Series: A KGI Novel (Book 4)
Mass Market Paperback: 352 pages
Publisher: Berkley; Original edition (January 3, 2012)
Maya Banks lives in Texas with her husband, three children and assortment of pets. When she's not writing, she can be found hunting, fishing or playing poker.
I preordered this yesterday 'cause I knew it was coming out today. I was up in the middle of the night and downloaded to my K. I thought I'd read a page or two to get the feel. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! I finally climbed in beat at 5:30 this morning to get up at 7 to get to work!! First time in a very, very long time that has happened. I prefer straight romantic suspense but have given up on the genre ever having enough books to keep me going. I read some of the lighter paranormal and enjoy them. This was a very good blend of the two! I have really enjoyed all of the KGI books and look forward to the next. I was out on the data bases looking for the release date for the next one. So you know it looks like it comes out 7/3/12 if it does not get changed. Grab this one and hold on for the ride. Be sure you gather your snacks and let the dog out before you start so you don't have to stop unitl the very end. Well worth the price of the book!

I read the previous reviews and I get what they are saying. There is a paranormal twist but at least it's believable. You know she has extra abilities from the excerpt so it's not a surprise. It actually enhances the story and it makes the relationship between Nathan and Shea seem natural and not forced. The plot is good and its fast paced. While here ability makes her easy to find she is still trapped long enough that she is deeply traumatized and it is by no means a fail safe because it takes a lot of her energy to make the connection. I don't think there will be other paranormal elements in future books with the exception of Rio's because Shea and her sister are likely the only ones with powers that are strong enough to make a difference. Also there were major plot twists that had me going....WHAT?????? Shea is one of the best heroines so far in the KGI series. The story also has its typical male banter that is so funny. Its a great read and I would recommend it to anyone who loves romance.

Nathan Kelly's plan was to serve his last tour in the Middle East, and then join his brothers in their private KGI operations, an elite group who contract with the government and private sector, taking on dangerous jobs. But his plan gets screwed up when he gets captured in Afghanistan. Stuck in a dark cave, tortured, naked, and starved, he is not sure how much longer he can survive. But then he hears a voice in his head. At first he thinks he is crazy, but the voice is persistent.
It turns out to be the voice of Shea, who lives back in the States. Shea and her sister Grace have a special gift. They can use telepathy to communicate with people -- not specific people, it seems, just random people. Shea can take away someone's pain as well, and Grace can do one step better by healing them. But their special powers bring much danger to them. A year ago, their parents were murdered, while Shea and Grace narrowly escaped. Now they are being hunted by people who want to abuse their ability and most likely do worse things to them. They have separated and don't keep in contact, to stay more hidden.
When Shea hears Nathan's torture sessions, she immediately does everything she can to help take away his pain so he can endure and survive. She anonymously clues his brothers in to where he is being held, so he can be rescued. Once she is secure in knowing he is safe, she stops contact with him, as she continues her own battle to survive. But Nathan is not going to forget that voice in his head, and when Shea ends up being hunted again, she calls out for help.
Whispers in the Dark by Maya Banks is the first I've read of this series, but I think it does pretty well as a stand-alone. It has a strong beginning, as we watch Nathan truly suffer at the hands of his captors.Read more ›

Nathan Kelly has been captured and is slowly giving up hope. Just when he is at his lowest, a gentle breeze slowly enters his mind and with it, he knows warmth and peace. Unsure and quite unbelieving at first, Nathan does his best to explain away the voice in his head. He figures he has finally gone over the deep end and is imagining the angel that he comes to know as Shea. Shea is very real, however, and is the reason Nathan makes it out alive. When she disconnected from Nathan's mind after his rescue, he at once felt the emptiness and now, even months later, Nathan finds himself trying to explain why he is unable to go forward with his life. And then he hears her plea for help.
Maya Banks has written a truly amazing book with WHISPERS IN THE DARK. It is emotional, gripping, suspenseful, and just plain fantastic. Empathy and telepathy are generally unknown and frighteningly looked at as something that doesn't happen or something that is faked. But in WHISPERS IN THE DARK, Ms. Banks makes me believe that Shea and Nathan are connected. She makes me believe in happily ever afters, and she once again proves to me that as a writer, there are none better.

I have read all of the KGI stories and I have to say this one was as good as the rest of them. I liked the new twist that she put into the story. This is one of the best stories I have read in the last 6 months. Great job on this one and I can't wait for the next one to come out in July.
