The Girl and the Raven (The Girl and the Raven Book 1) by Pauline Gruber – Review by Vanessa Watts

The Girl and The Raven by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is definitely a modern retelling of good vs. evil with twists and turns that make this one book you won’t want to put down. This book reminds me of a coming-of-age story for Lucy who not only survives a difficult childhood but has to come to terms with things not being what they seem.
The characters in this book are well thought out and multi-dimensional. The way they interact with each other through the book is witty and emotional. Lucy who loses her mom and moves in with her two uncles into her grandmother’s flat comes face to face with a new reality she never knew existed. Throw into the mix a father she has never met, the crazy aunt upstairs, a brooding boyfriend, a friend group that at times are more enemy than friend, and Dylan a guy that only seems to bring trouble and you have a recipe for disaster. But when Lucy falls into danger can they all come together to save her life? Is everything always good vs. evil or does some grey in between area exist? This is one book you definitely need to read; you won’t regret it.
