Spirit Released (Whisper Cove)

Spirit Released is a perfect continuation of Spirit Awakened by Cyndi Faria. The author came up with a captivating yet imaginative plot that takes you on a mystery ride on the "whose done it" in the paranormal world. There are some well developed twists hidden within that the author expertly unravels in time. And just when you think you are home free, she comes up with yet another surprise. Faith is an adorable character who does a lot of growing especially n this book, but in my eyes, the true hero is Jake. The never wavering, unconditional loving and fully supporting no matter what Jake. This is what the man of a woman's dream is made of and what a "real man" should be like! I really enjoyed this book. It had a well developed mystery and really likable characters. The writing style was pleasant so this book is definitely worth picking up!

Spirit Released was not your normal run of the mill Paranormal Romance. I will admit I had a little trouble with the first chapter. I felt confused, as if I had been thrown into the middle of a story and had no idea why the things that were happening, were happening. I do give credit that all of my questions were answered throughout the book, but I can see how this might make a lot of people put it down, without giving it the chance it deserves. The story is of Jake and Faith. Faith (which I found to be a very appropriate name for the story) has a 200 year old curse on her. A terrible accident happens in the beginning while she is trying to save Jake's (her Fiance) life. Faith is in a coma throughout most of the book, but her spirit is there. The one odd thing I found about her spirit is not just that it could touch/move things, because many spirits can, but the spirt of Faith could have sex. I enjoyed the scene as it showed the love and commitment of the 2 characters. It brought them closer together and I think it gave them more courage to try to find out just what was going on and why Faith could not come out of her Coma. Jake is a Dr at the hospital Faith is at receiving grant money from a corp. to help try experimental things and drugs to wake Faith up. The corp is 100% behind Jake as he has done such a wonderful job and created what some would call medical miracles. The kind that go into science journals. However, something starts holding his progress back and there are many people that the blame is pointed at. I felt this had a good mystery to it as well as a beautiful love story. It makes you think that if you just believe that all things can be possible.True love is a powerful thing that sometimes not even the universe or a curse can come between. I think the characters of Jake and Faith are well developed as the story continues, and I felt that Cyndi developed enough of the sub characters to carry a series forward with other people's stories. All in all I gave this book 4 fairies because of the confusion at the beginning and the feeling that it 'could' keep new fans from continuing. In the end this would be a sad decision because the book was really good after that, and people would really be missing out on a great new author to add to their TBR list. If you pick this book up and feel that way, please press on and give it a chance, as after that small bit, it is a beautiful story, with nicely developed characters and of course the happy ending we all dream of. (not to mention, Jake seems pretty hot :-))

I have owned this series for quite a while and recently found while I was reorganizing my kindle! I’m SO glad that I did! I really enjoyed reading about Jake and Faith and the trials that they went through to be together and can’t wait to dive into the next books in this series! Definitely recommend!

This book is good. It takes a couple hours to read and has a decent plot line. Faith and Mitchell have to overcome a curse. In order to do that they have to save each other and them selves. The first chapter is slow and takes a minute to get through. It starts on their wedding day. Faith has lived with the curse all her life while Mitchell doesn't believe in it and stays firmly based in science. I felt their should have been a little more history of the couple and the curse its self. There are a couple of unexpected plot twists. The author keeps you engaged but it isn't one of the ones that I couldn't put down. There were some points where she referenced something that had happened in the past and I wished she would have gone a little bit more into it. The curse is mentioned a lot but I wished there was more detail on it rather that a paragraph that explains how it came to be. Overall, I would read this author again but she won't be on my wait for the new release list and have to read right away. She keeps you engaged and the writing is good and I would recommend it to a friend who I know enjoys this kind of story.

Cyndi Faria has a way of grabbing ahold of a reader's heart and not letting go. When Faith falls into a comatose state, her fiance Jake searches for a way to keep her alive...never expecting to see her spirit--and to believe what he sees, hears, and feels is real. Love the concept of this story, and can't wait for more of the Whisper Cove series to come out!

This book is a mix of romance, paranormal, and mystery. Without revealing too much of the story, because it's a must read, Cyndi gives use a new concept (or fresh perspective) involving love, spirits, their interaction with us (the living), local folklore, and mystery. I loved how the story sped forward gathering speed, twisted, and turned. I reluctantly had to "put the book down" (exit out of my Kindle App) to go to bed or work.

This is a good addition to the Whisper Cove series and wraps up the story line of Jake and Faith nicely. We finally end up with their HEA but let me tell you, the road was full of pitfalls, heartaches, suspense, and some trials and tribulations. It was a long road but they finally got there. This is book 2 of the Whisper Cove Series and can not be read as a stand alone. This story begins where book 1 left off. There were a few bits to me that seemed to drag but all in all this was a good read. Written as a multi pov. Since this does end in an HEA for Jake and Faith, if you wanted to stop after this book you could and you would feel as if you had a complete story. The next story in the series is about Thomas that played a major role in this book. I assume we will get to see more of Jake and Faith in the next book since this takes place in Whisper Cove as well. Good story line, nice descriptions to details most of the time, a little wordy at times, nice dialogue between characters. Did I fall in love with these characters? No, but I did fall into like with them. I enjoyed them as characters. No heart twinge or teary eyed moments but that is okay. I still really enjoyed this book. So.... Would I recommend this book? Yes, but you must read book 1 first. Would I read more from this author? Yes, I want to see what happens with Thomas next. Sassy Beta Reading & Review
