What people say about City of Whispers:

City of Whispers is a fantastic, quick-paced, full-of-action fantasy about assassins and the manipulation of the politics surrounding them. Dhani is a protagonist I love to follow along with. She's strong, intelligent, and not afraid to let a few curse words display her emotional turmoil. Wonderful read and I'm excited for the story to continue. - Goodreads review.

I enjoyed this book. It is full of action and fantasy. This is the first book in this series and I can't wait to see what the next book brings. This is a well written story that has characters that not only bring the story to life but also took me on an adventure of redemption. The characters are relatable and kept me turning pages to see what they would do next. This is a story of a race against time to save thousands of people and a conspiracy that is broken wide open. What happens next I highly recommend reading to find out. This truly is a great story that took me on a nonstop adventure. - Goodreads review.

A colourful tale of ancient cities, spice-filled souks and foul-smelling back streets, where you're never quite sure what's around the next corner, or lurking in the gloom of a side alley. Katt Powers sets an intoxicating scene, weaving together a rich tapestry of characters, landscapes and intrigue that will keep you turning pages late into the night. In a city where everyone has a secret, an attitude and a price, Dhani's just treading water to prove her loyalty, so she can return to her role as a high-ranking elite assassin in the Ta'Hafiq, and identify the traitor responsible for the death of the man she loved, and her exile. - Goodreads review
