I ended up really enjoying this and burned through it in just a couple days.  I like stories of university, secret societies, and magic so this was right up my alley.  Some good twists and turns as well as some neat things done with magic, I'm already looking forward to the sequel.  While I liked all the strong female friendships presented, none of the romances really did much for me so I was ok with them being on the sidelines for the most part.  A fun, fast paced read that was just what I was in the mood for.

Such an interesting new read from two great authors! A little predicatble but enjoyable nontheless. Will recommend.

I knew I had to read this book as soon as I saw it, it’s about witches! I was not disappointed with this, it had the right amount of darkness and fun to it for a YA book- nothing too dark but not jokey either. I really really enjoyed this book! I can’t wait for the next one,

This book is everything I thought I needed and more. I adored the college setting, the character diversity, and the interwoven plot of witches, relationships, and the depiction of guilt. I cannot wait to read the second book, which I am so grateful for the arc from Netgalley. This review would not have happened if it wasn't for Netgalley.

I was so looking forward to this one and I'm happy to say that it lived up to my expectations! Overall, I felt like it had a very early-00s paranormal vibe that I really enjoyed. I loved the backdrop of a sorority at a southern college and can't wait to see what comes next for these sisters!

This was a fun, quick read---a sorority of witches made for a great read.   I'm looking forward to the second book in this duology.

I absolutely LOVED this book. I’d recommend it to people who loved AHS: Coven. The audiobook is great as well. Thank you to Netgalley for letting me read this book in advance in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this book! To be truthful while I am familiar with both authors I never have read anything by either one. Sure , I had some or their books saved on my Kindle in my TBR list and some books listed on my for later shelf at the library but never took the time to read any of them... until now and I am so glad I did.

The Ravens is a split narrative of Vivi and Scarlet. Scarlet is one of the Ravens, a coven of witches disguised as a Sorority and in line for future president. Vivi is a new college student who joins the sorority and later discovers she also is a witch.

Of course no Young Adult fantasy drama would be complete without its share of drama, girl 'rivalry' , and magic and The Ravens does not let the reader down. From the 'love triangle' of Vivi,Scarlet, and Mason to the 'who is after the Ravens' plot the book holds its own. Someone is threatening the Ravens, someone from the Ravens past returns and one of them ends up missing . It is up to Scarlet and Vivi to join with the rest of the Ravens to find out who is behind it all.

Honestly I really liked this book and eagerly look forward to the sequel. I loved how detailed the characters are and would love to see more of the Ravens powers. It would be nice to have more stories of the other Ravens too. Until next time!

The house of Kappa Rho Nu is the home of The Ravens, a group of sorority girls, who also so happen to be a coven of witches. Hopeful pledge Vivi, has never stayed in one place long enough to feel like she belongs, but hopes that she's finally found a new home. Scarlett is part of a legacy family and wants nothing more than to become the new president of Kappa. But, she is hiding a big secret that may threaten her position in the house if anyone finds out.

I absolutely adore witches, so I was so excited when I heard about this book. Not to mention, the cover is gorgeous. There is a bit of an info-dump at the beginning of the story, but as it progressed it was hard to put down. It's very fast-paced and fun to read. It's told in alternating perspectives between Vivi and Scarlett, which was an interesting way to tell the story. I loved trying to figure out the mystery of what happened in the sorority and who was responsible for what. The biggest complaint I had was one of the romances, it felt forced and unnecessary and honestly the love interest was just so bland and boring. It also definitely didn't feel as though this was set in college, more high school in my opinion, but it was still super entertaining and a very quick read!

Love the authors and will happily give this book to certain patrons who I know will enjoy it. Found it a bit too common for my tastes... I wanted something a bit more unique personally. But I can see many teen readers enjoying this!

The cover and blurb made it seem like The Ravens would be awesome... Sadly it wasn't. I'm pretty bummed because I was so looking forward to this book

I was so looking forward to The Ravens, a witch story set in Savannah?? Yes, please. Unfortunately it didn't grab me as much as I hoped. This is a DNF for now, I'm hoping I'll be able to pick it up again at a later date!

