Moderate: Gun violence

Minor: Fatphobia

I've put fat phobia as there were a few sentences that described Neeve in the beginning that felt a bit off - 'plump but strangely elegant' and 'her oddly lovely hands. Chubby wrists....'

Incredible. There were so many twists and turns that I never once suspected. Found family, first love, curse, supernatural, ghost, class and privilege discussion, and many secrets.

I very much enjoyed this and am ready to dive into book 2. I’m a big fan of multi POV, so being able to see the big picture while watching the characters unravel what is happening was a lot of fun. There were a few times when I actually gasped - no spoilers - but I liked the resolution that came with Noah. I’m excited to see how the story progresses throughout the series!

I had a good time reading this book. While it did have a few YA tropes I hate in it, overall it was a fun creative story with some amazing characters. I adored the raven boys themselves, all 4 of them were amazing in their own ways and I can't wait to learn more about them. I personally wasn't a huge fan of Blue but I found her family to be really interesting! 

The book was a bit slow at times but I ended up falling in love with it and all the characters. I can't wait to continue the series and see where things go from here.
