Some of the relationships didn’t feel natural to me. I would have liked more explanation about how she’s suddenly able to use her power after a lifetime of not knowing she was a witch.


Being settled at college for four years and joining the Kappas fills those voids. With Vivi’s flighty mother who packs up and moves them at the drop of a hat, she’s missed stability in her life and has never lived anywhere long enough to make friends.

Initially she comes off as judgemental, elitist, and kind of a mean girl, especially when it comes to Vivi, but undergoes several changes and easily has the best character arc. While I really didn’t care for Scarlett in the beginning, she changed my mind by the end. The different types of witches and their magic are explained well, and I enjoyed seeing their varieties of powers. They believe they’re stronger together than individually, something that’s proven true several times over by the end of the novel. Kappas always put their sisters first and never go against them. Like Coven, sisterhood is an important theme in this story. The whole time I was reading, I kept seeing the witches in American Horror Story Coven – loved that season. With The Ravens involving witches and having such an awesome cover, I couldn’t pass it up. When Vivi and Scarlett are paired as big and little for initiation, they find themselves sinking into the sinister world of blood oaths and betrayals.Īlthough I’ve always liked college settings in books, it’s been a while since I’ve read one. Scarlett knows she’d be the perfect candidate - that is, if she didn’t have one human-sized skeleton in her closet…. For Scarlett Winters, a bonafide Raven and daughter of a legacy Raven, pledge this year means living up to her mother’s impossible expectations of becoming Kappa Rho Nu’s next president. For Vivi Deveraux, being one of Kappa Rho Nu’s Ravens means getting a chance to redefine herself. But beneath the veil of Greek life and prestige, the sisters of Kappu Rho Nu share a secret: they’re a coven of witches. Their fundraisers are known for being Westerly College’s most elaborate affairs. Kappa Rho Nu isn’t your average sorority.
