The Ravenswood Witch by new to me author Jenni Keer, published by Boldwood Press is an historical fiction I fell in insta love with. Characters and story are fantastic, just like the excellent writing, 5 stars.

Couldn't put it down! Its gothic with lots of suspense and mystery, it keeps you on your toes and makes you gasp at moments.
It's the perfect book to read in Autumn.
Jenni's writing style is great, if you have read her previous books then you will love 'The Ravenswood Witch'

BLURB:
The year is 1885 and a young woman is on the run, knowing if she’s caught, she’ll be hanged for murder. Moments from a safe haven, she collides with a gruff stranger, falling and breaking her ankle.

To her surprise, the man – Marcus Greybourne – convinces the local constable that she is his reclusive wife of ten years, Luna. He carries her back to the neglected and crumbling Ravenswood Hall, promising if she agrees to maintain this charade, he will keep her safe until her injuries have healed.

But the house is haunted by shadows and secrets. What’s more, the real Luna Greybourne is missing, without trace. Scratches and marks made by her around the house suggest witchcraft; and indeed Luna is known locally as the Ravenswood Witch; her reputation in tatters, like the wallpapers of the padlocked rooms she’d destroyed.

As strange happenings in the house continue, outside the screech of a raven echoes across oppressive woods that seem alive with dark magic. And the woman who is now pretending to be Luna can’t help but fear she’s escaped the noose for a far more terrible fate…

This book has echoes of Jane Eyre and Rebecca, which I absolutely loved. With its gothic atmosphere along with mystery and suspense, there was a lot happening that really pulled you into the story. The action takes off right from the start, which helped to really drive my interest into the story. I will say that there were a lot of errors and the writing could use some refining overall.

This was a very engrossing book which had echoes of Jane Eyre and Rebecca which are two of my favourite books
It was gothic with lots of mystery and suspense which lead to a dark atmosphere
The writing style flowed well which kept me reading and found the pages turning very quickly
From page one we are straight into the story and the mystery which made it hard to put down
I really enjoyed this

The Ravenswood Witch by Jenni Keer.
Omg. Absolutely brilliant read. I loved the cover. I got into it straight away. I did like Marcus and Luna. I didn't like Hilda. I did like the Webbers. Cleverly written. I loved the writing style. Very creative and unusual. I read this in two sittings. I did have a few ahh moments where things clicked in my head. I did like the ending. 5*.
