Ravena & The Resurrected on March 28, 2011

Ravena & The Resurrected takes you on an exciting journey of getting what you’ve always wanted then finding out it isn’t exactly like you had anticipated. I truly enjoyed this story. This was my first e-book ever, the paragraph notations were something new for me but I quickly discovered that it made it much easier to find my place. I did try the hyperlinks a few times and was pleased with the extensive information I was able to find there but getting back to the book for me seemed to be a challenge (again my first e-book experience). I didn’t want to leave the story to explore the hyperlinks too often, but knowing that I could go back and check out all the cool stuff once finished with the story was nice too. I stayed up late nearly every evening, reading the adventures of Ravena Doomlah as she experienced a Seattle few mortals get the chance too. The detail the author, Tami Jackson, weaves throughout the fabric of this tale adds great texture; the wonderful imagery tantalizes all the senses. When I had to put the book down for sleep, work, that kind of thing, I found myself very anxious to get back to the story so I could find out what next awaited Ravena and her companions. The development of the relationships that Ravena experiences was unexpected, funny and enjoyable to watch unfold. The subtle and not so subtle twists in her chronicle were a wonderful blend of amusing, exciting, startling and sometimes all too human encounters in a non-human world. Tami Jackson is an author to keep your eye on. I am greatly looking forward to her next book.
