The Raven by Jonathan Janz

dark tense fast-paced

4.5

While this isn’t my absolute favourite Janz book, it still remains a phenomenal story. It’s got just about everything you could possibly want from a horror story and more! I mean, witches and vampires and werewolves AND more fantastical creatures all in one great story? This is the very fabric that a horror fan’s dreams are made of. My only minor complaint and what stopped it from being a full five star blowout is that I just didn’t connect with the main character, Dez. Something about him just didn’t strike any chords for me and I’m a very character driven reader. I’m not left feeling disappointed though, I thoroughly enjoyed it anyways! And it was quite different than anything I’ve read by Janz before so definite bonus points for that, he has an awesome range in his writing that I really appreciate.
