The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink is a Gut Wrenching Romantic Suspense that will literally take you on one heck of an emotional rollercoaster ride. I will add there may be some parts that maybe a be trigger for some with domestic violence and abuse. This is a beautifully written story that you can this author poured there heart and soul into it. From the very beginning I was drawn in and found myself lost in the pages and on the edge of my seat. I had a feeling what kind of person Ethan was and knew right away which direction this story was going to go. I haven’t personally ever been in this situation but I’ve got friends and family that have and its heartbreaking to think of the things they went through. Gia is a woman who has been through so much in life, she lost her mom to cancer and finds herself working at a bar but has dreams of much bigger things. Ethan is a man who on the outside seems to be everything any woman could ever dream about he is Chief of police. She quickly finds out is he’s anything but the dotting husband. Then there’s Derek who I pretty much love his character and his patience with Gia. Find out what happens next. I recommend reading this book. I don’t want to give to give to much away about this story. Im definitely going to check out more books by this author.

The intense descriptions of the domestic violence aren’t ones to wince at. This story is powerful, resilient and heartbreaking. After all Gianna has been through you’ll be rooting for her to come out on top in this book. She deserves some love in her life. Trigger warning for the weak of heart so be prepared to grab your tissue.

Holy buckets batman…. This book will kill your emotions, rip out your heart, and then ever so slowly begin to put you back together. I will say I kinda knew what I was getting into with the blurb, that it was going to be difficult and hard to read with the subject of center being domestic violence. I hate to admit it to this day but I have been here and I have friends who have been put in the hospital and through literal hell to find their way to freedom again. This is never an easy topic to read about or talk about, but it is one that needs to be more prevalent. We need more novels like this one to show the women in the struggle, or men, that they are not alone and there is light to be found at the end of the tunnel. This book does a very good job of approaching these subjects with care, research, and class. I could tell Dakota Willink places this subject close to her heart and it showed in the way this book came out. I was so moved by her author’s note chapter that I found myself tearing up there too. This book will wreck you like I said, but it is so worth every moment and you will remember it long after you finish reading it. I look forward to seeing what else is available from Dakota Willink as she is a new author to me and this was my first experience reading her stuff so I am sure it will be something worth investing in soon.

The Sound of Silence (Leave me Breathless World) by Dakota Willink has a bit of a “Sleeping With the Enemy” feel to it. It is a romantic suspense with some dark undertones that made for a compelling read.
Please note that the story could be considered a trigger for some readers- with domestic violence and abuse playing a part in the story.
Gianna and Ethan seem to be the perfect couple from the outside looking in. But appearances can be so deceiving. Life is anything but perfect- shattering Gianna’s happily ever after dream. Ethan, seems to be the perfect husband. A policeman would keep her safe- right? But who can she turn to when her husband, the cop, is her abuser? She has no choice but to escape and start over. But the past has a way of popping up when you least expect it- making for a gripping read.
Confronting. Intense. Gripping. Emotive. Sensitive topic. Dark themes. Dramatic developments. Honest. Raw. Realistic and believable. Suspenseful. Recommended reading.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Willink!

Thank you, Dakota Willink!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by Dakota Willink. I loved listening to the audio book specifically because of the different voice actors that made the story come alive. They had a female for our main female character Gia. Then for Ethan and Derek they had male voices. It was a great way to show separation of characters and they really did a great job of showing each character’s personality. This story had some heartbreaking moments and some moments where you just wanted to say ‘YASS GIRL!’. **If you have triggers to rape please be aware there are situations in this book**

Before I start my praise for this book let me first say GREAT job to the narrators!!! All 3 did a superb job.

I started this book as if it was fated to be this way…. on the 25th of November (The first day of 16 Days of activism against woman and child abuse)
Dakota Willink could not have done a better job!! Emotional, Gut wrenching, Suspenseful are some words to describe this masterpiece, but not only that…. strength, empowerment, healing, these are also words that come to mind when I think of this book.
I myself have never been abused or hurt in any way but there’s always this lingering fear that it could happen. This book (even if it’s fiction) gave me hope that even if it happened, I would be able to have the strength to come out the otherside.

