Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Smith deftly brings Jess and her fellow Ravens to life and ramps up the violence to a fever pitch at the climax. This tale, though not for the faint at heart, is certain to please young horror fans.” —Publishers Weekly
“Smith continues to display a deft mastery of world-building and creepy, atmospheric plotting. A gripping tale enhanced by a convincingly detailed setting and drawing on classic fantasy memes.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Narrator Colleen Prendergast’s steady performance allows young listeners to get caught up in the magical adventures of thirteen-year-old ‘mesmerist’ Jessamine…As Jess encounters faeries, werewolves, and other scary creatures, narrator Prendergast sounds astonished by it all; the wonder in her voice keeps the story from being scary. Jess battles evil with the help of some supernatural friends, and Prendergast’s reading shows how dauntless and brave she is.” —AudioFile
