The Soft Whisper of Dreams by Christina Courtenay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I didn’t know what to expect from The Soft Whisper of Dreams. I hadn’t read the first book in the series, so I was a little nervous about jumping right in at book two. I need not have worried – this book stands alone and there isn’t any of the telltale extraneous detail that sometimes creeps in when characters walk on from another book.
Melanie has a recurring dream that is laced with a sense of danger. This story is all about that dream and the very real danger from her past. There are some genuinely scary bits. The mystery storyline sits well alongside the romance.
It’s not my favourite of Christina Courtney’s books (that’s probably New England Rocks), but it’s still very good.
