Get ready, get set, get gripped!!! This book will hook its claws in and won’t let go until you read every word (and then it may just give you nightmares). Greer is ripped from the home she knows in Paris to be a casket girl in New Orleans. As if that wasn’t enough Greer realizes that all the casket girls, herself included, are being fed on by whatever or whomever sleeps in the casket shaped boxes. This paranormal romance has everything you could want it to have, including great character, many details, loads of information, action, steam and even a touch on mythology with Hades making himself known. I really enjoyed this story and will be looking forward to the next installment in the series!

Brazeau – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert
Intriguing and mysterious from the start, the story draws the reader in. It took a bit for me to become fully immersed in the story, but once you are in, there is no putting it down. The dreams in the start blur lines and makes you question what is real. Of course, the story got me once a romance was alluded to. I’m a sucker for romance. The characters were all well developed and relatable. The setting was immersive, and the plot twists just kept surprising me. Definitely an enjoyable read, and a series that I am looking forward to continuing.

Brazeau – Review by Ashleyann Sanabria
This book is different from what I normally read, I usually just go for the paranormal but thought to switch it up a bit and I couldn’t be happier in doing so. This book was incredible. The story and conflicts and just everything in it kept me on my seat and wanting to read it more. This book really took on a classic and made it into a new way to look at the paranormal. The story flowed so well together that it never made me feel lost and had to turn back again. I really enjoyed the characters but especially Greer she is strong and could sense things and see things that no one else could. I really can’t wait to know if there will be more to this story and what more it could offer.

Blood & Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance (The Casket Girls #1) by A.D. Brazeau
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Blood and Ravens will have you hooked from the beginning. It’s also the first book in The Casket Girls Series.
Greer was living the best she could in Paris. That changes when she’s taken off the streets and thrown on a boat. She dreams of this mysterious man and finds that he’s real. The quote I chose for Greer is: “My head feels fine. I’m curious about something. The three of you volunteered for this, as did almost everyone else. Why? Why leave your home to find a husband on the other side of the world? You have no idea what you’ll be getting.”
Theron knows he shouldn’t fall for his prey, but the little rabbit intrigues him. He wants to get back in Hades’ good graces, but that isn’t going to work. Now he’s feeling things he shouldn’t for Greer and that can be dangerous. The quote I chose for Theron is: “Well, you’re right about one thing, your friend is at the end. I told that blasted fool to go easy on her. She’s supposed to last until he can move on to the husband. But you’re wrong if you think you can do anything about it. You, my little rabbit, can’t hurt us. Even if you were at full strength.”

Brazaeu-Review by Amanda Kimble
Blood & Ravens is the first book in The Casket Girls series. I love it so much. Greer is so strong and determined. She has a way about her that just seems to draw you in. Theron is not all that he seems at first look. He is acting out of character and he is not sure why. He is being pulled towards Greer. This world that the author has built is wonderful. New Orleans and all of its charm. A variety of characters that are well thought out and interesting. I definitely can’t wait for the next book in this series!

Brazeau – Review by Michelle Collier
Great new take on a vampire novel. I enjoyed how the traditional storyline is referenced, but a new twist is added to include some Greek mythology as side characters. The main character, Greer, is strong and defiant, even when torn out of her comfortable surroundings and sent to live in antebellum New Orleans. Theron is her “dark knight” and is the connection to the Greek storyline and potential love interest. I would love for the pace to slow down a bit and get to know the characters a little better, but this is a great start! The setup for the series is great and I look forward to reading the next one!

Brazeau – Review by Jana Lewis
This was definitely not at all what I expected this book to be about just from the title. I was blown away by all the details and thought out plot that the author put into this book.
I love Greer as the main female character, a fierce protector of those who are important to her, kind to a fault, and stronger than people give her credit for. After being uprooted from her life in Paris and placed among the casket girls set to be married to a complete stranger. Greer makes friends with other casket girls and after feeling as though the dark dreams weren’t really dreams she starts realizing that her friends and herself are nothing more than food from a darkness no one can fathom. Theron who has claimed Greer as his own realizes his own feelings have not only put him in danger but Greer as well. Now facing Hades’ wrath , Greer realizes she wants to save Theron but what can she offer to Hades, the god of the underworld? Why is it Theron can’t seem to let go of Greer?
I absolutely loved the mixing of Greek mythology with paranormal beings and how the author flawlessly incorporated them into one delicious story. I could not stop reading this book and now am off to get the second just so I can see what else happens! I am hooked and if you like paranormal romances with action and intrigue I think you will be too. This is definitely a must read!

