The Whispering Night is everything you could want from the finale of a trilogy and more! My heart rate litterally sped up at the intensity of this fast-paced, action packed, return the Hemlock Falls that was immensely satisfying!

I am so sad this trilogy has ended! I loved being in Hemlock Falls with Winne and co.
I think this was a perfect ending, we got answers from questions raised in books 1 & 2 and everything tied up nicely. Winne remained true to character and was a loyal Wednesday Bear through and through.
I do think there were a couple of later chapters that ended 'better' than the actual ending final chapter and at times I think things could of been cut down but it didn't impact my reading experience too much.
I would definitely recommend this series, I am so knowledgeable about the Nightmares now, thanks Winnie!
The little bits at the very end were nice to read too.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital ARC!

The Whispering Night is the finale of the Luminaries trilogy, and I have to applaud Susan Dennard. I didn't enjoy the first book—I've said that before, and I stand by it—I found it boring and lacklustre. The second book surprised me with how much I actually enjoyed it, and the third capitalised on that and stuck the landing.

I didn't finish this trilogy wishing for something more but was instead satisfied with everything that happened. Winnie grew as a person, which is exactly what I wanted, and the side characters were given plenty of time to grow and have their own stories told as well. Winnie and Jay are adorable together, and I do wish we'd seen more of them. Instead, we spend a lot more time with Erica - a character we've interacted with only slightly in previous books. This also means that it comes at the expense of Bretta, Emma and Fatima, as we don't get to see them nearly as much.

Winnie knows what she's battling now; she knows who her enemies are and what the Whisperer is. Knowledge is power, and it really showcases itself in the Luminaries trilogy. Winnie's a hunter, sure, but she's not the best hunter. What she is is knowledgeable. She puts things together quickly and comes to conclusions that others don't. I loved Winnie's mind and how smart she could be, even when she missed things at first. She eventually puts it together.

There are plenty of surprises in this book, and I found myself thoroughly enjoying it all. I'd actually love to see another book in the series set in the future, and I'd be pretty happy to have it focused on Winnie and Jay again. The world needs to be fleshed out more, as there are plenty of tantalising details that I'd love to see explored!

I’ve been so anticipating this finale for ages now, and it really didn’t disappoint.

Talking about waiting to the end to pack all that tension in and then let it all out in one big explosive huff! I raced through this book always on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what was coming next.

Again we follow Winnie in her search for her dad and the source of the Whisperer, but Jay and Erica’s reveals at the end of book two add so many complications to the simple equation of Winnie and her quest to return to the Luminaries.

Expect a couple of massive reveals, and a couple that were sort of sitting there in the background but were satisfying all the same.

As Winnie pushes on through the Nightmare Masquerade she peels back more and more secrets that she can’t reveal to anyone, her father’s machinations and planning are all around her, she discovers some truths all the while being manipulated by Dianas and hunted by the Tuesdays (again).

I really didn’t want this to end but was so desperate to find out how it ended, such an exciting read and a world that is ripe to revisit, as Hemlock Falls is not the only site of a sleeping spirit.

I received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really loved this book. The Whispering Night by Susan Dennard is the type of book you don't want to put down for a bit. I recommend everyone to read this book.
