"Jumping from a waterfall to escape imminent danger and being bitten by a werewolf, Winnie Wednesday is like a cat with nine lives. Or do the dark creatures in the forest aid her when needed? The latter seems to be the case. The local hunters in training treat it as if it were the coolest thing and not a nightmare she wants to forget. It seems the only people who understand are her ex-best friend Jay and the friend she tried to save the night of their 3rd and final trial. <br/><br/>Book 2 in this trilogy uncovers more about the whispers that seem to only come around when she is in the woods. Her father has hidden some clues about what happened before he was driven out of town away from her and her mother. As Winn gets closer to finding out who set her father up, she and Jay run into more issues that they must work together to resolve. They also have to fix the previous 4 years when Jay appeared to abandon her when she needed him most. <br/><br/>I’m enjoying this series, but I wish it was a little longer to explain how this magical world works and the characters' roles in managing the town and their lives. I just feel like some things are missing that could have had more backstory to make them fall into place, as well as what people do now in this urban world of paranormal creatures. <br/><br/>Perhaps the physical books have more information, such as a family tree and maps, that you don’t get listening to the audiobook. Regardless, I still enjoyed the story, and nothing made me want to stop listening to it. <br/><br/>Book 3, The Whispering Night, is set to release on 11/19/24, and I will be reading the ARC prior to release for the conclusion of this series."