Now more about the writing….
I absolutely loved the fact that it was written from different POV’s ESPECIALLY!!! the fact that we got to see inside the twisted mind of Ethan, that was really something different that I haven’t seen before and it gave the story that extra layer of interest and intrigue.
All 3 characters are well developed and the fact that the story took part over a couple of years made it more believable.
I can go on and on about this book…. but I won’t…. JUST GET IT NOW!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book took me on a ride that I wasn’t expecting…and I enjoyed it.
Mia is working at the bar one night when a man gets too handsy. Another patron, who happens to be a police office, steps in. This sets off a chain of events that leads to Mia and Ethan getting married a year later. On the night of their wedding, Mia meets a stranger while taking a few minutes to herself outside her reception. This is also the night Mia gets her first glimpse into the man her husband truly is. Years later, when she makes her escape, Mia finds herself face-to-face with the stranger from her wedding.
Derek knows that Mia is hiding something, but her is determined to take things slow because he feels Mia is the one for him. When her secrets finally come to light, Mia and Derek’s lives are both in danger. This brings about the conclusion of the book that I could not put down. I am not even sure I was breathing as I devoured each page to see what would happen!
I enjoyed this book and the characters…well, most of them. There were twists and turns that I never saw coming and it kept me turning the pages! Overall, a really good book!

The Sound of Silence
By Dakota Willink
5 out of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading the book The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink. It is a powerful story that I couldn’t stop reading once I started. I loved the characters of Gianna and Derek. Gianna is an intelligent and strong woman. She considers herself broken however she keeps putting one foot in front of another and is surviving. She also is very attracted to Derek. Derek is handsome, charming, a good business owner, and is attracted to Gianna. There is chemistry and sparks when they are near each other. She is on the run. What does the future hold for Gianna and Derek? Read this book to find out. This is an emotional story that had me angry and sad at the same time. Gianna is a character that I couldn’t help but have empathy for and grew to care about what happens to her. I wanted her to find happiness. This book does a wonderful job of dealing with a sensitive subject. It gives the reader a look into a situation that many unfortunately have to live with every day. The author makes the story and the characters come alive and I felt like I was right there with them. I got lost in the story. Don’t miss out on a book that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

This is a new author for me and I loved this first book. I can’t wait to read more from her in the future. This is a dark romance suspense story that I had a hard time putting down. There is something that can be triggers but if you get past those you will find a really awesome story. I was pulled right into the story by the characters. They took me on an emotional roller coaster ride just waiting to see what would happen next. Gianna is a woman that has been broken in more than one way. With a determination to survive she runs from her abusive husband. Then she runs into Derek. He can’t seem to stay away from her no matter how broken she is. Will he show her another way of life? I loved Gianna’s character. She is such a strong person and she shows that with everything she has gone through. I loved their chemistry and how they brought the story to life. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Amazon Top 100 Bestselling Author, Dakota Willink, delivers an emotionally gripping, dark romantic suspense that is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat!
Gianna
There’s a common expression I remind myself of every day: that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.
People think I live an idyllic life with my perfect husband, but they don’t know what lies beneath the façade.
Like the delicate petals of the daisies he loved to give, I was easily crushed—broken, just as he wanted me to be.
I’ve learned to accept what is, but I won’t let it destroy me.
Instead, I do the only thing I can to survive—I run.
Derek
I knew she had a story. I knew it most likely contained violence, but never did I imagine the horrors she’d been though.
I’d waited so long and she’d experienced so much. She was perfectly imperfect, her scars more than skin deep.
It was near impossible to separate truths from lies, but I knew her secret. Yet, I couldn’t help wanting to get closer. She was strong, and there was beauty in strength.
I was drawn to it—drawn to her.
I wanted to erase her horrors and give her something new to dream about.

Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick is a good second book for this series. The Torvik twins are back at the Tompkins School for another year. A school specifically created to kill them and others like them, as near as they can tell. Quite a bit going on in this story, it’s fast paced and there are quite a few details and lots of interesting players. There is the big mystery and it will keep you guessing. Can’t wait for the next one.

This was a really good continuation of the story about Kain and Izara. The story took a bit of a dark turn but I loved it.

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a good supernatural series.

I highly recommend reading the first book in the Topkin’s School for the Dearly Departed. You will have the story of the twins Izzy and Kain. This is a YA Paranormal story that has drama, adventure, mystery, and suspense. The Twins have abilities that they are learning to use. They are still trying to find out if their abilities are a curse or a benefit. They are not sure who they can trust and look for answers to understanding their abilities. They are on an adventure but they are still new and there could be trouble coming their way. I highly recommend this book to get lost in an adventure of the twins Izzy and Kain.

