Ravenous Innocence by Myra Danvers

5.0

This book was recommended to me by some of my favorite dark romance authors, so I was expecting a dark, twisted romance. That isn't exactly what I got, but I can see it happening in the future. This is the beginning of what I'm guessing is going to be an incredible series. The characters are dark and twisted, there are a lot of unknowns still, and I was surprised by many of the events in the plot. I read a lot, so surprising me isn't something all authors can do, and for a debut story to have my head continuously spinning is saying something. The writing is superb, the world building is absolutely breathtaking, and the flow of the story is fast, but it doesn't feel rushed. The story unfolds as the characters live the events, making the reader feel like they are living it more than reading it. It also adds to the surprises and kept me from guessing what was going to happen next.
I'm torn about how I feel about Asher right now, but Mila is one of those determined, slightly broken, a**-kicking females that I love so much. She is just beginning to come into her own in this one, but I can see her taking over the world in the near future. I'm sure that's not where the story is going, but she isn't a pushover by any means. There are also some support characters who I'm curious to see how much of an impact they will have on the story.
The tale is more of an urban fantasy than a romance at this point, but I am excited to see where it goes from here. I'll be looking for the next book, and counting down the days until it's released.
