Publisher's summary

Perched between branches and shadows,
We watch, we scheme,
Fighting for a kingdom forgotten and forlorn.

Until we rip her away with our claws,
Our prisoner, our pawn, our plaything.

She’s innocent and pure,
Fragile and helpless…
…but oh so guilty by blood.

She calls us beasts,
Wicked and evil,
Vicious and cruel.

We are all that and worse.

One of us offers her shelter beneath his wings,
Whispering promises of pleasure,
Seeking redemption.

The other longs to shatter her into a million pieces,
Whispering promises of pain,
Seeking revenge.

Caught between our feathers,
She endures our deranged desires,
Our secrets, our lies,
Our twisted plans.

Will she surrender to our darkness,
or fight for a destiny growing ever elusive?

Welcome to the Court of Ravens, little white dove.

Feathers So Vicious is a full-length dark fantasy romance novel and the first book in the Court of Ravens duet. The two-part story features two morally gray raven shifters, a young woman at the mercy of their shadows, and a HEA. This world contains dark elements, violence, and themes some may find disturbing. What this book doesn't contain is a hero—because villains do it better. And two do it better than one…

Excellent first book!

This book was soooo good! Spicey, amazing story and performance. Ughhhhh but that cliffhanger - can not WAIT for book 2!

I loved the story, not so much the narration

If you can READ this book, skip the audio version. Also, mind the trigger warnings.

Riveted.

Trigger warnings galore! That being said, I could not put this down! I’ve been in a book slump and this definitely got me out of it. Both mmc’s and the fmc’s characters are so complicated and well written. The story was great, the narrators did Ann amazing job and the spice was chef’s 💋

Intriguing??!

I don't normally listen to overly sexual titles mainly because they lack depth or a real story to follow. If you strip away all the sexual scenes in this book, you will still end up with an intriguing morally grey story with solid characters and a beautifully written cliffhanger. The narrators start up really bad all three of them, but you'll notice the improvement of two of the narrators by the end of the book. But I still say this book is not for everyone. You need to be so into very sexual dark fantasy romance to like it, or be very open minded to see beyond the elements that you might not like in the books you consume. I'm sure this book will trigger some people who went through abuse (sexual and mental).

WOW! Definitely not what I was expecting!

But loved it all the same. I cannot say how much I loved this story. My heart broke for what every single person went through. I hope the white Dove makes the two men gravel and beg and beg and beg some more before she lets them back in. The only mistake I made was listening to such a jem before the second book was released. Now I have to wait 5 whole days before I can get my fill, the anticipation is killing me. I wish we can listen to a preview before its release date

The suspense

I loved the authors story and the narrations but almost quit when the sex got to be somewhat raw and thought the plot was gone and I had just purchased a sex novel. But I hung in there and will be moving on to book two. Can’t wait to pick up where I left off

Dual Narration. Refreshing. A bit different than most fantasy novels

Spice level: 3
Dual narration: means each narrator does both male and female voices. Duet is much better but this dual narration isn’t too bad.

I feel like this story deserves far more attention than it’s received. I have read over 300 books last year and many of them were good but not memorable. I have a feeling I’ll be thinking about this series for a bit. It’s worth a listen and I suggest going in blind if you are triggered by many things. If you are definitely read triggers first

Loved this book

This book isn’t predictable like so many in this genre tend to be. The actors on the audible were great and did not make any of it cheesy but added depth

Feathers So Vicious, Book 1 Court of Ravens

Wow! Just WOW! I read both of these books back to back, and it honestly took me a few days to process when done. LOTS of Triggers in this book- if you are a sensitive reader/listener, please read the trigger warnings on this author's website. This book easily rivals Game of Throne levels of cruelty and abuse of all kinds of nature- male, female, children, adults- no one escaped it. It is a brutal account of the depths some individuals will go in their prejudices against others. With that said and warned, this story is freaking amazing. This is the first time I have read this author. Definitely will not be the last. I loved all the twists and turns. Many "WTF" and "OMG, did that just happen" moments. I did not want to put the book down, which is why I went immediately into the second book. This book does end in a cliffhanger, but have no fear- the next book is already available! The characters are very complex- each with their own hellish childhood. The character you hate the most in this book, you will be in love with in the next. I found this book because of Tor Thom. I love his voice, so I discovered this book through seeing he was one of the narrators. The other narrators were just as amazing and well suited for the characters. I do hope to read more from this author.
