Review: Death Whispers

Death Whispers by Tamara Rose Blodgett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

Almost fifteen-year-old Caleb Hart is a Cadaver-Manipulator in the year 2025.

When teens receive a government-sanctioned pharmaceutical cocktail during school, paranormal abilities begin manifesting... making the teens more powerful than the adults.

After Caleb discovers he has the rare, Affinity for the Dead, he must do whatever it takes to hide it from a super-secret government agency whose goal is exploitation.

Caleb seeks refuge in his new girlfriend, Jade, until he realizes that she needs as much protection from her family, as he does from the government.

Suddenly, Caleb finds that hiding his ability while protecting Jade and his friends is a full time job; can he escape the government, protect Jade and lose the bullies that are making him miserable?

My Thoughts:

Cover/Title: The title and cover didn't really interest me but the synopsis did.

Characters: I loved reading about these kids, their powers and the challenges that they face.

Plot: During genetic studies of the human DNA, they discovered that humans could develop paranormal abilities. The government then creates a vaccine that they give to teens in the hopes that they develop abilities. As with anything else, greed and power corrupt and these teens are left trying to keep themselves safe and free to live their lives.

Overall: I loved this book. I loved learning about the different powers and the levels for each one. I can't wait to read book 2 and see what these kids get up to next.
