The Last Raven is about Emelia, the human daughter of two vampire leaders. She has been isolated for most of her life to keep her safe, but when she is able to venture out into the world with her new bodyguard, she starts to learn that her world isn't what she always thought it was and rebellion is brewing.

Holy guacamole, I was not expecting most of what happened from the 3rd act until the end. It was so painful and then so satisfying. Got to love fast acting karma. I am curious about where this is headed.

Thanks to Harper Collins UK - One More Chapter and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

The Last Raven by Helen Glynn Jones is sure to become your next fantasy obsession. It is truly amazing! Helen Glynn Jones, you have captivated me and I eagerly anticipate the next installment.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this arc. This book was nowhere near Twilight, I don't know why it's even compared to it. Ignoring that though, I really enjoyed this book. Its a story about a human girl born to vampire parents who spent her young life being sheltered. There is a lot of intrigue and betrayal. I think it's a great read. I read it in one day.

I want to start by saying thank you to Netgalley and One More Chapter for the e-ARC copy of the book.

I was initially intrigued by the plot and premise of this book, as it’s been advertised as a romance that Twilight fans would love. But it did not live up to the expectations that I had for it. The world-building element felt very lost in this book. It was characters essentially in a modern-day Earth age (skinny jeans, laptops, phones, etc.) instead of a vampire kingdom.

I also felt that the plot was lacking some depth and didn’t make a lot of sense at times. Her father is supposed to be hundreds of years old, yet a 17-year-old is an heir. I could keep going on with the things I caught in this book.

Overall, it’s not one I recommend and I feel that it was missing a lot of crucial elements to really be a true romantasy book.

From the blurb I though I was really going to enjoy this book, especially with it being compared to Twilight. Unfortunately, "The Last Raven" wasn't a great fit me. I wasn't a fan of the writing style or direction the story took and I also felt like some of the plot points just didn't add up or make sense to me.
I probably wouldn't read any further books in this series.

Thank you Helen Glynn Jones, Net Galley and One More Chapter for providing me with an ARC of this book.