Vivi Deveraux wants to leave her vagabond lifestyle and mother for a chance to have a clean slate. Being accepted to Westerly College may just be the chance she has been waiting for and rushing Kappa Rho Nu may give her the portal to her past she never expected to need. The Ravens is Sabrina's witchcraft and sisterhood  mixed with Pretty Little Liars drama. Paige brings the deep loyalties asked of sororities and the dangers of untrained magic to the college campus. The two main protagonists are flawed and strong but do lack some depth in history. While the plot does absorb readers into the power and drama, the characters lack a concrete foundation. Paige superficially explains the mother daughter dynamics between Scarlet and the women in her immediate family. exploring this dynamic could have added depth to the overall arch and been a powerful theme. One theme I struggle against is the relationship trope that seems to always overtake YA literature. Paige did a great job in displaying sisterhood and maturity, giving an ok balance of relationship between the sisters and male relationships (although I wish it was slightly skewed to the sister side).

Man oh man, do I wish I could go back, apply to Westerly, and become a Raven! I had so much fun reading this book, and Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige did an excellent job writing it. 

This book takes place in Savannah, GA, where Vivi is ready to separate herself from her phony tarot reading mother and finally make some real friends and start her life at Westerly. Once she arrives, she attends the welcome party of the most exclusive sorority on campus, and quickly learns that there is much more to this group of amazing girls than meets the eye: they're witches. And if she's lucky, Vivi will get to join them and not only have real friends for the first time, but harness a power that she has never known about. 

Scarlett, a junior at Westerly, is a Raven and witch. She comes from a long line of Ravens, and she hopes to be next year's president. Her life is pretty amazing--she's got the most gorgeous boyfriend on campus, she shares a room with her best friend, and has magical power all her own. But when an old enemy makes herself known and turns Scarlett's life upside down, Scarlett will need the help of all of her sisters to fight the darkness. 

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. I had so much fun reading it. The characters were really well crafted, and the setting was marvelous. This is definitely what I would call YA-candy, but those are some of my very favorite books. I know so many teens who will love this and I can't wait to get it into their hands. I am so excited about this one!

A witch book set in a Savannah college?! I was instantly intrigued when I first heard about this book but I think maybe I over hyped it in my brain. It definitely wasn't bad but, to me, it read a little like a soapy teen drama and I think I was hoping for something a little edgier.

The concept for this book caught my attention immediately as it had promise to be very entertaining. For the most part it was! It did come across as a bit high school rather than university, and the two male characters seemed interchangeable. Now that the groundwork has been laid it’ll be interesting to see where the next book goes,

I was really hoping for more atmosphere, or more magic, or both. It did inspire me to re-watch "the craft" mid-read, which actually, somehow, lent the book a bit of nostalgic charm.

***2 Stars***

The cover was the lure and the blurb was the hook. The idea of a group of witches using a sorority as a cover for their coven definitely appealed to me. And while there were aspects and characters that I did like and enjoy, in the end this book just didn’t capture me the way I’d hoped it would. 

Scarlett: She may have been the stereotypical sorority girl, but she did evolve and grow as the book progressed and I found that I really liked her in the end . I thought that the way the authors used the Tarot was quite interesting and I really enjoyed getting to experience the friendships between the girls. BUT...I know the dreaded “but” everything else was just OK ~ and that includes Vivi, Mason and the romance part of the story. I just didn’t really care about any of that.

I really do wish that I had enjoyed this book more. It had the potential to be a fav, but just fell short of the mark for me.

Not my usual read, but it was good for maybe a younger YA. The ending definitely threw me so that was a good surprise.

This was an engaging book! I love to see a book set in a college environment, which it doesn't feel like happens very frequently. I enjoyed how different the two POV characters were, so it was easy to tell them apart. I did feel like the pacing was off a little, and the two main characters did sometimes have pretty extreme moon swings but they are teens, haha. :) The mystery snagged me from the beginning, and I would!d read the next book in the series for sure.
