Why read it?

2 authors picked The Night Raven as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I found myself completely absorbed in the story from the beginning. It was incredibly difficult to put down. Suffice it to say that there were a few overcooked dinners for a few days!

I loved how the author combined elements of the story, supernatural/gangster, and the location, which took me back to my childhood days in London.

I had moments of breath holding anticipation, along with tears of sadness and joy, I found it to be a totally delectable read.

The most exciting part of The NIght Raven is the revelation of London's magic-practicing criminal families, their rivalries, and Lydia Crow's struggle to stay out of the darker activities of her family. When her powers grows, so does the struggle, leading to some interesting character development and tremendous drama.

From Charlaine's list on fantasy worlds I might survive.
