Ravens R & G

Ravens

By George Dawes Green

The Boatwrights just won 318 million dollars in the Georgia State lottery. It's going to be the worst day of their lives.

When Shaw McBride and Romeo Zderko pull up at a convenience store off I-95 in Georgia, their only thought is to fix a leaky tire and be on their way again to Florida-away from their dull Ohio tech-support jobs. But this happens to be the store from which a 318,000,000 million dollar Jackpot ticket has just been sold -- and when a pretty clerk accidentally reveals to Shaw the identity of the winning family, he hatches a ferociously audacious scheme: He and Romeo will squeeze the family for half their prize.

That night, he visits the Boatwright home and takes the family hostage, while Romeo patrols the streets nearby, prepared to murder the Boatwrights' loved ones at any sign of resistance. At first, the family offers none. But Shaw's plot depends on maintaining constant fear-merciless, unfaltering terror-and soon, under the pressure, everyone's sanity begins to unravel . . .

At once frightening, comic, and suspenseful, RAVENS is a wholly original and utterly compelling novel from one of our most talented writers.

Ravens took me forever to read, due to real life getting in the way {when doesn't that happen!}. Once I finally got to sit down and read the other day though, I finished the last 3/4 in no time. I think it was a great read. I didn't want to put it down, I just had to know what was going to happen next. It was a great story about love, betrayal and fear. The bad guys actually had me rooting for them at the end! I know right, what's wrong with me?! So, given what I just said, I didn't like the ending because I got so caught up in another aspect of the story, therefore wanting it to end a little different. But..... overall it was a great read. Like I said, one that I couldn't put down. I literally read it in like a day and a half, so that kind of speaks for itself.

Ravens is available for $16.49 on Amazon.com
