Product Description

Product Description

I'm told the dead are all around us. I wouldn't know about that, I see only the violently slain. They can be victims of hit-and-run, innocents caught in a cross-fire, the murdered. They whisper to me and they never, ever, forget the face of their killer. I've learned to live with my uncanny ability, in fact I've made a career out of it.

The departed aren't the only supernaturals I see. No, they're not vampires or werewolves or fae - those things don't exist. We live side by side with what some call the Otherworldy. That's too much of a mouthful for me, I call them demons. If you saw them as I do, you'd know why.

Right now I'm trying to track down a missing six year-old boy whose mother was murdered. Or maybe she wasn't. To further complicate the case, Clarion PD gave me a partner I'd rather shoot than work with.

I can't tell them he's a demon.

They'd think I'm crazy.

I'm Tiff Banks. Welcome to my world.

WHISPERINGS. Paranormal mystery with a splash of humor and dash of romance.

Also by Linda Welch: Femme Fatales, dark urban fantasy short story collection.

I literally had to fight with myself to put the book down at night! I'll definitely be reading the follow up book and would recommend this book to anyone who loves Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance. ~ HP Mallory, best-selling author of the Dulcie O'Neil and Jolie Wilkins series'.

A kick butt heroine, dead people and demons. This will have you racing the pages by and wanting to dig into the next in the series.~ Free Book Reviews

Excellent, well written, smoothly styled, and without a disappointing moment through the whole novel.~ The Monthly Aspectarian

I love the voice of Tiff Banks (our heroine). I love her no nonsense approach and dry humor. Linda Welch's descriptive writing makes me feel like I am in the story.~ Love Romance Passion

Linda Welch has created an interesting world where "demons" walk among humans . . . a great detective, who-dunnit-type story that kept me interested.~ A Simple Love of Reading

Linda Welch pens a engaging tale, full of action and adventure. A definite page turner full of twists to keep you guessing until the end.~ LL Book Review

I've been amazed to discover the number of ways authors have to give a novel a paranormal twist. Along Came a Demon is among my favorites. I was happy discovering they aren't all glittery vampires.~BigAl's Books and Pals

About the Author

Linda Welch was born in Hampshire, England. After moving to the USA, she lived in Idaho, California and New Mexico before settling in Utah. She now lives in a mountain valley, more or less halfway up the mountainside, with her husband and Scottish terrier. Unlike Tiff Banks, the heroine of Linda's Whispering series of paranormal mysteries, she is not tall and white-haired, does not see demons and hasn't seen a dead person for a while. What she does see are moose, deer, raccoon, skunk, wild turkey, a huge bird population and a ridiculous amount of snow. When not working at her other job, and depending on the season, she is usually tending to her Scottie, filling the bird feeders, futilely attacking the weeds in her garden or shoveling out after a snowstorm. Look for the sequel to Along Came a Demon:The Demon Hunters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paranormal romance with great characters 12 Dec 2010
By annette
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you like paranormal romance, a mystery, a strong heroine, a yummy mysterious man, witty comments and a story with a good plot, then definitely get this book.

The author, Linda D. Welch, has a real talent for creating 3D characters who instantly pull you in. The heroine is funny, strong, quite loveable and very independent, her house mates are the family she never had, and like family she reluctantly puts up with them. The other characters in the book are all very well thought through, even those with only a few paragraphs feel real and essential. The romance is subtle, but oh so yummy (certainly had my toes tingling). The story was brilliantly crafted and I loved her take on ghosts and demons plus the whole urban fantasy feel was well thought through. There were also surprises in the book that were unexpected and that greatly increased my enjoyment.

I'm not sure if this is her first book. There were a couple of lines that felt stiff or repetitious which made me think she's fairly new to the industry, but they didn't interfere with my enjoyment of the book. I think this author has a lot of talent and I look forward to reading more of her work. I'm about to go get the next book in the series - The Demon Whisperers - and I'm hoping there will be more books to come soon.

This was a very well written novel, surprisingly good. Good character arch, good plot, believable protagonists, it was quite fresh and different to the usual paranormal romance suspense stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Promising new series 13 Feb 2011
By daisyduck1976 TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I downloaded this after recommendations from other Kindle readers and I wasn't disappointed. This is the first in the "Whisperings" series and it's rather hard to slide it neatly into one genre. My best attempt is that it's a paranormal detective series with just a touch of romance on the side.

The story gets its hooks into you from the first few pages and the pace holds up right until the end. I was interested in what was going on and keen to know how it would be resolved. There was just the right amount of sexual tension between the two main characters and the author doesn't let the romantic angle interfere with the mystery/detective plot at all, cleverly dealing with most of that angle once the mystery has been resolved. The characters are well-written. Tiff is independent, feisty and brave. She handles her unusual paranormal ability with grace and has an interesting history that we might only just be beginning to understand. Royal is pretty engaging as a character too. He has a foot in both worlds and is charming without being a cheesy hero. I liked him a LOT!

I would really recommend that you give this series a try if you like detective stories or paranormal novels. Don't be put off by the romance aspects because they don't feature heavily and are more of a minor sub-plot. I have rarely given a first book in a series more than 3 stars because they usually have such an introductory feel, even when they are the beginning of a really fantastic series. However, this could stand-alone as an interesting novel if necessary, so it gets 4 stars from me!
