Black Satin Blog Tour give@way


"It has been said that a Raven  created the world and that a Raven will be the one to destroy it, not from hate,but from the very thing from witch the world was created. Love
Love is the ravenbirds's greatest weakness,and also its greatest strength.
When the ravenbird loves, he loves deeply, immensely, intensely, irrevocably."






What if you weren’t who you thought you were?

What if your whole life changed in an instant and you were released to a new identity?

What if you were forced to kill the one you love?

What if everything you knew wasn’t real, and you awaken to a new world?

What if love could take you to unknown places? How beautiful is death really?



My Review

4 out of 5 stars

Well as always Rae has managed to create a beautiful world I totally get lost in. Her writing leaves a feeling of dark and beautiful. With the second book in the Pretty in black series I have come to like all the characters a bit more. Ellie is funny and very inquisitive, never keeps her mouth shut for no one. She is intense and that intensiveness is matched by Marcus and then enters Mr Wagner (swoon) Gorgeous and wow did he make me laugh. I enjoyed everything about this book, it started off beautifully and the adventure had my heart pacing. I actually cried in one of the scenes - yes cried. We also get introduced to the land of Nuaght, were the goyls reside, I love this land with its awesome funny characters. By the writing I can tell Rae loves images and has brought vivid images to the reader through her writing. The plot has moved along wonderfully in the second book, one I did not see coming, now I await to be sucked into Raven in the Grave #3 of the PIB series

What I've Become







Part One

Trace 

I had been thinking of everything I used to want to be.
This was the story that was my life.
These were the lies that had created me
A trace of a life that had collapsed
Entombed within a destiny of the rise,
Above a very dangerous fall.



Prologue
ll my life, I had searched for something, something I
thought I ought to be. I felt like I was living someone
else’s life, waiting for the awakening of my own. I felt like
an empty shell burning for life. That was, until the day I lay dying in
the prince’s chambers. I could no longer feel the pain from the tear in
my gut. The only sensation left was a hollowed-out feeling that I had
made a huge mistake in assuming that taking my own life, would have
stopped the ancestors’ spirit from raging out. I had given up. I didn’t
want to see myself killing the ones I loved. I was the Chosen one, but I
threw it all away for what I thought would save a life. Could you end a
life to save a life? I did, and I have regretted it ever since. I realized then
that things like me are not meant to exist. What had been missing my
whole life? It was I. To find myself, I had to lose myself in the worst
possible way. The consequences of my actions became the legend of
The Broken.


Chapter One 

Oh, Star 



I wasn’t sure why they called us The Broken, but what I did know for sure was that we were different from the other human inhabitants of the planet, not physically, but in spirit. We were the third generation with a huge (some would say a cursed) destiny. Poseidon is the planet on which we resided. It was set in a milky way much like our home planet – Earth. Global warming, war and evil undertakings were said to have contributed to Earth’s destruction. So it was said. Did I believe it? No. I believed that there was a lot more to the story behind our origins. I could feel it in the cold burn of my legs sometimes and I could see it on the faces of my peers as we walked down the hallways of our school. A haunting feeling stared back at me as I looked upon my reflection in the monitor every morning. The color of my irises had changed twice since I had hit puberty. Was that normal? No way. I often wondered why I was the only one who had experienced that strange side effect of puberty. But there was something else, something I kept secret from the Council – from Kim – that might have confirmed my suspicions.....