This is my second book by Tabi Slick. Tompkin’s School: For the Dearly Departed is a story that includes mystery, danger, and suspense. You absolutely need to read these in order. Besides the fact that Tabi Slick’s ability to wordsmith is outstanding- you get to follow everything happening easier with reading in order. Izzy and Kain are in the middle of it once again as the new school year starts, and new challenges evolve for them as well as new dangers and different enemies. I recommend this trilogy if you like paranormal and even if you don’t- this storyline is fantastic and will get you turning the pages to see what’s happening next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick, 4 stars.

This book picks up with our characters after book one and the suspense and action does not stop until the end. A young adult supernatural book, it revolves around students of a boarding school. Kain and Izara have changed so drastically from what they once were. The struggle between retaining what they were and believe plus coming to figure out just what they now are is very evident and makes them seem quite real. But this isn’t the only issue in this book. There are many characters for and against them, but they don’t really know just who is who. I enjoyed the cast of characters in this story.

The book itself is a great story written to keep you entertained, intrigued, and guessing. The author does a great job of this and I cannot wait to see where the story leads us next. If you are a fan of YA supernatural books, this series is for you.

4 Stars

This is a very creative story. The series is definitely original in context. I believe that you should read part one to be able to fully follow along with this book. There is time travelling several times in this book with references to book one. Jain and Izzy’s powers are developing and getting stronger. Neither enjoys being the creatures that they are but I think Izzy is accepting it more than her brother. This is their second year at the school and they are thrown into some crazy situations. There is a lot of intrigue in this book and the ending will leave you with your mouth hanging open. There are more characters introduced but unfortunately it just raises more questions. I’m hoping all of them will be answered in part three.

Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick is the second book in A Supernatural Academy Trilogy. The book continues from where book 1 left off, so I recommend reading book 1 first. The twins, Izara and Kain, are getting more control of their powers. The problem comes into with their ever-changing world who can they trust? This series got even better with this book. There is intrigue and adventure for the characters. I really enjoy how the characters are changing and adjusting to their situation and look forward to where they go in the future. This has great world building, as well. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tompkins School: For the dearly departed by Tabi Slick a fantasy of a four-star read. This is number two in the Supernatural Academy Series and it could be read as stand-alone, but honestly, I would advise you to read them in order as they do build the background and the characters. If I hadn’t read the first, I don’t think I would have enjoyed number two as much as I did. When you read this story, you are told it by the twins Kain and Izzy, you are there with them when they figure who to listen to, who to trust and who they shouldn’t. There is a lot going on with this story, a lot of jumping around, but as you read you are able to keep up and keep it all clear. This is a great story and I am eager to read the next instalment.

I loved this book! This series continues to just improve. Second books in a series in general are bridges between the first and third. They don’t usually stand well on their own or surpass the original. I might have to say that I’m glad to find this is an exception to that generalization. Extremely well written, I am fascinated by the continued character development of the twins and this paranormal universe. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and series and am seriously on pins and needles waiting for the next installment.

Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick is a YA paranormal/supernatural story.

Her cleverly casted words and crafted characters leave you wanting more. The journey with Izzy and Kain is fraught with mysteries and suspense and is truly one of a kind that is totally engrossing.

Tabi Slick has done it again with another addition to this series that is once again epic! This book was a whole other level and I couldn’t put it down! This read is such a brilliant mentally visual read, it came so easily to picture the whole read in my mind while reading it, it actually helped me connect with the storyline and characters even more! This read has mystery, action, adventure, suspense and twists and turns that have you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. I loved once again following the twins story, and it was taken up a notch by someone new coming into the read. This read has a amazing level of fantasy that I can’t help but be utterly captivated with and can’t wait to see where we are taken next. This is a brilliant YA Paranormal read that shouldn’t be missed! I can’t wait to read more from this author and see where we are taken next!

