I absolutely adored this book.
There are so many reasons to love Whispers Most Foul, be it the LGBTQIA rep that is integrated into the story so seamlessly (my Bi ass could not keep up with Sylvie and Fen), the fact it's set in the wonderfully spooky Dunhallow academy, there's a bloody murder mystery and ON TOP of all that...there's magic?! Like how could you not love this story?!
I absolutely loved the characters. Sylvie was such a baddie, I would have loved to hear more about her and feel more of the enemies to lovers vibes between her and Rose.
Fen was such a sweetheart to Rose but again, their relationship seemed to have been missing something.
I was constantly guessing who was murdering the girls but I am so pleased to say I didn't guess it!
Would have loved Aveline to be even more spooky. She seemed to trail off when Sylvie entered the scene. Could maybe play that down to her becoming weaker?
Three errors I spotted in the writing:
1."After all, ere there roles reversed, Sylvie...
2. to tell hersomething. I’m only surprised she believed me.’
3. Yet Rose couldn’tt hold her gaze
Really loved the story and grateful to be given the opportunity to read in advance! 🩷
