The Ravens
by Kass Morgan, Danielle Paige
Witches, sorority sisters, secrets, and betrayals. Kappa Rho Nu isn’t your regular sorority... in fact its a secret and elite coven for witches. Vivi Deveraux has been running all her life, but after receiving a full scholarship to Westerly College, this is her chance to finally settle down. Scarlett Winters is a legacy, she is a witch, and she is set to be the president of Kappa Rho Nu. Everything in Scarlett’s life has been planned, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect future, and the perfect coven.... until dark secrets from the past threaten to tear it all down. Vivi doesn’t realize that she is a witch and when she attends the Kappa Rho Nu recruiting event... she surprisingly gets in and is soon opened to a world of magic and sisterhood... too bad shes starting to fall for her big’s boyfriend. Scarlett is trying to maintain a unified and powerful coven, she wants to make her chapter the best one yet... except she’s dealing with guilt from mistakes that might destroy her. It doesn’t help that there is an irritating boy who just keeps egging her on. Scarlett and Vivi get off on the wrong foot, but they’ll have to find a way to work together to stop a more sinister evil that is killing off their sisters. I’m sorry to say that this book was really lacking for me, no matter how hard I tried to get into it, I just wasn’t as invested as I had originally hoped. The premise was interesting and I was so excited for this book but it just didn’t live up to expectations. The story is told from alternating POVS between Vivi and Scarlett. For the life of me I couldn’t like Vivi, she was so bland and boring and seriously, going after a guy who already has a girlfriend? classy. Though to be fair I disliked Mason (Scarlett’s boyfriend just as much) he is a senior who has been in a relationship with Scarlett for years and suddenly decides to dump her for a freshman he’s talked to a few times??? Scarlett deserved better anyways. On the other hand Scarlett and Jackson were my favorite parts about this book, she was the only reason I was able to slog through this book. Scarlett is ambitious, caring, and just an overall interesting character. I loved her dynamic with Jackson, and he was just a much better fit for her (and an overall more interesting character than even Vivi). He was funny, charismatic, and just charming. The whole mystery thing took a bit to start up but the overall ending was okay. It ends off at a point where this could be a standalone (but I would definitely read the next book just to get more Scarlett and Jackson). This is the first book in a duology so I am curious where the next book will go and wrap up.
