Shadow Bringer (Raven Academy Book 1) by Brandi Elledge – Review by Santana Hicks

Shadow Bringer: Raven Academy by Brandi Elledge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Riley lives a boring life in a world filled with danger. She is taught to stay within the walls and follow the rules if she wants to survive in today’s world filled with monsters. She is taught to fear the dark and the shadows that lurk in it. Now that Riley is nearing her 18th birthday, she is bored living in the constraints of her religious upbringing and wants to leave the community. Just one more year of school and Riley and her best friend Sam, will make a run for it.

When Riley starts the new school year she is met with a group of new kids from outside the city walls. Instantly she is intrigued, especially by one of the new kids in particular. She knows that they are trouble but the call of the outside world is too strong for Riley to ignore. At what price will Riley pay to get what she truly wants?

I absolutely loved this book. One of my favourites this year. The author did an amazing job building the world and all that’s in it. The author combined a bunch of creatures from Vampires and werewolves to Witches and those that are known as the Shadow Bringers. I was hooked from page one. Riley was always the perfect child, never broke any rules and it was nice to watch her come into her own and stop caring about what others want her to do, doing her own thing instead. She is strong and will do anything for those she loves. I cannot see what the group will do next in this next book in the series!
