About this book

Eva is a biologically enhanced Marine with a fractured past and a lethal mission. Stationed in Okinawa to hunt a supernatural killer responsible for the brutal deaths of American soldiers, she is a woman built for war. But when her investigation leads her to the enigmatic Marcos, the mission takes a dangerous turn. Suddenly, long-buried memories begin to surface, revealing a haunting connection between them that defies explanation.

This gripping novel masterfully blends high-stakes military suspense with a chilling paranormal edge. As Eva and her team navigate the island’s dark, folklore-steeped history, she must balance her duty to save lives with the desperate need to reclaim her own identity. The lines between the living and the dead blur, forcing her to confront a terrifying threat that may be tied to the very secrets she has spent a lifetime trying to forget.

It is a wild, adrenaline-fueled ride where ghosts are real, the stakes are life-or-death, and the chemistry is as intense as the action. Dive into this haunted romance where the past is a weapon and the truth is the most dangerous ghost of all.

romantic suspense with a twist of paranormal

June 11, 2017

When Darkness Whispers by Lisa Carlisle was quite a wild ride. It's a military romance that has heaps of suspense, action and adventure racing you to the ending. The characters are intriguing and unique and I love the twist in their relationship. While it's mostly contemporary romance/suspense it has a paranormal element with the bad guys ( and a few of the good). I'm not a huge reader of paranormal but this would be great for any fans of shows like Charmed, where normal life is all around but...

This is the second book of Carlisle’s that I have read, and it just reminded me that I really need to read more of her work. This was a great outing for her! It was a PNR read, but the “romance” part of the story was not the primary focus of the book.

The descriptiveness of the setting was great, and made it easy to visualize. The character...

This story has something for everyone.

When Darkness Whispers is listed as a paranormal romance; however, it also has action, adventure, science-fiction, and suspense. There’s something in this story for readers of all genres. The story is unique and the writing is perfect; I found When Darkness Whispers to have just the right amount of everything to keep readers on the edge. A definite page turner and hard to put down; but at 250 pages, I didn’t lose too much sleep to read to the end. When Darkness Whispers, by Lisa Carlisle is an...
