An infamous love, destined nevermore,
For death could not claim, the enchanting Lenore.
Cursed by the malevolent spirit of the Headless Horseman, Ireland Crane ventures to Manhattan in search of a way to break her soul crushing bond. Instead, she discovers the lines between fact and fiction are blurring once more. Croaking ravens. Telltale hearts. Could the works of Poe be coming to pass with handsome Wall Street Midas Ridley Peolte as their unwilling target?
She walks the Earth, a plague on mankind,
searching for he, her rotted heart doth pine.
Together, the two unknowingly release a dark force death itself could not tame. Surrounded by the unrelenting violence and mayhem they’ve unleashed, Ireland feels her control over the Horseman slipping. Before the beast within consumes her, she and her crew must follow the clues of the dead to right a centuries’ old wrong. Will it be enough to sate the Horseman’s appetite?
Hell hath no fury like a ghoul scorned.

Christy – ☆☆☆☆☆
What do you get when you mix snarky attitude with a monster who has a conscience? Why Crane, of course. But Mrs. Rourke was not done there, she just upped it another level with Raven. With an amazing flare for darkness with a dash of light, we step into the twisted story of Poe and his truest love. Ireland and her crew take on this new twist in their story with the same heart and action as before.
This book was impossible to put down and I mean literally, I tried and was back at it within minutes. I could go on and on and say so much but I won’t because simply stated, you have to read it to appreciate it. I will say this, I could not be more pleased with the nods to Mr. Poe’s works subtlety woven into the story, it makes me want to go break out his complete works and read some old favorites.
All I can do now is sit in wonder and wait for the next one!
