Raven Daughter, Book 1

De: A.D. Trosper

Narrado por: Suzanne T. Fortin, Zachary Johnson

Everything started the night after Jo’s mother was buried. When someone tried to kill her and she was pulled into something bigger than the mortal world she’d grown up in.

That was when she met Caius, a powerful and dangerous demon hybrid. She doesn’t know why he helped save her life that night; she only knows what she’s been told: The demonborn are enemies.

But the undercurrents in the immortal world run deep and treacherous and her new home isn’t what she thought it was. When she’s thrust into a dangerous journey with Caius and the truth about her heritage is revealed, she soon realizes the man who is supposed to be her enemy may be the only one who can keep her safe.

Great first book in the series

Loved this unusual story of demons, angels and reapers. When Jo and Victoria’s mother dies of cancer, the girls are trust into a world they didn’t know existed and the truth of their individual heritage is unearthed. As Victoria settles into her new life, Jo’s becomes increasingly complicated. As secrets are revealed, the dangers and problems grow, and when she is assigned a clandestine mission with a Demon-born, Jo’s life is turned upside down once again. This is a fast paced story with surprises at every turn. I loved the author refreshing take on demons and angles and especially how nothing is black and white with them. Jo is a character you easily become attached to, she is strong, snarky and capable, and the slow revealing of who she is and what abilities she has is great. Cauis is a complex hunk of a character that you can not help but fall for, who would have guessed that a demon could be so appealing! The duel narrators did an excellent job of giving the characters individual voices and making you feel all the emotions and tension in the story. I loved the one sentence commentary by Cauis at the end of the chapters and the deep sexy voice Zackary Johnson uses for him makes your toes curl and leaves you wanting more. This is a great story and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

This is one I’ll definitely listen to more than once!

The narrators did a great job, had no trouble following along.

The story starts off less natural than the rest of the book felt like for me. Not that I didn’t like it or that it was plain or forced or whatever but it was just a bit too much new situations all at once with a very closed of main character (who’s always the odd one out).
I do like the main character though. And the storyline. After each chapter told from Jo’s pov there is 1 sentence said by Caius that gives a bit more of an insight to the story.

I don’t really know what else I can say without giving some spoilers. Took me a while to get this review done because of that but truly, this one is one that is so intriguing you keep on listening. I love this world and the characters in it. And that ending... I need book 2 asap! Not that it ends with a cliffhanger (I hate those lol) but it’s just a renewed start in their quest so it’s a promise for more captivating things to come!

It is an interesting take on the angelic realms

There are some positives and negatives. I have to admit that initially as I was listening to the story I was unsure about the book. The fact that the main character and her sister just accept that they are these hybrid beings and allow themselves to be ushered away from each other is a bit much. They have their "respective" new lives with neither of them putting up any kind of resistance. I was thrown off by the random quotes at the end of every chapter, and I still don't know its point. The narrator was pretty good, even though there were several parts where she sounds genuinely bored. The positives for the book is that the writing is done well. I greatly appreciate that she skipped past all the training and learning when Jo was being trained to become a reaper. She references her classes sometimes and to me, that is so much better than when we spend over half a book just on their first week of training. There are some twists and turns in the book, that only add to the depth and intrigue. By the end of the book, I was hooked and ready to start the next one. No matter what, I do not think that you will regret reading this series. I know that I will listen to this book again, and still enjoy it. I hope that you enjoy it too.

Loved It!

It’s been awhile since I found a series as interesting and captivating as this one. I started listening to it and could not put it down! It’s amazing how the story sucked me in from the very beginning. I absolutely loved this book.

Narration was excellent and brought the story to life. I loved Caius POV quote at the end of each chapter.

This is my first book from this author and I’m looking forward to the next book. I really enjoyed her writing style and I can’t wait to see what will happen next.

more

I will start off say I feel like this book went by to fast even with this being almost 9 hours. I love long books that go fast be that tells my I really got in to the book. I feel Jo. I feel like I can relate to Jo sometimes. One because I am always telling people I am fine. And when this book came to an end all I could do is think no why don't I have the next book yet. I need to know what is going next.
