The Girl With the Whispering Shadow - D. E. Night

My rating: 5/5 stars 

Synopsis:                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Even a secret town cannot protect Ivy from a mysterious darkness...    

Only hours after Ivy Lovely discovers that she is the fulfillment  of the Moonsday promise, she is whisked away from her beloved school to Belzebuthe, a secret town for only those with magical blood.

Ivy sets out on a mission to uncover the second facet of the Kindred Stone while eluding the Dark Queen's wrath. But even when she's supposed to be safe, something is shadowing Ivy. She will need all her natural - born magic and more as she battles to find the rest of the Kindred Stone and return to the Halls of Ivy.

Before it's too late...

I was so happy and grateful to receive a copy of the second book in this magical series. The copy was sent to me via NettGalley approved by the author.

I find this series so magical and whimsical. The magical creatures and magic system are so great and the characters are so much fun! The friendship between Ivy, Rebecca and Fyn is the most precious part of this series.

In book 2 - The Girl With the Whispering Shadow, Ivy Lovely's adventures begin right at the end of the previous story. Ivy has a lot to learn, and despite the fact that the Dark Queen is looking for her, Ivy wants to spend the summer with her best friend Rebecca. Troubled by a letter left by her family's scrivenist Derwin Edgar Night, she must find the secret town Belzebuthe, where she can hide from the Dark Queen who wants her dead. That is also the place where she can continue her quest to discover the next piece of the Kindred Stone.

This was such a great story with wonders and little mysteries going on that intertwined at the end. And I really enjoyed the new creatures we were introduced this time, too! Now, I'm dying to seek out the third book to discover if order can be returned to world of scrivenry. 

Enjoyed it and cannot recommend it more!
