Nathan Kelly is about to give up when an angel whispers in his mind.  At first he believes the hours of torture have finally cracked him, but the woman soothing his aches and pain from afar slowly makes him a believer in higher power.  He knows his time may be short among these Afghani terrorists.  If he can get a message to his brothers he knows they will save him.

Shea Peterson doesn’t know where her special ability to connect with other’s minds comes from.  It is something she was taught to hide from a very young age.  She and her family have been hunted for as long as she can remember.  When she connects with Nathan and feels his immense pain she is determined to do what she can to help him.  A bond that cannot be broken forms between the two lost souls.

Nathan may be saved but the danger isn’t over.  He knows Shea is out there somewhere running for her life and he needs to get to her before it’s too late.  Can Nathan save the woman who kept him alive by Whispers in the Dark?

Whispers in the Dark is a deeply emotional, highly satisfying edge of your seat read!  I could not get enough of this take charge story.  From the very first page I was mesmerized by Nathan’s stark situation and his fascinating connection with Shea.  Before reading Whispers in the Dark I would never have believed that the hero and heroine of a story could form such a deep and magical connection via the mind before actually meeting and that I would like it much less love it.  The conversations between Nathan and Shea are much more intimate than anything I’ve read.  Ms. Banks characters cut through all the bull and get right to the nitty gritty which turns Whispers in the Dark into a compelling and cutting-edge romance.

Whispers in the Dark takes the KGI series into a bit of a different direction with its addition of telepathic characters.  I’m a huge fan of everything paranormal and science fiction so this doesn’t bother me but everyone may not enjoy it.  I must say that Shea’s ability makes this story amazing.  The paths that it takes the Kelly brothers and their KGI associates down are enthralling.  Who doesn’t love a conspiracy theory?  I love that the mystery surrounding Shea and her sister Grace’s abilities will continue at least into the next book if not further.

Maya Banks can do no wrong with her Kelly brothers, Whispers in the Dark is perfect!
