Really enjoyable start to this new UF series. Great characters and interesting plot.
Raven’s Moon is the first book in Raven Tales, the new Urban Fantasy series from JB Dane. The book is set in modern day Detroit and features an interesting array of supernatural beings. There is no romance in this book.
JB Dane’s easy to read and humourous writing style drew me in from the start. She created characters which differ from the usual UF tropes, have depth, flaws and a few attitude problems. The world building and supernatural elements are well crafted and I was easily drawn into this story.
Bram Farrell is the fictional star in author, Calista Amberson’s best selling series about The Raven, an investigator known for taking down the seedier elements of the supernatural community. Fictional only until Calista decides to pull him, without warning, from the world of her imagination into her own world. Turns out that Calista is not only a famous bestselling author, she is also a witch, well known in the real supernatural community.
Everyone in the supernatural community felt his arrival and all of them want to know why he is here.
Calista may have her own reasons for summoning her mind’s famous PI but it seems that the supernatural community also have a use for him; the two missions he is presented with might just collide and there’s no guarantee that Bram will survive intact from the chaos which ensues. He’s neither supernatural nor human. What he is remains to be seen.
I really enjoyed this book. For quite some time I was questioning whether Bram had really been pulled into the mundane or whether he was living his new adventure in Calista’s imagination. The story is well written, not full of predictable elements and alongside the usual witches and vampires, has some supernaturals not often found in the UF books I’ve read before.
I’d definitely recommend reading it and I’m looking forward to diving into more work from this author.
