Being a Book Reviewer is not really easy as it appears to be as a considerable of effort goes into writing each review. Regardless of whether I’ve bought the book [cost not coming into play] or have won it in a giveaway, if I can’t give a rating of at least THREE STARS, I don’t post a review.

I had anticipated to get more from the book than had been realized when I got to the last page. What ruined the book’s storyline the most for me has been the age difference between the protagonist Lily, age thirteen; and the guy she got smitten by, aged seventeen. Come on now, she hasn’t even had her Sweet Sixteen birthday, the age for most girls where an interest in boys takes off. Lily is far too naïve to truly understand what love is all about and for this to happen so quickly between these two individuals. Perhaps being my age, I’m too old-fashioned to “appreciate” all this.

What makes all this even worse is that sexual relations with a prepubescent child, which I believe is what we have in the pages of this book, is generically called child sexual abuse or molestation, and is typically treated as a more serious crime. Given this, I feel a classification for this book as being one for young adults [YA] is definitely out of line, as is a classification of new adults [NA].

Don’t get me wrong; the book itself has a wonderful paranormal, page-turning storyline and had the ages been 17 and 21, the NA classification might be more appropriate for the readers it would attract.

Be advised the author has used British English in the writing this book, so the spelling and word usage might seem strange to those not familiar with it.

With the current ages of the two main characters in place, the dialogue being used, and the incorrect identification of the non-human characters in the book; the best I can give this book is 3 STARS.

Raven The Raven Saga Book 1 eBook Suzy Turner Reviews

The Raven is the perfect book for the young (younger) adult reader who enjoys the supernatural. It's really a very quick book, easy to read, no sex or horrible violence, so it's very suitable for even younger readers--I would say even as young as 5th or 6th graders, and possibly even younger advanced readers, although there is very simple romance in it. I'm assuming most readers would be girls as the protagonist is a young girl. As an adult, I enjoyed it too. It's fun to pick up an easy read and get lost in the story.

The Raven starts with a story of a poor girl who is severely emotionally neglected by her parents and one day, they are gone from her life and she is forced to go and live with her extended family. She then finds out that the world is filled with the supernatural beings she thought only existed in fairy tales and her world is opened up into all kinds of adventures and possibilities.

There are a lot of mysterious events, secrets to be revealed and all around exciting adventures in this book. The writing is really good, but again, is more in line with the younger reader. I've already started on the next in the series which centers around Lilly's best friend, December Moon. A wonderful series for your young reader.
So I was reading the reviews and I noticed a lot of the reviewers mentioned the age thing between two character Lilly who is 13 going on 14 and Oliver who is 17. So I was like this may not be a book I want to read as I believe that is a huge age difference to have two characters be together.
As I started reading I am glad to say I am glad that it went a certain way with these two as I believe Lilly has a lot on her plate she doesn't need to be in a relationship right now.
Lilly doesn't have a happy life. She has a mother who isn't a loving mother and her father she doesn't seem him she is a sad child who has grown to adapt to her life. So when all of a sudden coming home from school no one is at home she is thrown into a place with a family she has never known before. Though they know of her which is always a good thing.
Lilly gets to get the love she has always needed and wanted but along with that she gets a family secret and the truth of what happened to her mother! Not the mother she thought lived with her.
This secret her family has is a big one but it is one that Lilly needs to know about because it will affect her as well!
I think this would be a good book for teens as everything is completely clean in here and the action is minimum, and it has a good mystery within the pages!
I really loved how Lilly's family from Canada opened their arms to her and made her feel at home.
Lilly is a well developed character, who grows in a good way especially when faced with the one person that has caused not only her but her family heartache.
I am excited to see where this story is going to go because it seems that book two will be about Lilly's best friend December Moon. Which I wonder how she will play a part as we get just a glimpse of her in this book.
