The Whisper Man by Alex North
5.0
Serial killers. Abducted children lured out of their homes by a whispering man. Scary, neighborhood houses. Children chanting menacing rhymes. Imaginary friends. The boy in the floor. All of this brought back memories of my childhood and scary stories at pijama parties.
“If you leave a door half open, soon you'll hear the whispers spoken. If you play outside alone, soon you won't be going home. If your window's left unlatched, you'll hear him tapping at the glass. If you're lonely, sad, and blue, the Whisper Man will come for you.” Needless to say this Fall my windows will remain closed and both of my doors latched.
Alex North’s debut novel is amazing. I heard that the European version is different than the American so I’m looking forward to reading it. I enjoyed reading this thrilling novel during the month of October. Alex has great pacing and his language is beautiful but still easy to read and follow. He kept me engaged the whole time and the switching of characters in every chapter was also perfect.
This book gives a whole new meaning to hearing people whisper.
