Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Creepy Hollow (Story)
The glittering magic of high society faerie life, with a hint of forbidden romance ... When design student Raven Rosewood, daughter of high society fae, is almost killed in an explosion, her parents insist on assigning a bodyguard to protect her at all times. Raven agrees, but only if she can choose the guard. Flint's life couldn't be more different from that of his employers. He doesn't agree with their extravagant ways, but he's admired their daughter Raven since he first met her. When asked to guard her more closely after her life is threatened, Flint is happy to take on the assignment. Despite the gulf between their stations in life, Raven and Flint can't help growing close to one another. As the pressure of Raven's final fashion show builds, along with the threat of her parents discovering her relationship with a guard, Raven and Flint must decide whether their differences will push them apart or bring them closer together. Raven is a companion story to the bestselling YA fantasy Creepy Hollow series. While it is best enjoyed in conjunction with the rest of the series, it is a standalone story that can be read on its own. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Raven follows titular character Raven Rosewood, the only daughter of an elite Fae family, as she is approaches graduation from Fashion and Design school. We see Raven as she seeks to do her best in her chosen field, as she’s threatened by an unknown source, and as she grows closer to Flint; the guard assigned to protect her.
To prepare for this story I did go back to The Faerie Guardian (book 1 in the Creepy Hollow series) to get a feel for Raven and Flint. In the Faerie Guardian, we see Raven as a romantic with a kind and helping disposition and Flint as a Guild member with a humorous nature. This story allows us to see more of their characters, their struggles and their journey towards each other.
I loved seeing Raven’s passion and drive, specifically in her designs. She is an accomplished designer but strives to challenge herself and use innovative techniques and methods. It was quite inspiring to experience her dedication, especially in the face of her parent’s lack of personal support outside of what constituted a “proper image.” I feel that the weakest points in the story are related to the antagonist’s final plan, which are criticized by Raven in the story as well.
I think Raven is a nice addition to the Creepy Hollow series. We see a completely new side to the Fae world in the Fae fashion and high society parties, which are so removed from the Guild and human world. Raven also allows us to get to know characters who are briefly mentioned in the other Creepy Hollow books, but are deeply loved by characters we know from the series. Overall, I had a pleasant time re-entering the Fae world in this series and look forward to more from Rachel Morgan. (
