4.5/5 stars - To Be Released in January 2021.
Thank you NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Children's Book Group for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

The Ravens takes place at Westerly College, a Southern college campus in Savannah, Georgia. Kappa Nu Rho is the smallest, and most exclusive, sorority on campus. And for good reason - if you want a bid, you better be a witch. This novel rotates between the perspective of freshman Vivi and junior Scarlett. Vivi has no idea she is a witch and attends Westerly against the wishes of her mother. Scarlett comes from a family of Kappa and Westerly alum and is under pressure from her family to become the next Kappa president. The junior pledge class of Kappa has a dark secret, one that will turn all of the Kappa's world upside down.

This book was a lot of fun to read and kept you on toes. There were a lot of twists, turns, and revelations you won't see coming, even if you think you know what's about to happen. The Southern atmosphere lends to the mystery that unfolds as we learn more about the coven's past. There are a lot of fun pop culture references and I also enjoyed seeing many of Georgia's iconic locations coming into play. The writers do a great job blending the lifestyle of being a member of Greek life in with the bond and power the sisters have of being part of a coven. Any one who enjoys mysteries, books involving witches (duh), and/or stories of friendships and the strengths and hardships that come with it will enjoy The Ravens.

What a fun and refreshingly new tale involving modern day witches! What a way to hide coven - in a sorority. It takes hell week to another level! The novel alternates between 2 narrators. One is the Raven sorority President hopeful, Scarlett, who has dark secrets in her past which may prevent her her candidacy. Next is college bound Vivi, who has no idea she's real witch after years of calling her mother a fraud for reading the cards. The two characters are paired together as Big and Little as they uncover secrets and magic surrounding the sorority. The Ravens is a light and fun read. There's a lot of character building in this story. I'm looking forward to seeing where book 2 takes all these characters.
