Resumen del Editor

In her 13th life, Aven has settled into the now witchcraft-friendly Salem where she has found true happiness and friendship, maybe even love. Despite her contentment, the truth of Aven's existence haunts her. When she dies, her Spirit is forced from the Veil to live again in the body of a stranger.

Does the elusive white raven, who has shadowed Aven through each of her lives, hold the secret to her release - or is it the cause?

To make matters worse, an unrelenting, twisted evil lurks closely behind her. Sustained by his hatred of the witch, he won't give up until she's paid for what she did to him.

When the truth of Aven's connection to the white raven is revealed, it is more horrifying than she could ever have imagined.

Her freedom will come at a terrible price. And even then, will she truly be free?

Emotional and gripping, this captivating debut novel is filled with vivid imagery carrying you on a roller coaster journey of suspense, tears, anger, and laughter.

Enjoyable story

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review

I enjoyed this story. I enjoyed the flow of the story and found some of the problems the characters faced very intriguing. Occasionally I would feel like a character was behaving in a way that didn't fit with their overarching behavior. I really enjoyed the different voices Wade used to differentiate between characters. They were distinct which really helps me when I listen to a book.

Looking forward to the next story.

Overall a great book. I am looking forward to the next book in this story. Did a great job of describing the surroundings.

Definitely worth checking out

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was an interesting tale of witches and reincarnation. I found I was drawn in fairly quickly and that I cared about what happens to Aven. I thought the premis was intriguing and the narration was engaiging. All in all, worth checking out.

Cute Witch Novel

The White Raven drew me in almost instantly. I listened to it while traveling and ended up completing the Audible version within 4 days of starting. The character of Aven is very no nonsense and likable. She is currently living her 13th life in today’s time after many persecuted lives in the past. She finally finds love from friends to go along with the animals and fairies that are attracted to her presence. Many other novels about witches have a period of self-discovery but Aven knows exactly who she is (if not her complete past) along with her values and power from the beginning of the book. The characters are likable though not deep. If you come to this book looking for development like Discovery of Witches you will be disappointed however if you want a sweet story with a fast pace this is for you.

Fun, creative and larger than life characters

Enjoyable story and vivid characters. Follow Aven as she discovers how she arrived in this place and time. I loved the animals, the friendships and Salem setting.
I cant wait for the next book. There are more adventures waiting.

Good story, not great.

Several times in the beginning chapters I considered returning the book but I persisted. The narrator's performance was challenging to listen to, not pausing at the end of sentences before going into the next. Emphasis was not placed properly and intonations that were just off, making it hard to know if the words were being spoken by the characters were their thoughts. Honestly, I don't know anything about the narrator and don't mean any disrespect, but it was very untrained. There are many parts of the story that are cliché and simplistic. Some of the plot was predictable. It did, however, hold my interest to the end.
