Book Description:
My name’s River, and I’m a dream killer. The Sea of Dreams spat me out without any memories of who was or where I came from. I’ve spent years traveling Dreamland in our gypsy caravan, searching for clues. All I’ve discovered is that the all-powerful elders are collecting people like me—Dreamlanders who don’t fit in. Then I met a man who sails the Sea of Dreams, the one place all Dreamlanders fear. One touch of those ocean waves could shred the soul. Yet, he’s like me. He can hear the water’s whispers, touch her waves, and watch her dreams. My answers are out there—on his ship, on that sea. Somewhere out there is the graveyard of dreams.

Book Length: Novella/25,000 words
Book Description: 
Detective Paige Whiskey comes from a long line of witches. They may not all be the most powerful, but they are outspoken and supportive of their community. She alone has no gifts. She can’t summon fire, can’t read minds. She knows the arcane. She’s studied it. That, along with her connection to the Whiskey Witches, lands her some pretty strange cases. Like the sacrificial murders of St. Francisville, Louisiana. There’s a killer on the loose, choosing people in a vain attempt to raise a demon. Once she gets there, she realizes the murders were nothing more than an elaborate invitation, tempting her into the claws of the killer. She does have a gift, a very powerful and terrifying one. The killer is after her.

PARDON THE RAVENS

“As good as the best offerings of Turow, Grisham, and other legal-thriller hitmakers.”

—Booklist, on Wrong Man Running

“Hruska manages to create a world flecked with a little magic, while also delivering a tender and truthful examination of what it is to have and seek connection with a human soul…I left with a renewed faith in the existence of true talent.”

—Backstage Pass starred review of The Man on Her Mind

My Thoughts

Pardon the Ravens is a legal thriller with young lawyer, Alec Brno working on a fraud case that could make his career. He meets Carrie Maddigan, wife of Phil Anwar who is a mob boss of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Long Island. Carrie is a battered woman, by her husband, with a young daughter who is in the custody of her father. Carrie has a drug problem, perpetuated by her husband, but he is trying to get clean and stay clean so she can get her daughter back and when she meets Alec there is an immediate attraction. As Alec gets more involved with Carrie he finds that their lives are not safe from the sadistic husband. They say, you can run but you can't hide as this young couple finds out.

The case that Alec is working on involves the clients of Kendall, Blake, the law firm that Alec works for, and they are the owners of a corporation that has lost great sums of money and are involved in a class-action suit that could be detrimental to business. A storage facility with tankers that should be loaded with oil are full of water instead. This case and the mob are intertwined and nothing is as it seems. This is a legal thriller at it's best. The writing style pulled me in and had me eagerly turning the pages. This is definitely a story about good guys and bad guys with an element of romance that should please the reader. I loved it!

I received this book for review and was not monetarily compensated for said review.
