A review by katiya
Burned by Sarah Hualde
4.0
From the opening page, I knew I'd have trouble leaving a review. Burned is as explosive as its title and it isn't easy to convey all the brilliant parts without spoiling it for a new reader. With that in mind, I will attempt to dissect this book without giving away any of the things that make it so special.
As the story unfolds, Penny is rolling into Billington to attend an appointment with her former child advocate who handle her case when she was in care. Penny reveals to us that she's sceptical that she'll get the answers she needs as the woman is acerbic and usually uncooperative. The meeting is cut short when the woman abruptly leaves the interview, runs out the door and dies in the street. It appears that the Raven has struck again.
And, wow, that's only the beginning of the excitement. It just builds and builds. As always, Penny has TC for encouragement and the assistance of a new friend or two. Penny is her usual caring selfless spirit while the Raven wreaks the destruction we've come to expect. I enjoy this series for the colossal entertainment value that each book holds - when I'm reading one of Sarah Hualde's stories, people know not to disturb me!
Highly recommended as a splendid paranormal almost cosy.
