Saving Raven
Ratings1
Average rating4
I just finished this enchanting supernatural romance, and while it had promising elements, it left me with mixed feelings!🦋 Set in the mysterious town of Erie Cove, where a dark cloud perpetually hangs over the supernatural community, this story started with such promise.
The beginning truly captivated me - Cayden, a half-blooded winged siren reluctantly performing at his family's quirky café, the Mummy's Tomb (such a fun name!), meets Raven, a young woman battling a rare blood disease. Their initial connection felt genuine and compelling. 💫
What worked well was how Sibarium wove together supernatural elements with real human struggles. The way Raven deals with her chronic illness while discovering love for the first time felt authentic, and Cayden's protective nature and inner conflict about his siren heritage made him an interesting character. 🎵
However, the story's pacing became an issue in the last quarter. What started as a beautifully crafted romance began to feel rushed, particularly when introducing the more intimate elements. The transition felt somewhat forced, as if these scenes were added more out of obligation than organic story development.
The small-town supernatural vibes and charming touches (like the uniquely named menu items) showed potential, but the hasty conclusion left me wanting more development.
What you'll find:
- 🦋 Small town supernatural romance with promise
- 🎵 An interesting winged siren hero
- 💝 Never-been-kissed heroine
- ✨ Representation of chronic illness
- ⚡ Strong start but rushed ending
This enchanting novella earns four stars for its unique supernatural world and heartfelt romance. Though the story captivates with its magical elements and tender moments, a slightly hurried conclusion leaves room for what could have been an even richer tale.
