The book earned praise from reviewers and readers alike, describing it as, "…is like peeking in the window of your neighbor's house ... you just can't turn your eyes away.” Her second psychological thriller, As Sick as Our Secrets, is about family secrets, a hidden journal, a girl gone missing, and an unorthodox serial killer. It’s been reviewed as, “a fast-paced tale that delves into a dark subject matter that should not be read by the faint-hearted.” |

"As Sick as Our Secrets is an enticing, thrilling mystery with fantastic heroines." – Kate, CreateSpace
"Whelan delivered a sexy mind-trip that had me both dazed and dazzled. There's a dangerous feel throughout this book, but it's one that creeps up on you slowly, much like the frog in a pot of boiling water. If you're wondering if the story inside is just as captivating as the gorgeous cover- it is!" —Suspense is Thrilling Me

To what extent would you go to avenge your husband's infidelity?
Stay-at-home mom Sarah Johnson has the perfect family—a handsome, hardworking husband and two healthy and beautiful children. At least, that’s what she’s been telling herself for years. After the tragedies in her youth, Sarah deemed living a lie easier than dwelling on the past and facing her everyday failures. To avoid any kind of confrontation at home she doesn’t read her husband’s emails or spy on him like most jealous wives do. She wouldn’t jeopardize her comfortable but dull life for anything. But Sarah’s world is about to crumble around her when she receives a phone call from a man with a heavy foreign accent telling her that her perfect husband has put a price on her head. She is offered two weeks to come up with a counteroffer or die. Why would her model husband Mike want her dead? Hasn’t she been the perfect wife? Or has her karma finally caught up with her—making her pay for her former transgressions? The final countdown begins and now Sarah has to race against time to find out what went wrong in her marriage and find a way out of this nightmare. So the game of life or death begins. Secrets are unveiled. Emotions are unleashed. Actions are taken. Will there be a winner in this dangerous game when no one can escape the twist of fate? "This may be called 14 DAYS TO DIE but it only took me one and a half days to read it. I was hooked from beginning to end."
