The Ravenswood Witch
The year is 1885 and a young woman is on the run, knowing if she’s caught, she’ll be hanged for murder. Moments from a safe haven, she collides with a gruff stranger, falling and breaking her ankle.
To her surprise, the man – Marcus Greybourne – convinces the local constable that she is his reclusive wife of ten years, Luna. He carries her back to the neglected and crumbling Ravenswood Hall, promising if she agrees to maintain this charade, he will keep her safe until her injuries have healed.
But the house is haunted by shadows and secrets. What’s more, the real Luna Greybourne is missing, without trace. Scratches and marks made by her around the house suggest witchcraft; and indeed Luna is known locally as the Ravenswood Witch; her reputation in tatters, like the wallpapers of the padlocked rooms she’d destroyed.
As strange happenings in the house continue, outside the screech of a raven echoes across oppressive woods that seem alive with dark magic. And the woman who is now pretending to be Luna can’t help but fear she’s escaped the noose for a far more terrible fate…
The Review
Hello Book friends!
Today I’m reviewing The Ravenswood Witch by Jenni Keer. In this historical fiction, a young woman is on the run, and if caught, it would cost her, her life. As she flees for safety, she’s thwarted by Marcus Greybourne, who she literally collides into and he accidently breaks her ankle. But the stranger saves her from the gallows, by tricking the constable, telling him the woman is his wife.
A Few More Thoughts
I was completely intrigued by this one, book friends.
With multiple POVS and time shifts (these shift do not confuse or take away from the present timeline, which I love) this book is one that readers will savor. And after the plot twists (oh those plot twist) readers will be cheering Luna and Marcus on to have their happy ending. Because they deserve it (for so many reasons I will let you discover).
A fake marriage of convenience, second chances for a better life, and plot twists I did not see coming, readers will be engrossed from the opening lines in this murder mystery historical fiction romance (I know, that’s a lot, but it’s oh so good), with a hint of magic.
I may have a book hangover after this one…
Go pre-order this one book friends.
Happy Reading ~ Cece