Brazeau – Review by Vanessa Watts
This is an excellent paranormal romance by an author I had never read before. I’ve recently started reading more paranormal romance and I was attracted by the blurb of this book, so decided to give the author a chance. I’m glad that I took the chance as I really liked this book very much. Set in 1782 in New Orleans, Greer had been happily selling flowers on the streets of Paris when she was kidnapped and put on a boat filled with other women and taken to Paris to stay in a convent until they were married off. I loved reading Greer and Theron’s story. Women at that time we supposed to be meek and subservient. Greer was very much the opposite – sassy, opinionated and not scared to get into trouble. Theron could not help the attraction he felt towards her, even though she was supposedly just a thing for him to feed on. I really enjoyed reading about the secondary characters in the book, the girls that Greer befriended on the boat journey over and at the convent. I particularly liked Desiree and hope we get to see more of her in this series. I admit I wasn’t too enamoured with Edith but she may be redeemed in time…or not. This is a great book and I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and what an introduction it was! Wow I was hooked from the very start. This book definitely satisfied my enjoyment of paranormal, dark and romance genres! I loved the historical parts to the story too. There really was so much going on in this book that I was completely captivated by what I was reading. I loved the characters Greer and Theron. Greer was a strong heroine and great to read about, she was definitely strong and fierce and I absolutely loved her. Theron is kind of like the bad boy you shouldn’t but can’t help but love. I am really excited to read book 2 in this series!

This was such a different story from what I have read with other vampire genres, and I loved it! The word building was immaculate and had me glued to my phone as I was reading this book and could not put it down! This story encompasses Greer, a girl who was taken from her home and promised to a man she does not know and Theron, a demon who uses people for his fill of blood. Their story starts to get entangled and became better and better the more that I read. This is the first book that I have read by this author, and it was absolutely amazing! I cannot wait to read the next books in the series and other books!

Brazeau- Review by Heather Knalls
Blood and Ravens by A.D. Brazeau is the first book of the “Casket Girl” series as well as my first book by this author. Blood and Ravens is filled with vampires, demons, and Gods. I was pulled into this story wanting to know what was going to happen next. I was surprised at the twist in this story. I liked how the story took place in a late period, but I could still relate. I haven’t ever heard of the Casket Girls but was very interested in what these girls were carrying. I will have to read the next installment to see what happens next with the love between Greer and Theron and if we will see anymore twists to the story.

This is the first book that I’ve read from this author and it’s the first book in the casket girls’ series. I was not disappointed. This is an amazing book. I’ve never been a big fan or historical book, but this was a refreshing. I was immediately intrigued from the beginning. I fell in love with the plot of the story, and I was not able to pull away from this. If you are into historical paranormal vampire romance stories, this is the book for you. I look forward to reading the second book in the series.

Greer wakes up on a ship with a group of girls that are off to a convent in New Orleans in order to get married and find a new life. Unlike most of the girls there, Greer didn’t volunteer for this and has been kidnapped feom the streets of Paris. Theron is a demon that travels with Greer’s group and he just so happens to be feeding on Greer. Throughout his feasting he has developed feelings for her. With hints of Greek mythology, vampires, a strong willed female character, and slow burn steam – I thoroughly enjoyed this read and will be keeping an eye out for the next book.

