A haunting, dreamlike tale of sacrifice, love, and obsession' Cassandra Clare, #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE LAST HOURS
'A paranormal thriller laced with twists and revelations that will stop your heart' Aiden Thomas, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of CEMETERY BOYS
NINTH HOUSE meets THE ATLAS SIX in the haunting debut everyone's talking about . . .
Delaney Meyers-Petrov is tired of being seen as fragile just because she's Deaf. So when she's accepted into a prestigious program at Godbole University that trains students to slip between parallel worlds, she's excited for the chance to prove herself. But her semester gets off to a rocky start as she faces professors who won't accommodate her disability, and a pretentious upperclassman, Colton Price, who seems determined to despise her.
Colton Price died when he was nine years old. Quite impossibly, he woke at the feet of a green-eyed little girl. When she told him to live, he obeyed. Now, twelve years later, Delaney has stumbled back into his orbit, but Colton's been ordered to keep far away from the new girl... and the voices she hears calling to her from the shadows.
Delaney wants to keep her distance from Colton - she seems to be the only person on campus who finds him more arrogant than charming - yet after a Godbole student turns up dead, she and Colton are forced to form a tenuous alliance, plummeting down a rabbit-hole of deeply buried university secrets. But Delaney and Colton discover the cost of opening the doors between worlds when they find themselves up against something old and nameless, an enemy they need to destroy before it tears them - and their forbidden partnership - apart.
'THE WHISPERING DARK will burrow into your bones and nestle deep, refusing to let go. Kelly Andrew's prose is aching and lyrical, the mark of a master in the making. This is a story I won't soon forget' Hafsah Faizal, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of WE HUNT THE FLAME
'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 duology
'Eerie and seductive, THE WHISPERING DARK is a masterclass in dark academia. Andrew dazzles with exquisite prose, sizzling romantic tension, and a clever, twisting plot that will keep you breathless until the very end' Allison Saft, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of A FAR WILDER MAGIC

A beautiful tale about love and death

Delaney has always been hearing the dark, seeing shadows and the face of a little boy in the night... When she and Colton meet at the Godbole institute, where people learn to walk between worlds, he recognizes her instantly, but he has been told to stay away from her. Even though they try, circumstances keep bringing them together as they get wrapped up in something dark and sinister.
What I liked most about this was the beautiful prose - out of the many YA-books that exist, the writing in this one really stood out to me, because it created a dark and foreboding atmosphere and vividly painted all of the surroundings.
The only thing I thought was missing was a little more background information and explanations about the magic and the other worlds. I think the author purposely chose to keep the reader in the dark about as many things as possible for as long as possible. That sometimes did get tiring and the more obvious things could have been spelled out to make the more mysterious aspects all the more impactful.
Nevertheless, this was a very enjoyable, dark and romantic fantasy read that also had some depth to it.
chilling and creepy but beautiful

Die ersten 160 Seiten haben mich sehr viel Durchhaltevermögen gekostet. Es war sehr verwirrend und ohne wirkliche Antworten in Sicht.
Nach und nach wurden einen aber ein paar Brotkrumen zugeworfen und ich habe sie sehr schnell verschlungen!!
Ich war zwar immer noch verwirrt aber im positiven! Ich wollte wissen was von meinen Theorien stimmen und wie es ausgehen wird.
Das Buch hat mich an einigen Stellen auch sehr überrascht.
An einigen Stellen dann aber doch wieder etwas langatmiger...
But all in all Love them. Love him. Love it. War echt begeistert
