Teaser and ARC review thread for Raven Cursed ***here there be some spoilers***

LOL I am so confused!

Have to say I can't wait to open my kindle in about a week and read this book!

"He wants to court you"

That line made me happy.

Your not the only one.

My nonspoilery review of Raven Cursed:
(Also posted on Goodreads. Note that since Goodreads allows me to hide spoilers, I've added a couple minor ones to the Goodreads review.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raven Cursed opens with Jane in charge of security for a parley between master vampires. Jane is confident and competent in her duties. But after a while the vampire politics takes a backseat to a mess involving witches, werewolves, and Jane's ex-boyfriend Rick, and even Jane's abilities are taxed.

Raven Cursed has Jane at her independent and slightly feral best, but with a guilt syndrome that seems out of place in such a competent woman. Beast is as fantastic as ever. I love great sidekicks or minor characters, and the reason I enjoy these books is Beast's down-to-business, literal, and outright horny inner voice. Jane continues to defy Beast and maintain emotional distance from others, which is a huge tease now that she has so many interested men in her life. I found myself cheering for Beast as she insists that these men are good, strong mates!

This book takes Jane away from New Orleans to Asheville North Carolina and the surrounding rural areas. Camping, rafting, hiking -- Jane's all over it. Because of the change in setting, Leo and his bloodservant Bruiser are mostly absent from this book. While I missed them, I did grow fond of the B-twins and became more intrigued with Gregoire.

The change in setting allows more focus on Molly and her witchy family, who live in the Asheville area. I wanted to slap Big Evan silly, squish Angie Baby and Little Evan into a tight hug, and sit down over a cup of tea with Molly and her sisters. Except Evil Evie. She's not invited to my make-believe tea party!

Faith Hunter deftly writes thorough and detailed mythology with interconnected plots. Now that the series is on it's 4th installment, the backstory (-ies) has gotten large. If it's been a while since you've read the previous books in the series, a reread of at least Mercy Blade may be in order before diving into Raven Cursed. I also recommend reading the shorts in Cat Tales, especially "Cat Tats" and "Blood, Fangs, and Going Furry".

I rate Raven Cursed 4.5 out of 5.0 stars.

Thanks to Penguin for providing an advanced copy!

Damn! The 3rd seems to far away..

Today's quote is brought to you by the letter W and the number 666.

"Licked away flavor of witch. Tasty."

Got my notice pre-order has been shipped. I can't get on kindle any of the Jane Yellowrock series but I can get it on audible? Go figure. So I will wait, not patiently I might add.

Good one Dopple!

not reading Dopples posts . Nope not gonna till I read the book.

BEAST

And for today's random out of context quote I give you...

"Between a witch and a bespelled Mithran? Do you have a death wish?"

Did Jane just say that?!

Note - Cat Tales is now avaialable in most English speaking/readign countries on Amazon e-book. Austraila and NZ coming noon.

So close Greencat!!!

Pre-ordered RC today!! Not to much longer.

Oh! My! Which, oh which! Which vampire is be spelled?

Because I love you guys I'll throw you a bone and give you some context with today's quote. Molly's sister is saying this to Jane about Molly.

"No. We have to stab her first."

OoKaay! Stabbing Molly. They must be trying to remove a spell. Either that or they are using her for vampire bait! Can't decide.

"Jane does not have monkey necklace."

I think somebody needs to send her one!

I loved that bit.

Oh hey, it rhymes!

Well, that takes some of the sexy out of it lol

I finally finished RC!!
Wow!!!!!
I give this bad boy 4.5

I have a ton of great quotes highlighted but when I go back and look at the ones the other mods listed, well they are pretty much the same ones too. Lol

Great Job Faith

Tomorrow

Just a few hours away! I can't wait for everyone else to read it, I've been dying to discuss it with y'all.
