Raven Series: The Complete Collection by J.L. Weil

5.0

I decided to review these as a series as that is how I read them.
This is not your Normal paranormal book. I was pretty surprised by the supernatural themes in this story. This story starts out so normal and human. I really wasn't sure where it was gonna go. As the plot begins to evolve, I love how the author wove the drama into the characters' days and events. Most definitely a different read for me, but so far, I am enjoying it. This book so didn't go as I expected. One truth bomb after another to lead the reader down an unexpected path. I won't give any sneak peeks or spoilers as this one you just have to read for yourself. The love, desire, and heartbreak are so well written to get the reader connected to the story. After I got over the new paranormal in it, the romance story with the twists really came to life. I caught myself gasping, shocked, crying, and wanting more.
Wow!! This second of the book is captivating. The characters' struggle, decision, and growth are all well covered. I really enjoyed how the author mainly focused on Piper's point of view. Her conflict and emotions are apparent to the reader. One minute you are swooning the next, you are crying. This female character really strengthens in this book. I love how she became her own person, different yet strong. The people in her life still played a part in the story and still assured her and her scattered thoughts. The love story between Piper and Zane is tragic but oh so enthralling. I'm so excited to see what happens next with the characters, the decision, and the conflict.
The third book is surprising! This book is interesting as the veil between humans and the paranormal is exposed. Can she save the world? The war and evil in this book are fascinating. I love that our heroine Piper is stronger than previous books but still unsure of herself. The author did a great job of building the character and adding to her paranormal powers. I really loved how much I don't know even in the last book in this series. This book wrapped up perfectly no cliffhangers, minus the blood, gore, and tons of paranormal talents. It was a great romance with lots of action and adventure.
I would say this is definitely for a mature audience due to the nature of the series.
