Overall, The Whisper Man is definitely worth the hype it’s getting. The descriptions of how they both wanted to reach out and reconnect with the other but didn’t know how–man, I felt for both of them! Jake’s whole character was extremely well-developed, and I loved him and his realistic emotions. I loved the storyline of Tom’s struggling relationship with Jake in the wake of Jake’s mother’s death. Alex North is turning out to be a master of the creepy-kid theme! All of the plot points were carefully thought out and satisfyingly wrapped up in the end. This was another example of a perfect thriller: fast-paced, intriguing, creepy, and suspenseful. I’d seen that The Whisper Man was rated even higher, and I can’t help but agree. I picked up The Whisper Man on the heels of The Shadows, which I absolutely loved. The little girl that Jake speaks to is his mother, from a photograph he found of her and anthropomorphized. Tom and Jake begin to be able to open up to each other. Pete dies due to the injuries from his fight with George. He had taken Jake “to protect him”, but was also crazy. He was the son of the original Whisper Man, and had seen the horrors his father committed. The current Whisper Man was the teacher’s aide at Jake’s school, George.

Because of his contribution to Christian theology, Athanasius earned the Coptic title ‘Athanasios Pi-Apostolikos’ which means ‘Athanasius the Apostolic.’ Because of his constant rivalry with emperors, Athanasius earned the Latin title ‘Athanasius Contra Mundum’ which means ‘Athanasius Against the World’. The first is called ‘Against the Gentiles’ where he argues against the pagans, the second is ‘On the Incarnation,’ where he speaks about the incarnation of Jesus Christ, and the third is ‘The Life of St Anthony’, where he tells the story of the great monk St Anthony. St Athanasius wrote many books, three of which are particularly famous. ‘On the Incarnation’, one of the most famous books in all Christian history, was written by an equally famous saint – beloved of the Egyptians – St Athanasius the Great of Alexandria.

Is the first full-length, romance novel in Meghan March's ‘Forge Trilogy’ Series. It’s never explicitly stated but can be inferred through style, clothing, and general attitude. Boydell telling this story with the 2005 scene kid background is an interesting hook. Life isn’t “happening” as they expect it to and everything is just boring and uninteresting.

I hope you will continue the story of Anne, The Academy and all the other characters you introduced.”“I really enjoyed your book.
