Raven Pride lost her father at an early age and we sent to live with her Grandmother. But when she starts seeing things, her Grandmother forbids her to leave the house trying to protect the girl. But what teen would just sit around the house? She does get out every once in a while and meets a young girl that was murdered. Raven starts looking into this and learns that there have been several deaths.

Raven meets two guys, one living and the other dead, that help her investigation and maybe stir her heart at the same time. But things get very complicated when Raven’s cruel uncle takes over running the house.

This is a great story that took me back to the Victorian era with a great paranormal, ghostly twist. I felt for Raven and really wanted the best for her, I mean how hard would it be to have the ability to see the dead especially during that time. I loved the mystery of who was killing the kids. I had some ideas but was always wrong. And her uncle, talk about pure evil!!

I loved this story. Its wells written, drew me in quickly, and left me breathlessly turning the last page. I love how there is a touch of romance but it’s not over done like so many books. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of Raven’s Ghost and see what happens to Raven next.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.

Raven looks out over the small, industrial town of Cogsworth and imagines a
life beyond the confines of her Grandmother’s mansion.

However, Raven holds a dark secret that prevents her from leaving. One which
comes to light after her father’s untimely death. Now an orphan,
Raven must do her best to hide her gifts of sight if she’s to survive
the cruel Victorian society she lives in.

However, when a ghost of a child comes to her for help, Raven finds herself in
the gas lit streets of London, on the trail of a female serial
killer. As she tries to solve the string of murders, she realizes
that the murders are almost identical to those from a case left
unsolved years before she was born.

In a race against time, Raven is thrown into a world she doesn’t know.
With her crush, Tom, now a ghost, her friend, Emmett, now a suspect,
and an uncle who runs illicit groups and hates women, Raven will have

to unravel the mysteries quickly before she becomes their next victim.

When she’s not writing, she’s traveling, reading (paranormal, fantasy and
horror being her go to genres) and designing covers for Dark Wish Designs.

I would like to thank Silver Dagger Book Tours for the opportunity to read and share this book.
