About this listen

James Spencer is hardly the typical troubled youth who ends up at Whisperwood School for Boys. Instead of hating the strict schedules and tight oversight by staff, James blossoms, quickly making friends, indulging in his love of writing, and contemplating the merits of sneaking love poems to the elusive and aloof William Esher.

The rumors about William's sexuality and opium reliance are prime gossip material amongst the third years . . . rumors that only further pique James' curiosity to uncover what William is really like beneath all that emotional armor. And, when the normally collected William stumbles in one night, shaken and ranting of ghosts, James is the only one who believes him.

James himself has heard the nails dragging down his bedroom door and the sobs echoing in the halls at night. He knows others have, too, even if no one will admit it. The staff refuses to entertain such ridiculous tales, and punishment awaits anyone who brings it up.

Their fervent denial and the disappearance of students only furthers James' determination to find out what secrets Whisperwood is hiding . . . especially if it prevents William and himself from becoming the next victims.

Endearing Characters

A must listen /read
What I've always loved most about Kelley and Rowan's masterpieces are their developped, charming and realistic characters. I love how they are flawed and a lil messrd up sometimes, i love their quirks and all that make them feel real. In this book, I especially loved William in this one , plus, the narrator gave him such a lovely tone of voice. The main character, James, on the other hand, seemed a bit of a snob to me, but was still likeable.
This story was not my kind of read - I'm not a big fan of stories set in the past, nor do i like supernatural things- but i enjoyed it as the authors are so talented. If youre like me and have the attention of a goldfish though, it can get a bit difficult to focus as the story is so complex and full of details! Luckily, its a great story to relisten to over-and-over again which i will be doing in the near future.
Finally, the narration is just so amazing - clear and pleasing - that it definately deserves a 5 star as well.
Hopefully well get the following books of the series on here!
