For three teenage girls, moving to a new school can be drama enough. But AJ, Krysta and Sophie have to contend with issues most sophomores don’t – namely their developing magical powers.
After a terrifying accident, AJ discovers how her family history of witchcraft shapes her powerful abilities. She and Krysta are sent to live with an eccentric aunt in Salem to learn the ways of their own magic. But even there, AJ’s visions become ever stronger, and her dreams are haunted by cryptic messages from a witch who was murdered centuries before.
Separated from her friends, Sophie withdraws into herself and begins to use her powers in dangerous ways. While AJ and Krysta struggle to unravel the mystery behind AJ’s dreams, Sophie must learn how to control her anger before her power consumes her. With the help of three adorable kittens, a few new friends, and two really cute guys, all three girls must learn to find strength within themselves before they can master their magic.

Needless to say, she doesn’t have time for much else.
But someone is bound to come along and screw up her little slice of happiness.
That someone is her very first boyfriend, Frankie Salas.
Welcome to Sophie’s world: two crushes, one heartache, and a whole lot of drama.

If Sophie Sinora survives tonight, she’s sure to be grounded for life. But that’s the least of her problems. She’s thousands of miles from home, people are not who they seem, and she doesn’t know friend from foe. She needs to keep her hot witch boyfriend, with an even hotter temper, from losing his cool before the incubus finds them and steals their souls. And she thought she was having a bad week when she sprouted that ginormous pimple on her nose. If only her life was that simple.

I love the Whispers series. I was browsing iBooks searching free books to read and came across Sophie’s Secret. After that book I had to read the all of them, and purchased the remainder of the series. I can’t wait for more books in the series to come out!

Hello. I’ve read Whispers Book 1 (Sophie’s Secret) and the first four chapters of the other four books. I’m hoping you’re giving free copies via internet? I’m a Filipino and I’m not even a teenager yet and I have no money to buy the books. Sorry if you think I’m unreasonable. But I’d really love to read all the books.
With much respect. xx

Yeah, I go to Somerset Middle School in Somerset, WI. We use a program called Accelerated Reader, for each book you read there’s a short 10 question quiz, and as a result of answering the question right you can earn points. The Whispers books are about 15 points each, and at the end of the year I earned about 305 points!
June 23, 2013 at 4:46 pm
OMG, wow! Thanks for telling me!
June 23, 2013 at 4:49 pm
And also, CONGRATS on earning so many points. That’s amazing!

Hi, i have a blind friend who i read to when i can, i stumbled upon Sophie’s Secrete as a free book on ibooks so i downloaded it as our other friend is called Sophie. We really enjoyed the book but we found a really strange thing. Your book seems to be exactly like us (except for the powers) the most perfect fit is Freya, we thought the only thing that you were missing about her was that she was blind but then we found that AJ actually has problems with her retainers which is freya’s problem. so in the end we worked out AJ is Freya, Sophie is like, well Sophie and i am like Krysta. It is really strange the only thing is that is REALLY different is were the characters in the book are extreme personalities (Jock, Princess and whatever Sophie is) we are a lot more mild versions. We just wanted to mention how similar your book is to us, we haven’t read the other books yet as i can only read it to Freya on an evening but we are planing on getting your other books. Hope this is as interesting to you as it is to us. 🙂
December 31, 2014 at 10:21 pm
Haha! That’s great. They were actually based on me and my two best friends growing up. Also, this website has moved to http://www.tara@tarawest.com 🙂
