I was left wanting more and I have to wait for next book in The Young Shakespeareans Series. Dancing with Raven mixes dance, theater with demon killing and it totally works. Lots of quotes throughout the book. This is a fantasy, YA, coming of age story and romance. There is a lot of mystery to the story. There is a little bit for everyone with demons fighting and dancing,
I did not want to stop reading. I like the mix of characters. Lots of teenagers, demons and adults all with plenty of drama.
Tori Moss will be turning 18 soon. She does not know that on that date demons plan to sacrifice her and start Apocalypse. Tori goes to art and theater school. She has a bad audition. She lives with her foster mom after her parents accident. Tori has a major secret she can see demons.
Raven wanted to get into The Royal Drama Academy of London but does not make it. His father Ian Cassidy wants him to leave England and help him with a special project now that he is retired from the Shakespeareans Institute. Raven does not want to go to Hollywood.
Tori and Raven have a lot of the same classes but get off to a bad start. Raven thinks Tori is beautiful. They have to dance together in class and make good dance partners.
Felicia and Fletcher Harrington they are very talented, and spoiled. They got into the Academy in London. There Grandfather is the director of the Shakespearean Institute who are demon hunters made up of Nephilim.
The settings are London and Los Angles.
This is the first book in the Young Shakespeareans. I definitely want to see these characters back again.
I was given this ebook to read and in exchange I agreed to give honest review of it and be part of its blog tour.

Tori Moss lives in Los Angeles and is an aspiring ballerina who also happens to see demons. She hasn't told anyone because she doesn't want to be labeled a freak.
Raven is a demon hunter living in London. He's disappointed that he didn't get into The Royal Drama Academy of London. When he finds out Felicia and Fletcher Harrington did, that made his day worse. Felicia recently broke up with Raven and Fletcher is annoying. Later, Raven's father, Ian, announces he's moving to Los Angeles and needs Raven to come with him to help with an assignment.
Raven ends up at Tori's school and they don't get off to the best start. They're in the same drama class and he overhears her mocking him. She apologizes but he still tries to avoid her. Then, his father lets him know why they're really in Los Angeles, and that changes everything.
I've read books by S.G. Rogers before and have loved them and this book didn't disappoint! I loved Tori and Raven! They had some awkward moments and funny exchanges when they were first getting to know each other. They grow to care for each other but there are obstacles in their way.
There are a lot of different characters in this book. At times, it was hard to know who to trust. I was able to figure out some of what would happen but there were still some twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I was surprised at where some of the characters landed in the end. Some things are resolved but others are left up in the air and I'm excited to read the second book asap!!
I received a copy of this book to review. My opinion is 100% my own.

Tori Moss is wanted by the covert demon-hunting society. They just don’t want her; they want her dead before she reaches her 18th birthday. Tori feel desolate and alone. She doesn’t know whom she can trust now that the demons’ goal is to kill her and start the destruction of the world. Why did things become more dangerous for her when an attractive English boy registers in her performing arts institute? When Tori meets Raven she learns they both have the ability to see demons. As the day of destruction draws closer they learn that they may need to rely on one another during this fight between good and evil that they are caught in the midst of. This story is filled with action and mystery. The dialog of the characters is contemporary, and current. This tale is a gripping paranormal read that I think fantasy and romance enthusiasts will enjoy.

Living with her guardian since the untimely death of her parents, Tori is preparing to audition for a summer position with a prestigious ballet company. Disappointment strikes, and Tori is further irritated by the arrival of a hot new British student at her performing arts high school. However, Tori discovers that she and Raven have something in common -- they both see creatures that are not visible to other people. As Raven and Tori try to forge a friendship, Tori has difficulty discerning friend from foe. Close friends, hostile enemies and new acquaintances -- both human and not -- who can she trust? The answer is surprising, and the action exciting as Tori and Raven join forces to combat evil. With an unexpected ending, this reader can't wait for the next book in the series!

I have read quite a few of Rogers' books and this one blew me away! There are so many twists and turns; every time I thought I knew what would happen, that theory would be blown away. Then there was the matter of who to trust? I couldn't ever really decide who was trust-worthy! I thought I did, but man Roger's kept me on my toes! Why is this book so great? The story is unique and compelling and the storytelling was so well done that I was flipping pages like a madwoman! The secrets, the heartache, the unknown, this book just kept me on my toes! And seriously, where is book two? I need it like yesterday!

The premiss for this book really captured my interest. The writing is good and kept me reading well past my normal bedtime. I like the characters and the interactions between several of them. It may have started a bit slow but it wasn't at all boring. The pace really picks up and things get exciting quickly. I'm still not 100% sure I love or like the ending. I'd definitely read other books by this author. Review by C. S. An evaluation copy was provided by Promotional Book Tours in exchange for an honest review.

This is an action packed young adult novel. Supernatural is all the rage with teenage girls (think Twilight, Harry Potter), and Dancing with Raven is bound to join that list. Demons everywhere, no one to trust? Sounds like a typical day in LA...
