The Guardian of Whispers (The Reeds of West Hills Book 1) by B. E. Padgett – Review by

The Guardian of Whispers by B.E. Padgett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jonathan and Franklin Reed are twin boys living in Florida with their family, which consists of their parents, Aunt Gladys, older brother Eugene, younger brother Peter, and younger sister Clara. The bossy life is pretty typical, until just after they turn 10. Then Jonathan begins to see shadows of events that happen shortly after, while Franklin starts to hear voices that nobody else hears. At first, the boys keep these new abilities to themselves, until one night Franklin has a nightmare that he is almost unable to wake up from. That’s when his mother calls in an old friend who looks at the boys and figures out what is going on with them. The friend, as well as the mother, has gifts, for the mom, it’s being an empathy, which she puts to work in her job as a cop. For the friend, it’s being able to hear other peoples thoughts, much like Frank. Jon on the other hand has a much rarer gift, the ability to see the future. The twins head off to a school in Washington state for people with just such gifts. Here they find friends, mentors and others like them, but also danger and trouble.

This book is an excellent read. I would recommend it for anyone over the age of about 10, who likes magic, mystery and friendship. I truly cannot wait for the next book in this series.
