4 1/2 Moons!

WHISPERED PROMISES continues Ms. Surbeck’s Yadderwal series and lives up to the promise of the first book. This action-packed fantasy romance has a great hero and a strong heroine, and I felt myself feeling a little sorry for the villain. The villain was not totally evil, but compelled to evil against his better urges. Ms. Surbeck has created a great series, which I highly recommend.

Recommended Read!

Whispered Promise: Book II Yadderwal Balance is an exceptional continuation to the world readers first visited in Sudden Fall. The strength of this story enables it to be read as a single work, yet once readers experience this fantasy realm, they will be hard pressed to resist any book in this series. Kally Jo Surbeck melds the existent realities of the Dream World, Yadderwal, and the Ether World into a creation that flows with imagery and feeling. As Fionn sets off to save Tannah, the author treats readers to elegant prose and beautiful imagery. If it is possible to make characters live through words, Kally has done so. The words seem to flow not as written text for the reader, but as a recounting of another place and time as seen and felt by the main characters. So easily does she draw you into the world she has created that this reader lost all track of time. This is a poignant, romantic tale, that sees Fionn and Tannah overcoming much in their quest to not only survive but to thrive and thwart those that would destroy the purest part of us all. Ms. Surbeck does well in balancing the darker facets of the plot with lighter moments and sparks of romantic hope that blends to offer readers a work that is definitely a recommended read. Hopefully we will be seeing more from this series.

Whispered Promise is the second book in the Yadderwal Balance Series. It is a sweet love story of two soulmates uniting for the first time outside the realm of reality. The obstacles they have to endure make their union real. Ms. Surbeck creates a fantastic world complete with royals, peasants, thieves and fairies. She takes you on an adventure-filled journey that you never want to end.

5 Stars!

Ms. Surbeck takes the reader on another delightful journey of love in her fabulous Yadderwal. Whispered Promise introduces one to new characters as marvelously fascinating as those from Sudden Fall who are revisited. She expands the worlds of Yadderwal to include a third and maintains the feeling of a complete whole as this new facet is introduced and explored.

Prepare yourself to laugh and cry as your run the gamut of emotions from despair to utter joy. With this offering, Ms. Surbeck has solidified her position as a true talent in the romantic fantasy genre. Congratulations on creating a sequel worthy of being hidden in my secret stash of “written addictions” along with its predecessor.