Brazeau – Reviewed by Jasmin Slagle
Blood and Ravens is a historically based paranormal romance novel that has a premise that pulled me in from the very beginning. It is book one in a series. Greer is kidnapped and thrown into a ship and taken to New Orleans where she doesn’t know anything or anyone but she is required upon disembarking the ship to stay at a convent and be pushed into an arranged marriage that she wants nothing to do with. Although she keeps having dreams about a man at her bedside that she can barely remember. Enter Theron, the mysterious man at her bedside who can’t help but want her to notice him. I’m a sucker for the rough, tough bad guy who progresses in the story and ‘changes’ or reveals his heart and he’s really a big softie or he has feelings for ‘the girl’ he’s never had for anyone else before. I did enjoy the writing and the story had me hooked from the beginning and I had trouble putting it down, finishing it all in one night. I am looking forward to other books in the series that I hope include at least a little snippet of an update as to how these two are doing with Greer’s deal with Hades.

I loved Greer and Theron. The push and pull between them, and the undeniable chemistry made the story magnetic. Greer was a strong and fierce heroine, and you cant help but fall in love with her character. Theron was very much a dark and broody soul with bad boy vibes. Together they are dark, intense, and fearsome. This was a dark tale I will not forget, and I am eager to continue to see if they couple thrives.

Blood & Ravens is the first book in The Casket Girls series. I was drawn to it by the 18th-Century New Orleans setting and was soon captivated by the vivid world and the paranormal plot. The story builds on the experiences of young women who were sent from France to North America to marry the settlers and highlights the challenges they faced – seasickness, uncertainty, isolation, husbands with whom they had no romantic connection – as well as the conditions back home that would make this seem like an attractive choice. But it adds in a paranormal element, with vampires taking advantage of the situation to start a new life overseas. There are some great characters in this book – Greer of course, and also her friends. I particularly like Desiree and am thrilled to see that the second book in the series will focus on her! I can’t wait to learn more of her story. This is an enjoyable read, with some plot twists that really caught me by surprise! The best thing about it is the setting – clearly well-researched and with plenty of detail to bring it to life and also encourage an interest in this period of history. It gets five stars from me!

Brazeau – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
It is the year 1782 and Greer is a young woman who sells flowers on the streets of Paris, she is independent and earning just enough to scrape by, but she is happy, that is until she is kidnapped and wakes up in New Orleans, she has no memory of how she came to be there, but as she drags her casket shaped trunk to a local convent, where she finds out that she is to marry a man whom the nuns have chosen for her, she is to become a Casket Girl. Theron is a demon who has been cast out of the Underworld and cursed by Hades to live as a vampire for eternity has travelled to New Orleans and found that his chosen food source for the journey is fast becoming something more, but he denies it as vehemently as he can.
As Greer settles in to life within the convent and gets to know the girls she shares the dormitory with, she becomes friends with a couple of them and they band together to find out what has happened to them and why, not to mention the strange dreams of her Dark Knight and how he treats her with a tenderness she has never experienced before. Meanwhile, Theron is trying his hardest to keep from feeling things he has no right to feel about his prey, however, when she wakes and discovers what is happening, he has no choice but to confront her about it, but he struggles to maintain the distance he needs and as more time passes, he realises that he doesn’t want to.
As their predicament becomes clear, Greer tries to convince her friends of what is happening, that the dreams she has been having are real and someone is really feeding off of her and her friends and that they are residing in their casket shaped cases, but as their wedding days draw nearer, they need a plan to escape. However, this path is not without dangers for both Greer and Theron and when they are confronted by Hades himself, will Greer be able to save all those she loves and now holds dear, or will it all end in disaster? This is a paranormal romance with a dark twist as danger lurks around every corner and darkness feeds off light as this dramatic story plays out in the streets of New Orleans, where nothing is as it seems and you are pulled into the twisted world behind the holiest of walls.

Brazeau – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
I was intrigued with this story as soon as I saw the cover and once I read the synopsis, I was hooked. I love how Brazeau pulls you in from the first page and doesn’t let you go. Her character development is spot on and her plot is thought out and polished. I thoroughly enjoyed how the author poses ethical/moral dilemmas all the while forcing the reader to question the things they would do for the ones they love. This is the first installment in the Casket Girls series by A. D. Brazeau. Greer wakes up on a boat far from her “home” and cannot remember how she got there. She quickly makes acquaintances with a few other girls around her as they disembark in New Orleans. As the story goes on, we meet Theron, a vampire cursed to his fate by Hades himself. We briefly catch glimpses of who Theron really is versus who he is seen as, as we get both Greer’s and Theron’s perspective. As Greer and Theron’s stories intertwine, complications arise and there are twists and turns throughout the book. I could not put this book down and cannot wait for the next installment!

