The Murmurings

By Carly Anne West

Book Overview

A teen starts hearing the same voices that drove her sister to commit suicide in this "atmospheric, paranormal chiller (that) will appeal to fans of Stephen King" (VOYA).

The voices in her head are not her own...

Everyone thinks Sophie's sister, Nell, went crazy. After all, she heard strange voices that drove her to commit suicide. But Sophie doesn't believe that Nell would take her own life, and she's convinced that Nell's doctor knows more than he's letting on.

As Sophie starts to piece together Nell's last days, every lead ends in a web of lies. And the deeper Sophie digs, the more danger she's in--because now she's hearing the same haunting whispers. Sophie's starting to think she's going crazy too. Or worse, that maybe she's not...

Customer Reviews

Very Suspenseful Book, Predictable Ending.

This book is super suspenseful and mysterious. The plot is insane and very unnerving. The ending was somewhat predictable for me but it is a really great read. Would definitely recommend.

Love!

This is the best book ever! I love it and really hope she writes more!
