Almost fifteen-year-old Caleb Hart is a Cadaver-Manipulator in the year 2025.
When teens receive a government-sanctioned pharmaceutical cocktail during school, paranormal abilities begin manifesting... making the teens more powerful than the adults.
After Caleb discovers he has the rare, Affinity for the Dead, he must do whatever it takes to hide it from a super-secret government agency whose goal is exploitation.
Caleb seeks refuge in his new girlfriend, Jade, until he realizes that she needs as much protection from her family, as he does from the government.
Suddenly, Caleb finds that hiding his ability while protecting Jade and his friends is a full time job; can he escape the government, protect Jade and lose the bullies that are making him miserable?
MY REVIEW
Death Whispers
Death Whispers is set in the year 2025 when all teens are given a vaccine that causes almost all of the students to develop paranormal abilities. Caleb Hart a fifteen year old boy learns that he has an Affinity for the Dead the rarest ability of all. Caleb must hide the fact that he has this ability from the government. Hiding his ability from the government and others as well is not as easy as it may seem. If the government finds out that his Affinity for the Dead is off the scale then they would take Caleb and he would have to live in their labs so that they could study him and they would also make him work for them.
Affinity for the Dead means that Caleb can raise the dead and make them do what he wants them to do. He is their master. He also has the ability to put them back in their graves but sometimes he needs help from his girlfriend Jade and her paranormal ability. All of Caleb's friends have paranormal abilities as well. They have different abilities than Caleb and their powers are not as strong. Caleb is very smart for his age; he tries very hard to take care of Jade. Jade's father is an alcoholic and likes to use Jade as a punching bag. Jade was taken out of her father's home and sent to live with her Aunt. Caleb also watches out for all of his friends even the J's, John and Jonesy. The J's are like most teens that like to take risks and is always looking for something new to get into. They are very comical too. Always saying things to make you laugh.
Caleb and his friends are always being chased and running away from bullies. I never really seen anything that they had did to these bullies. You know anything that would give them a reason to chase them down and want to beat them up but I guess that is why they are called bullies. Caleb and the guys made themselves a real cool hideout. Somewhere they could go to hide from the bullies and hopefully a safe place to hide from the government also.
I really loved reading Death Whispers with all the action and twist and turns. I loved the twist on the walking dead. I mean these guys could talk well it wasn't like they could hold a conversation or anything. But they could say words though. The dead didn't walk around and kill people all the time although they could if Caleb gave the command. This was one great book. If you like reading about the walking dead then I think you would really love Death Whispers. I can't wait to read more about Caleb, the J's, Jade and all of the characters in the Death Series.
