About the Book:
It came in with the tide. It won't leave without a fight.
Something ancient has woken in Ravens Cove. And it's calling everyone home.
When a centuries-old totem pole washes ashore during the Alaskan solstice, Kat Melbourne has a growing certainty that whatever came in with that totem isn't done yet. Police Chief Ken Melbourne has a missing officer and no explanation.
People are going into the water. They are not coming back.
When one man's arrogance unleashes the full fury of what lives in the deep, Ravens Cove has hours. Not days.
Kat knows she has to go in after them. What she doesn't know is that something far older and far darker has been waiting two hundred and fifty years for exactly that moment.
In the deep, two worlds of faith will have to stand together — Dena'ina tradition and the power that cast out darkness long before Ravens Cove existed. This evil has had centuries to grow strong. And it has no intention of letting go.
The tide is rising. Time is almost up.
My Review:
This is a short but powerful novel of spiritual warfare. Poll creates a blend of biblical strategy and indigenous beliefs. The evil is real and the people struggle to find out the correct way to counter it. Poll is good at describing the scenes, the pulsing totem, the freezing cold water. She has created characters who are strong and steady in their work to release the bound souls. And there is one character who was willing to accept the evil for the power he might gain. While it seemed a little difficult to me to combine indigenous beliefs with biblical ones, it is a good novella on spiritual warfare.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
About the Author:
Mary Ann Poll, America’s Lady of Supernatural Thrillers, is the award-winning author of the Ravens Cove series. Born in Texas and shaped by its wide skies and stubborn spirit, Mary Ann called Alaska home for over forty years — and though her boots are back on Texas soil, her heart never left the Last Frontier. That love for both lands breathes through every page — from the stubborn, sun-baked spirit of Texas to the eerie perpetual light of the Alaskan solstice and the rich traditions of Alaska’s Indigenous peoples.
Her love for a spine-tingling, goosebump-creating story and her love for Christ come together in her writing. Mary Ann’s own spiritual journey — from a lifelong fascination with the supernatural to a deep and abiding faith — gives her Ravens Cove novels their distinctive voice: suspenseful, grounded in real spiritual stakes, and ultimately rooted in hope.
(My star ratings: 5-I love it, 4-I like it, 3-It's OK, 2-I don't like it, 1-I hate it.)
