Love this series. I'm glad we jumped ahead to April so lexie has had some time to heal. This book answered some questions we've had and brought some feelings out too. I've never liked Tara and after this book I can't wait until she's out the house. The only thing I didn't like was that this was a half book and was so short. Need book 5.

Lexi is working hard to getting souls to cross over while working on fixing the Veil. It is a slow processes, but it is working so far. That is until she starts to have issues and she starts keeping things from the guys.

The guys are having issues as well, and she is still trying to get over a lot of things that happened in the previous book. She has a lot to do and a lot to get done, but she may be destroying herself in the process.

This book was really good and another great addition to the story. However, there wasn't a whole lot of action that happened, and not any progress with the guys at least not really. And it felt like Lexi reverted back to the person she was previously and all of her insecurities came out and kept her from being honest and that was beyond annoying.

Other than that I thought it was good, and I can't wait to read more.

Whispers from the Dead picks up right where book 3 left off. Lexie is recovering from her attack and its been rough. She is really struggling with PTSD. On top of all that, she is still trying to fix the veil. Some of the ghosts are impatient jerks and not willing to wait for Lexie to get to them. I think what I like about these books is there is so much going on! First, Lexie is a teenage girl. She does impulsive things like punch a girl because she is mad. She is dealing with romantic feelings for her 5 best friends. Its all so normal in some aspects. Next, you have the ghosts. Every morning she goes to the cemetery and helps dead people move on. Seriously, you could focus entire books just about that! Some of the ghosts' stories are fascinating! Finally, she is learning more about her abilities and what that means.

Overall, Whispers from the Dead continues the series in a great direction. I was unsure in the beginning of the series. Lexie is sometimes such a teenager its annoying; She is impulsive and insecure. However, the plot thickens with each book and I like the direction Brunnemer is taking the story! I really can't wait for more!

Miles is still my favorite guy. I'm kind of over Zeke at this point-he just has a lot of baggage that is getting to be a bit much. My heart hurt for Issac and Ethan in this book for sure. Asher is awesome, but still second to Miles in my heart!

POV: multiple 1st (mostly Lexie though)

Tears: no

Trope: reverse harem, necromancy

Triggers:

The Ghost Bird series by CL Stone, Ariel Kimber series by Mary Martel, The Stardust series by Autumn Reed and Julia Clark...then you will probably like Whispers from the Dead!
