The Raven Spell (Book 1 of 2) by Luanne G. Smith

First Line:

Edwina and Mary, quite contrary.

Summary:

Private detective Ian Cameron can't remember who he is. His memories are fragmented after an almost fatal blow to the head.

Edwina Blackwood, a witch with a murky past, volunteers to help him recover his lost memories and help him solve the mystery.

The two must race against time, and the so-called killer roaming the streets.

My Review: NO SPOILERS

A great, easy read!

Listened to this on Audible, and it was great! The voice actor's range impressed me, and she really got into the story. The accents weren't obnoxious, and it was easy to distinguish between characters.

The story itself was really interesting! You can predict some of the mystery, but it's still fun to watch everything unfold. The book's name really became apparent near the end, which surprised me!

Great read to get back into reading <3.

My Favorite Quote(s):

“I suppose everyone leaves in the end, don’t they? But not you, sister. Promise we’ll always have each other.”

Instead, he took hold of both her hands, drawing her closer to him. "Miss Blackwood, I find you many things - brave, remarkable, enchanting - but strange isn't one of them.”
