    About this audiobook

    In an all-new series, New York Times bestselling author Yasmine Galenorn invites readers to Whisper Hollow, where spirits walk among the living and the lake never gives up her dead . Fifteen years ago, I ran away from Whisper Hollow, Washington, a small town on Crescent Lake in the Olympic Peninsula. But truth is, if you were born here, you can never really leave. I'm Kerris Fellwater, and when I returned, I inherited my grandmother's house-and her gift. As a spirit shaman, it's my responsibility to drive the dead back to their graves, because around Whisper Hollow, people-and secrets-don't always stay buried. When I was little, I was told my mother ran off. But now it looks like she was murdered. With the help of my mysterious neighbor Bryan, we begin to unravel the mystery of her disappearance, and in doing so, unearth a dark force seeking to bury Whisper Hollow. Now I must work with the dead, rather than against them, because our enemy will do whatever she can to destroy the town, and she means to start with me.

      Another author I've been meaning to try... the premise is intriguing, keeping the dead at rest, town built on the confluence of leylines, shamens & guardians & (my favorite) the cursed lament singer....
      I've heard good things about this author's world building; this book was a bit much, but perhaps the next installment will smooth waters.
      Please have the editor pay closer attention: three different instances of inconsistancies in scenes that were detrimental to story flow. (for example: character dressed in trousers leaves in a swirl of skirts.... minor, but annoying).

      I was very excited about this book, despite the fact that this book is not a very popular one compare to other books I’ve read. Autumn Thorns didn’t let me down.I really like Kerris. Her mind is definitely an intrigued place to be in. And the fact that she is a spirit shaman who has a responsibility to take care of the death? Ooh! Totally make it to my “Awesome Heroines” list. And one small note on my bookworm side that loves Kerris, this girl can speed read!I love the world building of this story, with a hint of magic and awesome spoon-full of urban fantasy (which is the genre that I’m craving right now). Whisper Hollow is a dark, mystical place that makes everything seems odd in the most fantastic way, a place with secrets that are too dangerous to uncover, a place where you should trust no one. The book is full of mind-raging mysteries that keep me on my feet, and I love the feeling of waiting for the very twists that come unexpectedly.I really, really like this book. It has all the elements needed to get me right on the hook. The 2nd book is expected to be published in October 2016, and I’ve already run out of patient (not that I can do anything about it). This book is a crazy page-turner, and I highly recommend it!

      The blurb for AUTUMN THORNS reminded me a lot of Indigo court so going into the book I thought it might be too similar for me to really enjoy, but I was in for a surprise. The characters felt different, the setting felt different and the storyline was it's own.Kerris was my kind of heroine. She jumps into danger, but knows when she needs help and asks for it. She is strong and determined to get down to the nitty gritty, she's dependable and she's a loyal friend. She was just all around likable and fun to get to know. I really enjoyed watching Kerris and Bryan's connection grow. I knew right away what they meant to each other when Bryan showed. Watching Kerris not get it for a bit was a bit frustrating, but when everyone was on the same page their relationship was clearly strong and meant to be. The world building was so great that after reading AUTUMN THORNS I felt like I had visited Whisper Hollow. There was tons of danger involved in the whole book and the plot moved at a nice pace. There was a lot of investigative work going on as Kerris and her friends tried to solve the mystery. On the subject of friends, I loved Peggin and can't wait to see her in the next book.I have loved some of Yasmine's series—Indigo Court—, enjoyed some of her series—Otherworld/Sisters of the moon—, and liked ok, but probably won't continue others—Fly By Night. I am happy to say that the first book in the Whisper Hollow series, AUTUMN THORNS, has made my love list and I am hoping that continues when I pick up book 2.* This book was provided free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
