Resumen del Editor

Destroy is beautiful, strong, charismatic, and charming. He is also selfish, shallow, petty, and jealous - or is he? One misunderstanding centuries ago resulted in his being labeled as not good enough, untrustworthy, self-serving. To hell with them, he knew who he really was! A strong, dependable, good male of strong character who was very pleasant to be around and even more pleasant to look at. If only he had a female or even friends to notice those things. He'd been alone for so long the bitterness had begun to seep in. Why did no one give him the credit he deserved? Why could no one see him, the real him? Other males had friends, other males had found their females - why not him? It was maddening to watch it and not be able to experience it.

Then suddenly, out of the blue, there she was - all he had to do was be himself, allow her to see his magnificence and convince her that she's not evil. Her gifts are of no consequence to him. Yes, he feels her gift - her radiance, the light pouring from her. But that's not why he's drawn to her. It's because she's his, his very heart, his soul. Now if he can manage to keep her alive long enough to love him back, while he's also trying to prove that he's a male of value to his community, he may have a shot at this mate thing.

Contains mature themes.

What great stories!

I've just finished Destroy! I've found myself falling in love with these characters! But why aren't the other two books in Audible?!

Love this series

I love this series. I so very much want the next book right now!!!

I love Destroy. I will admit in the first book I did not like him very much. If it wasn’t for Carolena actually being such a great person and talking to him no one would have known and he wouldn’t have been able to show what a great gargoyle he is.

I love how this is the 2nd book and I usually have something that I do not like about the main female character, they are usually to bitchy or whiny. But not in either of these books, they have strong moral compasses and compassion while having backbones.

Thank you Sandra Neeley!!!

Love, love, love it

The 1st book was AMAZING, the 2nd book was AWESOME. Another book I truly enjoyed, the characters in these 2 books are Sooo Great. I usually don't like too many outside stories, but these support characters and side stories complete these books. And Lily, OMG, I love her. I can't wait for the other books.

love this series!

It feels rare to have romance stories where non of the characters are shallow or otherwise annoying but this book and the first have so far been a breath of fresh air! Every character has depth and a strong personality and compassion in their own ways. I hope the rest of the series is made available on Audible! I will eagerly purchase them all!

Why aren’t there more?

These are wonderful, full of imagination, plot, passion, familial love and free of poor grammar. I want to spend much more time in Whispers with my new friends so when are the rest becoming available on Audible?

This series could go on forever and I'd be happy!

Destroy ended up having more depth than I had imagined, but he and Rowan still felt somewhat like side characters for some reason. This book felt more like 1.5 to more than book 2, like we were just reading the prologue to Enthrall's story. That's just my own take though, and it gave me no less laughter and enjoyment than the first one. I have found that this series has quickly become a favorite for me, and the writer... wow. She needs to write more! I know she's written other seires and I will read those two, but I'm too invested in this one for now and the grand finale is going to be freaking epic.. Lore. I just can't wait for that and to see what happens with Lily and her dragon. This writer gives you enough to keep you guessing and interested, but doesn't put you so far toward the edge of the cliff that it feels unbearable. Telling the stories of multiple characters at once as their lives inch forward bit by bit is a fantastic strategy to make the flow of the plot feel natural and feasible. I was also worried about Carolina dying early because she's human, so I was glad that was addressed in this one as well. Again, like in the first book, the narrator was awesome and I love her voice and the beautiful range of characters. I'll be sad when I won't be able to hear it as I read the rest of the books, since there aren't yet audiobooks for the last three books, but I don't think I can stand to wait for those to come out on Audible and I have to read them ASAP! Love this author, love this series, 5 stars all around!

Entertaining

I have really enjoyed this. The story is unusual and that makes it so much fun to hear! Loving this series.

Another great book

Book two of series was also pretty good, although not as good as the first book. I hope the next book is about Lore and Enthrall. I love the character names. Rowan’s character just didn’t seem to mesh with me and even though I loved Destroy’s character; I think Enthrall and Lore were more deserving and more interesting for a second book. Hope these two will be main characters of the next book.

Can't wait for book 3!!!

I'm loving this series, I'm hoping the other books are put on audio as well.

In need of editing

I really tried to enjoy this story, but there were too many moments that were redundant or seemed to spin in their tracks, as though the author was trying out different ways of saying something -- and then kept each version in. Often, the incorrect word was used in the text. It doesn't count if the reader/listener "gets what you mean." For Destroy to say he's going to "ravage" his woman (when what [I sincerely hope] the author meant was "ravish") was just one example of jarring textual goofs that could very easily have been avoided with just a little editing. I guess I'm too used to writers with a better grasp of how to say a lot with few words (or just better and more varied words). I just turned off the narration as the story neared its end, not able to bear the most poorly-described sex scene I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. It's a shame I didn't like this story. I was hoping for better engagement with the more likeable characters, and more development than just "who gets which woman." Another interesting idea sabotaged by poor execution.
