Thank you to Barakah Jamison for providing an advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own and freely given.
Ok, for such a short book when I tell you this hits with BOTH FISTS, you had best believe. Barakah Jamison is a powerhouse of a narrator. Now, I had the extreme pleasure of ARC reading “Vengeance Has No Sound”, which was phenomenal by the way, so I knew when she asked for ARC readers on her latest work, I was an immediate and resounding yes. Ms. Jamison DOES NOT MISS.
I was so thoroughly transported into this world within the first page of this prologue, I knew when it was over I would mourn its conclusion. And I was right. I am BEREAVED. Forced to dance a deadly routine to find a long-buried stone of power, Anai knows that she may not survive what’s being demanded of her. It’s only through a chance encounter with Rana that she begins to see that she might be meant to be and dream for more. I won’t spoil anything else here, but OMG if you do not read this you will be missing out on one of the best novellas I have read this year.
Barakah Jamison has earned her spot on my auto-buy and auto-read list. And that last sentence… It leaves me with hope for more. Whispers of Rana is available on Halloween, October 31 and you absolutely need to put this at the top of your TBR. Trust me when I tell you, you’ll be glad you did. (Also group therapy meets on Thursday night, please bring snacks.)
