The Ravenswood Witch by Jenni Keer (2024) BLOG TOUR

 

The Ravenswood Witch

‘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.

The Ravenswood Witch is the best gothic historical romance that I have read in a long while.

It is steeped in dark magic and superstition. The ominous atmosphere slowly builds in intensity in the first half of the book followed by plenty of turns and revelations keeping me hooked and guessing.

 I loved the chilling atmosphere with the isolated manor, eerie woods, and a sense of impending doom. 

I was as unsure as Luna was in knowing who to trust but I had high hopes that Marcus would be as nice as he appears. The question of the whereabouts of his missing wife was a nagging point against him and I couldn't help but be reminded of Mr Rochester's crazy wife in the attic especially after Luna's bed was set on fire.

This gothic tale of secrets and suspense will appeal to fans of gothic fiction and historical mysteries.
