: who killed her and why?

While Rylan tries to find out more about the young woman's death and the ghost residing in Declan's house, events take an unexpected turn. Her best friend, Mickey, went missing. My thoughts were constantly racing over who took her, why, and how it connected to the young woman's death.

This series piqued my interest because of my love for paranormal stories. The first two books, The Spirit Girls and The Shadow Girls, captivated me and made me fully invested in the series. The Whisper House has joined the ranks, making it a fantastic addition to the series. The story captivated me, and I couldn't put it down as I needed answers to my questions. Merriman did an excellent job of incorporating paranormal and cozy mystery elements. The tension, along with the suspense and danger, made for an exciting read.

Rylan is a character who will appeal to most readers. Because of her abilities, people view her as a freak. There are few people in her corner. Her ability to speak to spirits came about as a result of a childhood trauma, and her life has never been the same. She lost her mother to a violent act of crime, a case that has yet to be solved.

A fascinating tale infused with family drama and a prospective romance. I wish Ford and Rylan would get over themselves and tell each other how they feel.  The featured mystery wrapped up nicely; however, there were dangling plot threads that I hope the next book will address.

The Whisper House delivered a fun and light paranormal cozy that will appeal to fans of the genre.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
