I am no longer among the living. At least, I don’t think I am. I don’t remember my name, my age, or even my sex. I don’t feel. I can’t smell. I hear, but sounds don’t register emotional responses anymore. I see, but it’s all in muted gray. No vibrant colors.
No sense of time, space, awareness. I just…float. Like a weightless cloud drifting through the limitless universe. I don’t know where I am … where I am or how I arrived at this point. Ebony nothingness has swallowed me whole.
Can you help me? Will you help me? I need to know. Want to know. Have to know.
Who am I?
Where am I?
How do I escape this black void?
Help.
Please, help me.

Ashley Fontainne is an award winning author and I have read a lot of her books. I won this back in 2015 and shame on me for waiting so long to share such a fabulous story.
A snow storm…don’t ya just love a story that starts out like that. Bad things happen during storms in novels. LOL Ya know, like when the town rolls up the sidewalks like it’s the end of the world, telling all to go home and stay there. Ashley Fontainne has a way with words and her writing brings the scenes to life in vivid detail, making me feel as if I am there.
She adds the details to her characters personalities that bring them to life, adding those bits and pieces that make you feel empathy, fear, and the need to save them. I feel like I walk in their world, wearing their shoes.
The devastation caused by the death of Angie’s sister ruined her family, created a distance from everyone. Death, a loss so deep they can’t recover.
I knew from the first sentence that Whispered Pain would be another awesome read. I had a feeling I knew what was coming and as the horror comes full on to Angie, my suspicions are confirmed. I can’t help but smile with wicked glee in anticipation. Ashley Fontainne can take me to the lowest low, a despair so deep I don’t have the strength to fight it…Until…a spark ignites, a fire of determination, a rage that comes to life, as if it is a physical thing. I raged with her.
WTF Who died and made these men God?
The plot is filled with twists and turns that kept a smile on my face as if it was a present to open through Ashley Fontainne’s words. I love that she brought the story full circle.

This is only a short story but it definitely packs a punch! So much happens in such a short space of time!!
Initially, I wasn’t sure what was happening at the start but the author weaved a thrilling tale of betrayal and murder that comes together at the end. It starts with a patient in a coma and she hears and feels everything happening around her. She tells her story of how she came to be there and in it we see a tale of deception, murder, betrayal and love. It’s a chilling tale but oh so gripping!!!
Ashley Fontainne, has once again has cast her magic on me. This book just goes to show what a strong writer she is. It may only be over 3 hrs long but it feels like a full book. I was absolutely hooked the whole way through and didn’t see the big reveal coming!!
I don’t think I can say anything else about Andrea Emmes that I haven’t said in previous books narrated by her. She rocks as a narrator and is one of a few who I’ll buy any book read by her!!
Ashley Fontainne is a prolific writer. Her creativity of telling this story is fantastic! In this story, she had me questioning myself over and over if what I was thinking was the truth or was there a different twist…and…yep…there it was…again and again!
This was a first listen for me for Andrea Emmes’ narration. She did a fantastic job. I didn’t get ‘bored’ with her narration and she did a fantastic job of keeping the characters recognizable and interesting. I’ll be looking for more from her!
