Written for a young adult audience, Whispers in the Dark is a paranormal story surrounding a new teacher, Adrian Ramirez, and his students at the elite Finley Academy. The story is fairly fast paced and has several surprise twists that keep it interesting, but I had a few issues with it.
During the initial build up of the story there was some allusion to a mystery surrounding the school that went back many years. The rumors and mystery had existed when Adrian was a child growing up in the area, but never allowed near the school. When he returns as an adult to teach there he decides to uncover the mystery, but the one he finds is only a year old.
After an exciting climax, the ending is a bit of a let down. I will refrain from spoilers and simply say that I was expecting more from the hero of the story. Especially since it is written for a young adult audience the characters should grow and learn from their mistakes.
Although the story started off well, over all it was rather disappointing. I would not read it again. It makes a good read if you are bored and looking for something with lots of unexpected plot twists.
