Book Review : Murmur.

By Emily Israd.

First of all, I’d like to thank Author Emily Israd for giving me the chance to read and review this book: Murmur. This review is spoiler-free and no main plot points are revealed and completely my perspective. So, I don’t expect everyone to agree with me but the only thing I can try is convince you guys to give this book a read.

Synopsis : Hannah Sterling can change into a bird.

Or at least, she could until this past summer. When the Sickness takes away her shapeshifting ability, Hannah finds herself grounded—maybe for good.

But there’s no time to worry about that. Life in Jessup, Oklahoma has started heading south, fast. A student is killed, a biker gang is on the prowl, and the man Hannah’s father just hired is seriously giving her the creeps.

Meanwhile, Jack Corbin is having problems of his own. Life as the local miracle healer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and Jack’s strange power seems to be drawing clients and danger in equal measure.

With the darkness closing in, Hannah and Jack need to take hold of their powers to protect the people they love.

It’s going to take every ounce of luck—and magic—to get out of this one alive

On to the review,

I liked the book a lot . The characters are adorable and the plot is gripping. I wouldn’t call myself a fast reader at all because I have so much to do and there’s so little time but I was addicted to this book and read it in one sitting. Once you thought you’d reached a good stopping point something new would pop up. It was like watching my favorite TV show ( difference? I got to cast the characters )

The story starts with Hannah learning that she is sick which means she is either going to lose her ability to shift or gain new abilities.

Like I promised, NO SPOILERS, so here are the things I really enjoyed about the book :

The characters are adorable. I enjoyed reading about the lives of the four main characters, Hannah, Jack, Will, and Finn (especially Will and Finn). Gave me a “Stranger Things” vibes. There’s LGBTQ representation which is great. Plot of any book is definitely the best thing about it and I believe this book was amazing in that aspect.

It was dynamic and really fun to read. For any of you wondering, this is actually the First book of the “Wildheart” series followed by “The Raven Mocker” and “Devil’s Den” and I cannot wait to read those.
I can also kind of see this book being adapted for a TV show or maybe a Movie Trilogy in the future. Yes. It’s that good. So I hope you guys will pick this book up as you won’t regret it at all.
