 Hello everybody! E here. E here. Welcome back to another book review and yes, I'm already laughing because I don't want to be here. We're talking about John Connelly's The Whispers. This is probably my least favorite book in the series, Hands Down, like the other ones I was talking about. I read this one months ago. I'm going to read you the description on the back of the book to try and refresh my memory so I can talk about this. I didn't do any notes and unfortunately the book was so forgettable I don't remember anything about this one whatsoever. The other ones I vaguely remember some stuff, but this one has a sticker over the description and of course it's going to rip, but I can see through it. In The Dark Reaches of Maines Northwoods, a group of Iraq war veterans is engaged in a ruthless smuggling operation across the Canadian border. I don't remember any of that. If that's a plot of the story, but what they have unleashed is far more dangerous than even they realize. An ancient evil locked away in Iraq for centuries. I think I do remember something about that, about the looting that happened in Iraq. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. I read two other books that had to deal with the same thing around the same time oddly enough, but it was one of those plot lines that again, like I said, it did absolutely nothing for me. I don't even remember the interactions that I normally love with Parker, Louis, whatever, and Angel. People has dogged Charlie Parker's steps, costing him his career as a cop and his license as a private investigator. Again, that happened before Reapers, so that happened several books back. Now as veterans begin dying mysteriously, he is called in to stop the bloodletting. Oh, is this the one about PTSD? I think it was. It had very heavy notes of that in it. I think I did end up liking that bit and it also has to deal with the collector. I'm pretty sure because anytime there's like a stolen item in this universe, the collector pops up. Which I love the collector. Don't get me wrong, I just can't remember his point in this one. I guess to find the piece that was stolen. But the smuggled, literally it says but. I didn't say but, this was said, but the smuggled objects have attracted the attention of the reclusive Herod and his henchmen. The shadowy figure he calls the captain. To defeat them, Parker must form an uneasy alliance with a man he fears more than any other, the killer known as the collector. So it wasn't a spoiler. It was literally on the back of the book. I don't remember anything about this one. I'm giving it two stars. I am so looking forward to restarting this. Me and my buddy Aaron Nash are going through these books. We're reading a fantasy novel, a John Irving novel, a science fiction novel, and then a Connolly novel. Maybe not in that order, but we're clintending our pallet between Connolly novels because now they're kind of just, they're just all blurring together. So we're putting some space because we read all four of these. We read the Reapers. We read, let's see here, the Lovers. And the next review you'll get for me is for the Burning Soul. But we read those four back to back to back. And it just, you really started to see the structural. You really started to see the stuff that, what he uses like the plot points that he uses over and over and over again. But I hear with the Wrath of Angels, he brings back the supernatural hardcore, and that's what I'm looking forward to. So have you read The Whispers? Did you like it? Did you not? I would love to hear from you if you liked it and what you liked so much about it. Leave all those comments down there in the doobly-doo. But until next time, I have an E, you have an U. This has been another book review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye bye.
