White Raven

A Young Adult Paranormal

De: J.L. Weil

Narrado por: Caitlin Kelly

It only took one heartbeat to change my life - one chilling phone call in the middle of the night.

And then, as if my life didn't already suck, my dad sends my brother and me to some idyllic island for the summer to live with a grandma we never met. WTH. Naturally, I rebel. In the end, I find myself shipped off to Raven Hallow... and bored to tears.

Until I get an eyeful of the mind-bendingly gorgeous Zane Hunter. The dark-haired cutie makes my pulse go bonkers, and I think, maybe this might not be so bad after all. Six feet of swoon-inducing looks, with a hint of Celtic charm in his voice, he was the type of guy that left a string of broken hearts in his wake. And I had all the heartbreak I could handle.

Yet, there is something uncanny, almost supernatural about Zane, and it's not just his devastating smirk. No matter how much distance I put between us, Raven Hallow isn't big enough, and the sparking tension between is undeniable. Of course, the one person I want to avoid becomes my salvation.

My past comes back to terrorize me. Someone wants me dead, and the closer I get to the truth, the more I realize my whole life is a lie. I am no longer sure what is more frightening - the attempts on my life or the guy whose heart and soul are synchronized with mine.

Annoying

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This book is very, very YA for my opionion. I like listen YA sometimes, is something amazing, but this book isn't attractive.

What was most disappointing about J.L. Weil’s story?

The story seems to turn around the girl and the bad boy (that's not so bad boy), then suddenly the focus shifts to the family secret and everything starts to turn around the famiyl obligations.

Could you see White Raven being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I don't know, because I dislike ths book.

Good narrator, so-so character

I really like the narrator. She sounds young like the character and portrays the anguish of her character.

I had some difficulty finishing the story. I didn't care much about Piper. She was pretty whiney, and there was a fair bit of bad language which wasn't necessary at all. The dialog could use some work. Ignoring her, the story was ok.

Yes, especially if they have a teen. Good book, language is a little harsh.

What did you like best about this story?

The ambivelent feelings Zane and Piper have together.

Which character – as performed by Caitlin Kelly – was your favorite?

His discriptions of the area around seemed to be right on. He achieve this by telling thru the charachter what is happening around them.

Nothing was wrong with the narrator's performance it seemed right on.

Any additional comments?

Except for the language this was a good book for someone who liked reading Divergent or those type of books.

Just as great as an audiobook

I had read this book a while back and enjoyed it so much. Now that I have it on audio, I love it even more! Theres just something about putting all the different voices to the characters to help bring the story alive even more. I love it! You cannot go wrong with this book

Great Storyline

I enjoyed the series very much. Only thing I would say is that the lag to get Piper to engage in the search for the solution (trying to not give it away) was unbearable at times. It just didn’t give enough detail as to the trials she had to go thru to become was she was born to become.