I am so here for this series and loving it! I wasn’t sure if I would but I have been hooked from book one and even more entangled now after reading book two. I truly love the way the author spins the web of intrigue as we read and makes you wonder if you even know what is going on. I really enjoy the adventurous feel you get as you follow the twins Izzy and Kain in their second year of school. This brings new questions to light and even more intrigue as to what is happening to these two. I love the way the magic and supernatural pieces are an accentuation to the story, not the whole thing as this makes it seem just a bit more realistic. I am so excited to get my hands on the next book and see what adventures it will take us on next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the continuation of the story of Kain and Izara as they continue their lives and the consequences which go with them, but we start with them on their summer holidays, Izara has chosen to stay with Lee at his home near the school in Oklahoma, but Kain has decided to go to New York and stay with his Aunt.

While Kain is in New York, he has been working as an intern at a music magazine as a journalist, or more accurately, as an errand boy, he was hoping that his would mean he could have a rest from the telepathy, but instead, they are still connected, but because of the distance between them, it is only through their dreams and these are becoming more scary and realistic at the same time. They are also changing in the way they view them, they are seeing them from each other’s points of view meaning that they don’t get as much rest as they would hope to. He has also been struggling to control his powers at the full moon.

Izara, however, has been enticed by her power and is finding it harder and harder to control it. The flames she can conjure are appearing more and more often and it is becoming harder to keep others from finding out about them. The more time that she spends with her friends, the harder she has to work to keep them and herself distracted from the truth.

As their powers become stronger and more unpredictable, their other hope of having time away from Choyce and his determination to get them to help him solve a problem didn’t happen either. He is intent on getting their help and gives them both a proposal, he will help them to get control of their powers, if they help him in return, so as they return to school and struggle to hide themselves from the teachers and the other students, Kain and Izara realise that they want the same thing but in different way, Izara wants to embrace what and who she is, but Kain only wants to do that so that he can live a normal life, graduate and continue his life.

The question is whether they can both get what they want and whether the price will be too high to pay. Will their dreams lead them to a solution and will they be able to make a deal to help each other, or will it all end in disaster?

The only way to find out is to go through the steps with them and make the same discoveries which they do.

Tompkin's School For The Dearly Departed (Supernatural Trilogy #2)Tompkin’s School For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick is the second book in the Supernatural Academy Trilogy. This boo does need to be read in order as it follows the same characters and their journey the whole way through.
This is a great addition to this series. For me I felt like it really built on everything that had happened in book 1 and showed a great development of the twins’ characters. The book was just as exciting and action packed as I found the first one to be and it was so easy to slip right back into this world – almost like you never left off.
This series is the first that I have read by this author but I am definitely enjoying her work so far. I am looking forward to reading book 3 and other work she has to offer.

Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick was an interesting paranormal read. I really enjoyed the development of Kain and Izara throughout this book. I loved getting to see more of the history and the attention to detail was great for further world building. I thought the pacing was great, I didn’t feel rushed or dragged down in any way. I cannot wait to see what happens in the third book and to get all of my questions answered!

Tompkin’s School For The Dearly Departed is the second book in the Supernatural Academy Trilogy by Tabi Slick. It is an original young adult paranormal academy story/series- with drama, mystery, action, adventure, suspense, and some fabulous world building.
After reading the first book in the series, I was hooked, and couldn’t wait to read what came next. We meet twins Izzy and Kain in Book One, two teenager who have some pretty unique abilities- but they seem to consider their powers to be more of a curse than a benefit. They still don’t fully understand their abilities- and are still looking for answers. With unknown enemies lurking, it makes knowing who to trust quite difficult. What ensues makes for a fantastic adventure!
I really recommend reading book one- so as not to feel ‘lost’ in this story. I think going into this book as a standalone could be a little confusing- so do yourself a favour and read Book #1 first.
Bring on the next book!

Thank you, Tabi Slick!

By Tabi Slick
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick. It is a story that includes mystery, danger, and suspense. It is a book that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the characters of Kain and Izara. They are finding out how their powers are more advanced than they thought. They are also finding out how hard it is to control these new abilities. Will a newcomer to the school be able to help them? Can they trust this newcomer? What is in store for Kain and Izara? Read this book to find out. The author has woven a tale that is exciting and entertaining. Each page will have you trying to figure out just what is going on. The author has also done an amazing job of making the characters come alive on the pages. Some characters are helpful to Kain and Izara and others have an agenda. Who is telling the truth and who can be trusted? This is the second book in a trilogy and the stories are best read in order. I highly recommend reading this book and series and look forward to the next book.
