Whispers in the Waters (Blood of the Fae) by Sarah Chilson – Review by Santana Hicks

Whispers in the Waters by Sarah Chislon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jessa Caldwell comes from a proper family. One where the ladies are all proper and timid. She may try her hardest to become a proper lady but she has always known that she is different from her sisters.

Her aunt got called to help a friend in another town and Jessa offered to accompany her. What was waiting for them was not what Jessa was expecting. The friend owned a mill that had bad things happen to it over and over. Jessa takes it upon herself to find out why the mill is being targeted and by whom.

In order to do this, she must embrace her differences which makes her scared. Any woman who shows differences are considered to be fae-touched and taken away by the vigil. Jessa will do anything to restore the mill and go back home safely with her aunt.

This book was nice and slow paced, letting you get to know the main character better. There are hints of magic throughout the book. There was a lot of vocabulary about plants that I had to look up. Which was understandable considering Jessa was considered a herbalist.

This book is a prequel to another book in the series called Tattoo of Crimson. The books ends with a nice plot hook for the following book.
