He’d tell her everything, in time. About the Apostle. About the Priory. About Liam. About the pledge they all made, the thin lip of Hell they’d found in the outskirts of Chicago. About nine-year-old Colton, who’d thrashed his way through the frozen Cocytus itself to lay himself at her feet. Drawn to her, drawn to her, the way every other dead, shivering thing drew in close.” She was four feet away from him, and for the second time that day, the elevator doors were about to slam shut in her face. He leaned over and jabbed a button, halting their advance. She watched him with a razor-sharp acuity. She didn’t move. Her cheeks were pinked, her wide-eyed stare fringed by dark lashes. With slow-budding alarm, he realized he’d spoken her name right out loud. Ivory tower academia, but make it cosmic horror.

Courtesy Scholastic. Illustrated by Sasha Vinogradova; Art Direction by Maeve Norton. Part One: The Resurrection of Colton Price Ok here's a list some of my fave quotes (doesn't even cover half of them but this is already getting so long): The second day of testing, the aspirants had been called one by one into a little wan room by a little wan man, made to sit in a polypropylene chair with the legs gone loose. There, the darkness had pressed cool and close. It fell across her lap in shallow pools of blue. It coiled against her like a happy cat. Ivory tower academia, but make it cosmic horror. THE WHISPERING DARK seethes with forbidden romance and truly terrifying shadows' Hannah Whitten, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE WILDERWOOD duologyNow for the bad…… Oh boy. 😬 Most of my problems with this book can be boiled down to this: the writing is utterly terrible. Not in an obvious way (you can’t really grab a random quote to show how poorly written this book was); more in a structural sense: poor world building, underdeveloped relationships, no explanations, missing scenes… Reading this left me confused and incredibly frustrated. I have NEVER read a book that’s in such desperate need of an editor! My one complaint would be that I wanted some more lore and academia-type studies. It’s glossed over for the most part, but I did enjoy the pieces we got. This book is definitely a Hades and Persephone retelling in disguise. I honestly don’t have the words to describe my love for this book. I was near tears at the end.
The kiss was a surprise, immediate and immolating. There was nothing sweet about it. Nothing soft. Only the clash of mouths, the scrap of teeth. They collided the way they always did. Like they were going to war". An unconventional and deep story on love, loneliness, overcoming handicaps to excell in life, love and finding a purpose with deep meaning. A bit creepy and atmospheric (for young adults mostly, though). Not to mention, nothing made sense about the climax. We got no concrete answers about what the hell sort of cult Colton was pledged to. The “Apostle” was the most obvious person ever and would have been better if the author just straight-up said who it was instead of making it a mystery. The whole premise is supposed to be about going into parallel universes, but it was so irrelevant to the plot it could have been cut out entirely. Oh, not to mention, Colton freaking KILLS SOMEONE and BURIES THEIR BODY in the woods and we never hear about this again.

He'd tell her everything, in time [...] About nine-year-old Colton, who'd thrashed his way through the frozen Cocytus itself to lay himself at her feet. Drawn to her, drawn to her, the way every other dead thing drew in close. A winter's queen. A graveyard's queen".
No me ha gustado nada debido a todo el amor-odio entre los protagonistas. Lo único reseñable son las últimas 50 páginas y aún así no son la panacea. Este libro es más de romance que de paranormal.If you compare it to "Ninth House", which is one of my favorite books of all time along with its sequel, yes, it's a YA version of it. When you compare it to "The Raven Boys", it feels like the NA version of it and with "The Atlas Six" it matches perfectly~•~ This is a tale full of mystery and murder, perfect for both Dark Academia fans and those who enjoy supernatural spookiness! Romantic and horror-filled, with tension and twists at every turn, The Whispering Dark follows Delaney Meyers-Petrov as she navigates Godbole University, a school that seems to contain more secrets than students. Having been accepted into a prestigious program where students are taught to slip between parallel worlds, Delaney soon finds herself hearing voices in the shadows and facing entities that lurk in the dark.
