Myah
My life literally changed in the blink of an eye. I was happy, I was whole... and then my father died. Since then I haven't been the same.

Kyle
I've been half in love with Myah Wilks for as long as I can remember. She's short and sassy--or she was until tragedy struck. Changes in her life left an opening for me, the one I've been waiting for and I'm jumping--with both feet. This amazing girl has more fight in her pinky than most people do in their whole body... she just needs to be reminded. She also needs to purge those demons and let her secrets go. Maybe, just maybe, she'll let me in and trust me with her whispered truths.

Review by: LISA
As I was reading this story, I found myself intrigue immensely by everything that was going on. This book gives you the reality of how teenagers act nowadays but this book also provides a lot more than that. There's a whole storyline that takes you by surprise upon surprise when you least expect it. The author's plot concept is excellent and leaves a lot for more to come which is very exciting. While I was reading it, it was almost as if you can't help but reflect on your own life and think about the what if's... It makes you think, it makes you feel, it makes you read until the end! - time is not our friend, go and get it! I don't like to give the long version of a review bc I don't want to spoil anything for other readers so take my word for it and grab a copy and find yourself immersed for hours before coming up for air. Thank You Again Author Anne Mercier for a wonderful read and completely different from your Rocker Series that I also love, this was a refreshing change in genre! 3 words though - Need More Stew!! |

Fantastic!
Amazing! I could go on and on. So I will! While it is
slightly
reminiscent of other books I have read, it has more
“my friends
are my family” dynamic. This group of friends is
so
incredibly tight knit. They are there for each other through
thick and
thin.
I love
Myah’s character. She is so strong and resilient. She
has decided
to take no more crap off her awful mother and
has taken
the steps to free herself of her for good. But she
doesn’t just
take herself into account. She knows her friends
are her
lifeline and includes them in the outcome. She makes
a place for
everyone that means something to her.
Kyle’s
character is very sweet, yet wildly protective. He too
has that
same family closeness with their group and would
do anything for
any of them.
Kyle and
Myah have had the hots for each other for years but
never acted
on it. Everyone in their group could see is plain
as day. When
they decide to act on their feelings, nobody
gives them a
hard time. Instead it is a lot a back slapping and
“finally”.
Things get
ugly between Myah and her mother and
revelations
are made that rock her world. She knows that she
will make it
through because she has the love of Kyle and her
family.
I am so in
love with this book and am hoping with fingers
crossed that
this will be a loooonnnnggggg series with each
character getting their HEA.

Review by: AMY
“Baby, your life as you knew it is no more.” I loved this book!! I’m not sure if it was the blind faith, the mature nature of the characters or just the willingness to succeed that made me so enthralled with this book. I was drawn in and couldn’t stop reading until the book was done. This book had courage, love and so much dang sweetness that I was just smitten.
Myah was a fantastic lead character! She had so much heart and soul to give everyone she crossed paths with. She couldn’t allow the crappy hand she was delt to bring her down. She overcame all kinds of obstacles by just being lovable, easy going Myah. People were drawn to her and would protect her with their lives. In turn she would strengthen the bonds she built and her loyalty would be unwavering.
Enter Kyle…boy crush since the third grade and she could just feel the lust from across the crowded classroom. It was adorable to watch their school relationship grow and grow becoming amazing friends. These two made fumbling around with their feeling just a pleasure to watch. In fact, all of the supporting cast, friends for life, made this book amazing. In loved watching everyone take care of everyone. Even at a young age, these kids had more maturity than most adults.
This book was a great read for me. I really enjoyed the writing and flow of the book. The characters were fabulously developed and meshed great together. The storyline was interesting and had me hooked right away. I completely recommend this book! I can’t wait to read more from Anne because this introduction book for me was fantastic!
5 Star read all the way!!
Review by: HEATHER
Whispered Truths is a love story yes but it is so much more. It about loss and friendship and how those friends can quickly become your family. It’s about finding yourself and sticking up for yourself and persevering after so much pain.
I don’t want to give anything away in this review. Ann Mercier’s words are touching and at times raw. You can feel everything that these characters are feeling. The array of feels in this book was plenty.
The plot line, though some of it I had time believing, was interesting and fresh. This isn’t your average best friends fall for each other story line it is so much more than that.
Anne creates this world that just sucks you right in and has you rooting so hard for the heroine in this story. Though very much on the YA side, moments were pretty hot and the drama had me clenching my fists.
This was the great start to a new series and I cannot wait to see what comes next for these crazy kids!

Review by: TATIA
Whispered Truths started off strong. Myah has had to deal with more than most young adults never thought they'd have to. After losing one parent and dealing with a boy at school, her mom also gives her hell at home. It's definitely not the easiest of situations, but she's a strong girl, which she continually shows throughout the story. It's a story of growth, strength, and maturity, all of which is shown through many characters. These kids grew up together and have survived the test of time, forming bonds that can survive just about everything. But even the strongest person can be broken.
I truly enjoyed this story, I just felt as though it ended too suddenly. I know we're getting another book, which is probably about someone else in the story, but I just felt like too much was left open. All in all, It was an easy read that I'm sure many will enjoy.
