Review:
The House of Whispers is a dark fantasy romance read, with a retelling of Jack the Ripper. This is the first book in the Living Nightmares series, and I am excited to read more. Before I get into my review, I want readers to please be mindful of the triggers (check the author's website!). This is probably one of the darker romances that I have read, but the author does a great job with both the romance and psychological aspects. Casper, our main character, is a bouncer at The House of Whispers and has magical abilities that leave her to be trusted with the protection of the house. Here she meets the murderer who has been haunting the streets and takes an interest in her. I won't go into too much detail, but I thought C. Herbert did a wonderful job of pulling me into the darker and more haunting side of the story with her writing, characters, and overall attention to detail of the plot.
