Book Review: Chased by the Crows' Call

 


Harlow


Falston, a farm town in the middle of nowhere, is now my new home. Sure, I can restore books from anywhere, but did my parents really need to buy a homestead surrounded by miles and miles of corn? One perk is the acres of land perfect for stretching my furry black legs. Oh, did I forget to mention I’m a shifter? Black cat, to be exact. And when my feline eyes catch sight of two of Falston’s most intriguing—and dangerously sexy—residents, I realize this town’s secrets run deeper than its roots.

Bale

Not all scarecrows have straw for brains. Some of us are snarky, recklessly handsome… and lethal under a full moon. Falston's annual corn maze chase takes place in my fields, and is the only thing that keeps me alive year after year. But when a little black kitty slips into my rows, I’ll have to decide if she’s worth saving—or if she’ll become just another victim of the hunt.

Corbin

The Council clipped my wings when they cursed me, binding me to an eternity in Falston and shackling me with its secrets. I know the truth about the town’s annual corn maze no one makes it out alive. But when I meet Harlow, the dangers lurking between those rows will only take a darker turn. In the end, the call of the crow may be her only chance at survival.

This book is intended for mature audiences 18+ years. Please check the trigger and content warnings on the author's website.

Chased by the Crows' Call is a standalone in the Red Brick Road series, to be interconnected with three other future stories in the same universe. It can be read as part of the series or by itself.


\My Review

I f9und the story to have a steady flow to it. It kept an even pacing throughout the whole story. Like the guys, Bale and Corbin, I was drawn to Harlow and the mystery surrounding her.

The sparks between them all was a bit of a slow burn romance. The moments while not overly spicy was still steamy good. For me, it was actually the world that the author built for this story that I really liked the most. 

"If it scares you once, listen. If it scares you twice, find out why."

The vibe of the story got me really into the Halloween mood. I was looking for a dark but steamy and spooky read and this book did it for me. I look forward to continuing this series.
