HE'D LANDED IN A TOWN STEEPED IN CURSES AND LEGENDS  Ethan McVey was in Raven's Hollow to fill in for the police chief, not get entangled in a decades-old legend.

In Ryan’s romantic suspense novel, Ethan McVey was temporarily covering for the just married police chief of Raven’s Hollow when he runs head first into a decades-old legend and a beautiful woman in hiding. Amara Bellam’s gray eyes have haunted him for years in his dreams and he finds himself unable to turn his back on her now when she needs someone in her corner.

Amara wasn’t blind to the similarities between recent murders and the family local lore any more than she could deny her attraction to McVey. As a killer moves closer, Amara isn’t sure if it has something to do with her past or is just determined to destroy her future. Regardless, McVey vows to keep her safe from the killer targeting her.

A haunting story of two people meant to find each other. ( )

Good book, and at times really creepy. Amara is a doctor who witnessed a murder in New Orleans, and now finds herself a target for revenge. When two other witnesses end up dead, Amara is encouraged to find somewhere to hide out for awhile. She goes home to Raven's Hollow, Maine, just in time for the local raven festival. When she lets herself into her grandmother's house, she's forcibly introduced to Ethan, the police chief who is renting the place.

Ethan is filling in as police chief for the Hollow, while the man is on his honeymoon, at the same time he's doing his own job as police chief for Raven's Cove. Life is interesting as he tries to keep the peace between the Bellams and the Blumes. Having a beautiful woman break into his house just seems par for the course, until he gets a good look at the eyes that have been in his dreams for years. Learning why she's there just boosts his protective instincts.

The sparks between Amara and Ethan are hot from the beginning. There's an attraction between them that they can't and don't deny. But their main focus has to be on staying alive and catching the killer who is after her. The action in this book is almost non-stop with plenty of twists and turns that kept me guessing. There are bodies piling up whose deaths don't match the MO of the hitman who is after Amara, leading them to think that there may be two killers after Amara. The question is who and why? The identity of the hitman had a most interesting twist to it, but made a lot of sense once it was revealed. I didn't figure out the second one until right before it was revealed, as there were a couple possibilities that kept me flipping back and forth.

I liked the heat between Amara and Ethan, but also that there was more to the relationship. Ethan has the whole protective thing going on, but he also respects Amara's strength and intelligence. Amara gets frustrated by that protectiveness at times, but she knows that he's good at what he does. They have great conversations, not just about their own pasts, but also about the towns and the legends that go along with them. The dreams that Ethan has are really spooky, and it's interesting to see how they match up with the history of the area. I loved the wrap up of the last chapter.

Once again there are some wonderfully quirky characters in the book. I think my favorites were Brigham and the other raven tamers. They have their own way of doing things, but are there for Ethan and Amara when they need help. Loved the part the ravens played in the scene at the bridge. ( )

The scene felt so real, McVey figured this time it might not be unfolding in his head.
