Whispering Flame

Whispering Mountain, Book One

By: Carrie Jo Thomas

Narrated by: Don Warrick

Lou was having a really bad day. Her best friend stole her boyfriend. She was fired for no reason. Rent was due, and her roommate was out of town...again. Then, she found out her wonderful Grandma G had died, leaving Lou the Sweet Hearth Bakery in the small town of Whispering Mountain way up north in the Pacific Northwest. Jobless, friendless, and boyfriendless, Lou definitely needed a break from her disintegrating life. It was the perfect time to take a road trip, to run away, even...no one would even miss her, not for a while anyway. And just because she burned absolutely everything in the kitchen lately, didn’t mean she couldn’t run a bakery, right? But when a ghost who smelled like heaven saved her life and Grandma G’s pretty tabby cat with the multi-colored eyes started talking to her, it was time to ask some serious questions. Was there really magic in the town...or was she just going crazy?

PG-rated, slow burn paranormal/fantasy romantic comedy.

Just read the book

The storyline of the book was good. I enjoyed meeting the new characters and not instantly knowing the next thing that was going to happen, but this narrator is not meant to play female characters. It sounded like any average guy pretending to have a woman's voice. It made it harder to get into. His voice is great for the male characters, but ugh, the main character is a female. I would recommend the book, not the audio.
