I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Winnie Wednesday’s future is looking bright. Hemlock Falls is no longer hunting the werewolf, she and Erica Thursday are tentative friends, and Winnie finally knows exactly where she stands with Jay Friday.

With everything finally on track, Winnie is looking forward to the Nightmare Masquerade, a week-long celebration of all things Luminary. But as Luminaries from across the world flock to the small town, uninvited guests also arrive. Winnie is confronted by a masked Diana and charged with an impossible task—one that threatens everything and everyone Winnie loves.

As Winnie fights to stop new enemies before time runs out, old mysteries won't stop intruding. Her missing father is somehow entangled with her search for hidden witches, and as Winnie digs deeper into the long-standing war between the Luminaries and the Dianas, she discovers rifts within her own family she never could have imagined.

What does loyalty mean when family and enemies look the same?

Short and Sweet Review

Things are looking up for Winnie Wednesday, Erica Thursday is her friend again, and the werewolf is no longer being hunted so Jay is safe. Because everything is going so well Winnie is looking forward to the Nightmare Masquerade, which celebrates all things Luminaries and has Luminaries from all over the world come to Hemlock falls. When Winnie is confronted by a Diana and given a task that seems impossible and will threaten her family and friends, Winnie has no choice but to stop new enemies before time runs out.

The Whispering Night is the final book in The Luminaries trilogy. I thought this book was a great conclusion to the series as a lot of things were answered and over the course of three books we see character growth from Winnie. The Nightmare Masquerade is happening and during this event Winnie encounters a Diana who wants Winnie to complete a task and the only way Winnie is going to be successful is if she goes through all of the clues her father left her. Winnie is helped by Jay and Erica but sometimes it’s hard to know who she can actually trust. I don’t want to include any spoilers but I did love how everything was wrapped up so nicely and how all the questions readers might have had from the first two books were answered. It was also interesting to see how many Dianas have actually been around Winnie her whole life. I love the setting of Hemlock Falls, a small town with some paranormal activity.

Overall, I loved this series! We have a main character who showed her strength and becoming a town legend after her family was ostracized and she really climbed her way back to the top. My favorite thing about this series is how the mystery spans over three books but we always got a little closer to solving it. The ending was great and it will leave readers satisfied.
