Whispering Hills By Taryn Browning

Whispering Hills (Whispering Hills, #1)Whispering Hills by Taryn Browning
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

When Alexis hears the thoughts of a killer, she knows she has to find out who it is before they kill again. Though, what she doesn't realize, is that working out the mystery will open her memory to an event that should have been different.
Can you really change fate, and not have any implications?

This was an okay book, but all the plot holes ruined it, and by the halfway mark, i was quite bored.

Alexis stated how she can only hear peoples thoughts when they made decisions, but i found the stuff they thought quite odd.
In one part, a girl thought: "Screw the calories, i'm eating the whole cupcake" While that isn't an unusual thought, it's odd how she phrased it. While thinking to ourselves, we wouldn't talk in full sentences all the time, we'd simply think "Screw it" and carry on demolishing the cupcake.
There was also another one with the killer, when he thought: "I'll put her dead body in the lake" The killer obviously knew the victim was dead, so why mention the dead body bit? You'd just think "I'll put her in the lake"

I found Alexis quite stupid at times. I guessed quiet early on what Chance's secret was, but it took Alexis half the book to find out. It's not like he kept his secret heavily guarded, it was pretty obvious that something was up, but Alexis completely missed it.

Overall, this was an alright paranormal story, but the plot holes really ruined it.
