Query: Was This a Romance Novel?

This book lacked the intensity and pizzazz that we saw in former novels by Ms. McNaught. The overall storyline was good, the main character Sloan was developed very well. However, I did not feel the love interest of Sloan, Noah was developed as well. The reader did not have an opportunity to really bond with Noah. Therefore, the romance in the novel simply wasn't as strong as in other novels. The book spent more time on the subplots of the story than it did on the actual romance element between Noah and Sloan. I found myself wondering if I was reading a true romance novel or a suspense thriller with a little romance thrown in to spice things up. To make matters worse the story ends in a rushed manner that leaves the reader frustrated and dissatisfied. This novel does not deserve to be compared to former novels written by the same author such as Paradise and Perfect. The development of these two stories were far superior to Night Whispers.
