Kalyn Josephson answered Olivia Plasencia's question: I am really enjoying your Ravenfall novel, it is so magical and natural. Also love the references to your background. How many of these can we expect? Even though I am not the target age group, I am so glad I found these books! Hi Olivia! I'm so glad you're enjoying it.
