Description
"Ren is the most morally gray of all heroes...Could we let our fractured pasts go, or would we forever chase absolution, only to realize that only serves to keep us imprisoned? There is no clear answer, and there shouldn’t be, but the chase itself makes for a hell of story."
—CARTER WILSON, USA Today bestselling author of Tell Me What You Did
She’s right. It can never happen again. She won’t let it.
Ten years have passed, and Ren Taylor is back at square one, having accepted a job at her old high school. She’d hoped to make peace with the past but now she’s thrust back into it: her murdered teenage sister is still immortalized in town, and Ren can’t stop seeing her wherever she goes. She’s dogged by the scandal that ruined her childhood and killed her sister.
Then Ren meets physics teacher Bryson Lewis. Handsome and charismatic, all the other teachers and students seem to fall at his feet. But Ren knows men like him – she knows they can’t be trusted.
The more Ren watches him, the more suspicious she becomes. And when she notices his close relationship with a girl in one of his classes – a girl just like her sister – she worries history is about to repeat itself. This time, she won’t sit back and watch another girl be taken before her time.
This time, Ren will do what she must to save her, even if it means revealing her own darkest secrets.

—MAY COBB, author of The Hunting Wives
“Puzzle pieces change shape as the fierce female characters shift in the shadows, and the author keeps us twisting and tumbling until the whispers become roars. Unforgettable.”
—KD ALDYN, author of Sister, Butcher, Sister
“Emotions run deep in this tension-filled and expertly-plotted thriller about grief, sisterhood, the hurts that won’t heal, and the haunting memories we can’t leave behind. Whispers of Dead Girls is a gripping exploration of damaged girls and the things that break them.”
