The Raven

De: Sylvain Reynard

Narrado por: John Michael Morgan

The author of the Gabriel's Inferno Trilogy reveals a beautiful yet deadly underworld where creatures of the night roam and Gabriel and Julianne become the target of a powerful but elusive enemy…

Raven Wood spends her days at Florence’s Uffizi gallery restoring Renaissance art. But an innocent walk home after an evening with friends changes her life forever. When she intervenes in the senseless beating of a homeless man, his attackers turn on her, dragging her into an alley. Raven is only semiconscious when their assault is interrupted by a cacophony of growls followed by her attackers’ screams. Mercifully, she blacks out, but not before catching a glimpse of a shadowy figure who whispers to her . . .

Cassita vulneratus.

When Raven awakes, she is inexplicably changed. Upon returning to the Uffizi, no one recognizes her. More disturbingly, she discovers that she’s been absent an entire week. With no recollection of her disappearance, Raven learns that her absence coincides with one of the largest robberies in Uffizi history—the theft of a set of priceless Botticelli illustrations. When the police identify her as their prime suspect, Raven is desperate to clear her name. She seeks out one of Florence’s wealthiest and most elusive men in an attempt to uncover the truth. Their encounter leads Raven to a dark underworld whose inhabitants kill to keep their secrets . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Raven was a fabulous Gothic treat of a book filled with ancient vampires, dark vendettas, and star-crossed love."—Deb Harkness, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Life

Praise for the Gabriel Trilogy

“I found myself enraptured by Sylvain Reynard’s flawless writing.”—The Autumn Review

“Emotionally intense and lyrical.”—Totally Booked Blog

William saves this book! Book 1 of 3!

I struggle to write this review because throughout the book, I wanted to either smack Jane/Raven upside the head or I was too busy yelling "what the....." at her!
William is the savior and the character to focus on in this book. He's swoonworthy! Due to his age, he has become despondent and lacks empathy, and believes he cannot feel because he is a vampire. But, his actions speak louder and he makes the listener fall in love with him.
Raven on the other hand... :( Part damsel in distress, part wannabe savior, part self-sacrificing lamb with bouts of intelligence, lots of dumb courage, and mostly maddeningly obtuse.
With great angst, I purchased books two and three. Solely because I want to hear William, his story, and find out more.
John Michael Morgan was exceptional. He does narrate the second book. Sadly, he had passed away in 2016 after narrating the second book. The third book has a different narrator.
This is not a cliffhanger but the second book continuous the story.

Ugh very long to end in a semi-cliffhanger

Interesting character development and the story is very complex and engagjng but I was disappointed it didn't really end. Not your typical vampire romance.

Great read

I live the entire series of these books, the only problem with them is they end too quickly, I don't want them to be over!

loved it!!

loved the story!!!! Loved the narrative by John Michael Morgan!! cant wait to dive into another!!

Fabulous

I am absolutely enthralled with this author! I cannot get enough of him, period and I will keep reading his books as often as I can.
