Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia
4.0

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my review.

I will admit--I was unaware that this was an updated story from one of the Teen Titans tv show. That should have been obvious from the title, but then again I was not of the age group who would have seen the TV show while it was on TV.

This is a really cool storyline. Raven is a teen who is a tragic car accident in which her mother dies. She then goes to New Orleans to live with her aunt and cousin, both of whom she barely knows. Suffering from short term memory loss, Raven starts to have other odd things happen to her. She doesn't know if they are normal, or as a result of the accident.

Throw in the elements of New Orleans Voodoo, and you know there is a good story.

The illustration is great, and I especially love Raven's ?spirit shadow? that shows up. The ARC is not a full color copy, but truthfully, I really loved it that way. But based on what I've seen, the final copy is going to be amazing.
