The Raven’s Child by Thomas E. Sniegoski
Published by InkLit
Retail Price: $19.95
This was an easy read, not that is wasn’t good mind you. It was. I really got pulled into the story fairly quickly and enjoyed it very much. It is just geared toward the YA crowd, but adults will enjoy it as well. Nice to see a strong, young female lead. There is violence in this throughout (it is about saving the world from evil alien conquerors after all). You will be rooting for the Raven’s Child and the human race by the end of the book.
Book Description:
Entrancing audiences with his exploration of the Batman universe, Thomas Sniegoski has also thrilled fans with his Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics, and uncovered the paranormal with his Hellboy spin-off series, B.R.P.D.
Now, InkLit is excited to invite you into a mesmerizing dark world with THE RAVEN’S CHILD (InkLit Trade Paperback; $19.95; August 4, 2015). When the Throng came, the human race never stood a chance. The monsters were simply too strong and numerous—it only took a few months for them to take over and leave the few poor souls who survived cowering in terror for years to come.
But legend speaks of a dark goddess known as the Raven’s Child, the only one destined to destroy the Throng and free those under their cruel power. Whoever wields this name and image can become the bane of the Throng, striking fear in their hearts, and a true inspiration to humankind.
Even though Carissa’s just a young girl, she must now vow to reclaim the world for the human race…no matter what the cost.
