- The Ravenswood Witch by Jenni Keer : Review
‘There are a lot of shadows at Ravenswood, so you will need to
be strong…’
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…
A completely
compelling and unforgettable historical bookclub read – fans of Jane
Eyre, Weyward and The Binding will be utterly spellbound.
