NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • One magical inn, two kids with supernatural powers, and an ancient Celtic creature trying to destroy their world... Wednesday meets Supernatural in this bewitching middle-grade series!

Thirteen-year-old Anna Ballinkay has never been normal. Her family uses their psychic abilities to help run the Ravenfall Inn, a magical B&B between the human world and the Otherworld. But it’s hard to contribute when your only power is foreseeing death.

So when fourteen-year-old Colin Pierce arrives at Ravenfall searching for his missing older brother, Anna jumps at the chance to help. But the mysteries tied to Colin go much deeper than either of them expects...

Now the supernatural creature straight out of Celtic mythology, one with eerie connections to Colin's family, is coming after them. If Anna and Colin can’t stop the creature, it would spell destruction for Ravenfall and the world as they know it.

Absolutely Incredible

I LOVE this book. The voice actors did an amazing job with this story. The creativity in this book blows me away. (I plan on buying the book for my niece this Christmas.) I absolutely reccomend this book and now plan on reading more from this author. 😀

The ending was amazing!!

I really enjoyed all the characters in this book. The story is amazing and I really enjoyed the narration. I recommend this book for all ages!

Magic meets adventure and mystical creatures and powers

I am very picky about the books I read so this book making me hold my breath towards the end is saying a lot! Amazing find. Full of magic, mystical creatures, powers, and insanely good story line. Pulls you in and keeps you listening/reading.

A quick read full of twists, turns and adventure

An amazing read! I quickly found myself falling in love with the characters. I found myself engulfed in the characters’ journey and unable to put this book down.

Perfect Fall Read

This book is so wholesome and such a fun read. I really enjoyed the autumnal feel and the whole vibe of the boom was amazing.

I liked the opening portion the most

The initial chapters gave me the hope that we would see a lot of character development and world building. At the narrative went along, it seemed to devolve into the frenetic pace of an action movie with know-it-all teens taking on the world, which is why only 3 stars for the story. Perhaps subsequent books will add more development. I am curious to know why an Irish/celtic liminal village exits outside of Portland.

Fun and creative

Loved this fun book, perfect scary without gruesome. Great for kids and adults alike. Can’t want to listen to the next one with my daughter.

Amazing

I loved this book, it keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I liked it !

Definitely worth a listen . I’ve already gotten book 2!! My only reason for a 4 instead of a 5 start review is simple…. I was not a huge fan of the male narrator. It wasn’t bad , I just didn’t care for the way he portrayed the character. Also, the switching of characters from Anna to Collin was jarring and through me out of the story especially Collins parts . I like it better with one voice actor. It’s just my opinion but is the reason for 4 starts . The story itself was good . The creatures and story line were great 😊

Overall? Meh. . .

Look, I’m not one to say “abc is just a crappy rip off of xyz” whenever I don’t like a story, but this really felt like a ten-year-old obsessed Wednesday, Encanto and maybe Harry Potter had to write a short story for a creative writing assignment, only to end up getting attached and deciding to write a book. Honestly, if a ten year old had written this, I’d probably be impressed with their commitment. But no, it’s just confusing and kinda bland for no apparent reason. What I’m saying is, I’m sure this book could be a great read for someone else. But I found it a huge let down and will probably be returning it :/