Brazeau – Review by Megan Conley
One of the best things about this novel, is that it’s story wrapped around a kernel of history/truth! I don’t know much about the actual casket girls, or the ladies who came over from the continent, but it does make you curious about the ladies who did come to the America. I’m sure there definitely was a strong willed lady like Desire, a survivor like Greer, a dreamer/optimist like Edith and finding something voice like Sylvie. The story for these ladies is set in a paranormal/fantasy world where the ladies are met with something not from this world and will change the course as they know it. Nothing is as it seems, and the puzzle pieces come together but will they be able to accept it? You will have to read to it to find out! The authors writing is enjoyable and creates a world that you can submerse your senses into. Read it and enjoy the ride.

I love a good paranormal book filled with vampires. Add in some historical features, and wow! Set during the time of the real Casket girls in New Orleans, Greer, finds herself in a strange area with a man she is supposed to marry? Theron chooses Greer to be his food, but is that all she is going to be? Can they save each other? The twists and turns kept me glued to the page till the end.

Brazeau – Review by Angela Packard
I’d like to start off saying that I first heard of the Casket Girls in one of my favorite TV shows. That’s when I found out that it was a reference to the actual casquette/Casket Girls. I thought it was cool that even though Blood & Ravens is a fictional story, the author chose to set the story in the same place and time period as the real Casket Girls. Blood & Ravens was a phenomenal read. It started off a little slow but once the pace picked up it definitely didn’t disappoint. Just when you think you know where the story is going something happens and you’re pleasantly surprised by the turn it takes. There was a great cast of characters, great storyline and a great twist at the end. Can’t wait to read book #2.

This is a daunting story of young women wanting to find husbands in the new world. All is not what it seems. The women are put in appalling conditions in the bottom of a ship and basically starved. As the women get off the ship in hopes for a better life, things become more complicated than they ever expected. Will they be married off to good men? Will life improve? Many twists and turns to keep you reading and engaged in the story. Greer, your main female character has the guts to push the limits and put herself in harm’s way more than once. This book had a different premise than most paranormal books I have read. Well worth the read.

Couldn’t put it down. I need the next instalment STAT! Happy Reading!

Brazeau – Review by Angela Hayes
Blood & Ravens by A.D. Brazeau is wonderfully dark and delicious! I really enjoyed delving into the world of 18th-century New Orleans. I loved the bond between Greer and her fellow casket girls. I also loved the chemistry between Greer and Theron; it was amazing! It was also fun seeing them both struggle with their attraction to each other. This was a book with a decadent plot and great characters. Blood and Ravens is a very intriguing story and a great beginning to what is sure to be a fascinating series. I cannot wait to start the next book.

Brazeau – Review by La Toya Lewis
In the 17th century of New Orleans, nothing is as it seems. Greek Gods, and vampires oh my! Greer was used to living her life in Paris, until something happens and she finds herself as a casket girl, and drawn towards the mysterious Theron. She is very drawn to him and she doesn’t know why. Enter Hades. Lord of the underworld, and a very wrathful person. This author knows what they’re doing in this series. The writing is captivating, and the little bit of historical facts littered throughout the books, is amazing. I couldn’t simply put it down and found myself reading into the wee hours of the morning. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Brazeau – Review by Crystal Jimmo
5 out of 5 stars amazing paranormal romance. Never thought that Greer will fall for Theron. She knew something was wrong but no one believed her. She only wanted to save her friends but she had to sacrifice herself for them. Theron knew what lay ahead of him but he was tired of everything. Both never knew that love can exist in them. The other did an amazing job here. It gave me chills in each part of their stories, going from one character to another.
