Beauty and The Beast. Hated and feared, magic was banished from the land. But now, freed from the spells of the wicked bloodmages, magic-both good and evil-returns. And Aren of Fallbrook feels her own power of sight strengthen and grow…. Overcome by visions of mayhem and murder, Aren vows to save her village from the ruthless raiders who have descended upon it-and killed her family. With the return of wildlings to the hills and forests, she strikes a bargain with the Hob, a magical, human-like creature imbued with the power of the mountains.

Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack…and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she’d learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country will recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.

Equally dangerous are the competing factions of The Pack - a highly organized and military clan who governs Atlanta's were-bears, -wolves, and -hyenas - versus the Masters of the Dead, power and knowledge-hungry necromancers whose minds control hordes of blood-crazed vampires.

I’m one placement away from becoming a fully fledged London detective. It’s bad enough that my last assignment before I qualify is with Supernatural Squad. But that’s nothing compared to what happens next. Brutally murdered by an unknown assailant, I wake up 12 hours later in the morgue - and I’m very much alive. I don’t know how or why it happened. I don’t know who killed me. All I know is that they might try again.

I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already...until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence. In an invitation. My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive. If he doesn't go, our entire family will be killed. It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago - the same place where he mysteriously died.

On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight.

Critic Reviews
"Raven’s Shadow is an excellent book.... The characters have a real interior life, with thoughts and second thoughts and feelings and the interaction between them is very good." (SF Revu)
"Patricia Briggs is a talented storyteller who enchants her audience with a spellbinding tale. Raven’s Shadow is going on this reviewer’s keeper shelf." (Midwest Book Review)
"Raven’s Shadow is an exciting and touching tale. It’s self-contained enough to give the reader a satisfying sense of completion by the end, while leaving room for a sequel that will be highly anticipated." (RT Book Reviews)

This wasn't bad but it didn't really engage me
Unlike the Mercy Thompson books this just didn't thrill me. The parts ere there but it wasn't working for me. I think some of that was due to the long info dump at the beginning where we were fast tracked through the relationship between Raven and Tier so we could get to where the action started.

Book 1 of 2. Wishing for 3!
Fabulous narration. Top notch! As for the story, this is book one of two, a short fantasy series with wizards, elemental gods, specially gifted "Travelers" and some romance. I really bonded with the characters introduced in this book. They became real to me across the two books. Wish Briggs would write another book, making a trilogy of it. I want to see more of Seraph, Tier, Jes, Hennea, Lehr, Rinnie, Emperor Phoran the 26/27th, and his two loyal guards. I even loved the big black dog and the old war horse.
Heartwarming, engrossing, and fairly novel. Some grim scenes. Some black magic. Some bardic storytelling, song, and campfire camaraderie, to balance the darker bits.
My only gripe is that sometimes the author goes on too long, trying to explain how her magic works, what the "orders" are, who the gods are, etc. But that happens more in book 2 than in this book.

Slow Start - Entertaining
Where does Raven's Shadow rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In a list of a top 10, it doesn't rank
What did you like best about this story?
It starts to become interesting when the resolution to the problem begins (trying not to give anything away)
What does Jennifer James Bradshaw bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
As with any narrator, you get to sit back and enjoy the story - just like it better then reading
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
??
Any additional comments?
Patricia Briggs spent too much time establishing the premise of the story in the beginning and it was hard to stay interested. Especially when establishing the bad relationship between Seraph and her husband's sister, considering it has no bearing on the actual story. If she couldn't gotten faster to the part of the shadowed priest and have gone from there it would've been better.

Good but newer stories much better
I love Patricia Briggs books, so when I came across this I had to give it a try, as always I lover her stories but this one wasn’t as exciting and didn’t capture me as some of her more recent books have. It still is good so give it a whirl.

It took me a while to decided to read this book. For some reason the description didn't appeal to me. But since I really love all her other books so much I decided to give it a try. And I have no regret! Well apart from not having bought it before now.

Surprisingly good
I love Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson and Alpha and Omega series. While waiting for the next book to come out in those series, I decided to try some of her earlier work. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good these stories were. Early books are not always quite as good as an author's books after they get some experience. It's a learning and maybe even refining process. This Duology however, Raven's Shadow and Raven's Strike had a great story, incredible characters and world building. Then you add a really good narrator. Jennifer James Bradshaw did a really good job and every character was well and truly done and totally distinguishable from the others. I really enjoyed this Duology and plan on reading/listening to all her earlier books now.

I read this book several years ago and enjoyed it so thought I'd buy the audiobook. It was worth it for this classic style fantasy written with Patricia Briggs skill in developing characters. Jennifer James Bradshaw did a good job on the narration.
