Suddenly, our protagonist finds herself suspected of murder, despite evidence showing that no human could have committed the crime. When the human authorities arrive, however, they only bring more trouble and worries. But then one day, Aggie finds a dead body on the property, so naturally, Vicki calls the police. Her first tenant is even one of the Others, a shifter named Aggie Crowe. Territory controlled by the Others are often governed by strict rules, but as long you are willing to abide by them, most of the terra indigene are content to live in peace with the humans living on their land.įor Vicki, the Jumble has become her pride and joy, after all the time and effort she has put into upgrading the place. There’s a catch though the land it is built on actually belongs to the Others, also known as the terra indigene-powerful, paranormal creatures that have called Earth home long before humans came into the picture. Our protagonist Vicki DeVine is the proprietor, having turned it into a cozy resort after receiving it in a divorce settlement. This novel opens on the small village of Sproing (is that not just the cutest name ever?) where a rustic little property called the Jumble sits beside the calm shores of Lake Silence.

While the story takes place in a different town following a group of new people, it still shares many traits with the original series such as Bishop’s incredible world-building as well as her flair for creating compelling and dynamic character relationships. Lake Silence is the first book of a new spin-off series set in world of The Others by Anne Bishop, therefore making a great place to jump on board if you’ve ever played with the idea of checking these novels out. This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher. ***The giveaway is now over, thanks to everyone who entered!*** Book Review: Lake Silence by Anne Bishop + Giveaway!
