Vivi has never lived anywhere long enough to make friends. Her Mother up and moves their life everytime her tarot cards show danger on the horizon. But finally she is free, about to start her first semester at Westerly College. She finds herself pledging to be apart of The Ravens, but she has no idea that these aren't just regular sorority girls, they're witches. 

The Ravens is absolutely dripping in witchy shenanigans and girl power. I was just singing "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves' in my head whilst reading. This was just the fun, and engaging read I needed, and once I hit the halfway point, I couldn't read it fast enough. 

Vivi Devereaux and Scarlett Winter (now those are some badass witch names) are the two perspectives we switch between in the book. I often find with YA that a lot of the characters can feel a bit samey, but these two girls couldn't be more different. I really loved the contrasting driving forces to both of the narratives, and how their stories came together. 

If you love magic academic settings, then you need to add this to your reading list immediately. There's a sequel out early next year called The Monarchs, and I am dying to get my hands on it. I recommend reading this with your own coven,  chatting about this one with @littleredlibrary and @bristolianbooks made the experience even more fun. 

Thanks so much to Hodder for the gifted copy of this one ๐Ÿงก
