Raven’s Peak by Lincoln Cole is a C/T/M/H book about supernatural hunters and demons of the modern world. The author breaks the book down into sections (not section 1, section 2,...). The first section leads the reader from the prologue through chapters 1-9 describing Abigail’s previous hunt before pausing the story to provide an interlude which describes the attention the town in the title needs from Abigail. After the interlude, the author leads back into the story with chapters 10-18 and the epilogue describing what Abigail needs to do to rid of the demon . The end of the story leaves the reader ready to read the next book.
I rate this book 3 out of 4. The book is actually a 3.5 because it captured my attention from the beginning and held it throughout the book. It’s not a 4 because I did notice some grammatical errors that did little to interrupt the flow, but I noticed them because I was brought away from the book briefly and went back a paragraph or so to make sure I didn’t read ahead. I also noticed a change of names in the book of minor characters, so it didn’t draw away from the story.
This book caught my attention because I have always liked books about the supernatural. The book also reminded me of another book I read a long time ago about demon hunters and I figured I would give it a try. As said before, the author has a way with words and was able to keep me captivated with the story line. The author has me so captivated that I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series and possibly writing a review for it as well.
This book may not appeal to those who don’t believe in the supernatural because it’s not a “real” thing. The topic to which this book was written makes you question reality to an extent because we are told that the supernatural creatures do not exist, but the book makes the supernatural come to life. I know the book is fictional, but there are people out there who make believe anything they read.
From the beginning, the author had my attention. I especially like that he doesn’t just use one ethnicity, but multiple ethnicities including African-American and Indians (people from India). The reader is told how the Council (made up of various people who help keep the supernatural under control) contains multiple ethnicities and is somewhat international with a Council member being from India..
With the exception of the minor grammatical and name changes within the story, I can’t say anything else about disliking the book. I am eager to read the next book in the series.
