Raven's Cry #3
Raven’s Reckoning
The skeletons in their closet opened the door and escaped with a vengeance.
A relationship with three men sounded like a fantasy to Rain Carter once upon a time, but now, she couldn't imagine her life any other way. Warren, Ezra, Graham, and Rain are in perfect sync.
Until the woman in black returns.
When she reveals the truth about Warren’s past, and how it collides with Rain’s, their perfect fairytale shatters.
Once lovers, now enemies, the quad must band together to fight their shared demons...
And hope to hell and back that they can escape the cold grasp of their deepest failures.

Gahhhhhh cliffhanger!!! These books have me all wrapped up with anticipation and anxiety. The mystery continues, even when many old questions are being answered. Fast paced and the smexy times are 🔥. I have loved these books and can’t wait to get off this cliffy. I am a big fantasy reader and have loved that this has fully kept me on my toes and my attention. I was given an ARC for my honest opinion, and my honest opinion is I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK! 👏🏼🖤🔥👏🏼🖤🔥

4.5⭐️
There's an excellent mix of both plot and spice in this book, and the rollercoaster of emotions throughout is exquisite. I love the realistic view of polyamory and the separate relationships, trying to balance them, and everyone's feelings. The plotline with Amelia, her ravens, and the demon is just as suspenseful as the first two books. It leaves you feeling rather stressed at points and oh so angry with Amelia!
I believe some of the new side characters introduced in this are from one of Charlie's other series and now I desperately need to read that too! Don't worry though if you haven't read them, it will not affect this book.

Omg Charlie has done it again. I enjoyed this one more than RS. But Warren dying hurt my heart. But then when they went to see Laila and Jeremy was just wow 👌 👏 😍 👍

What an emotional ride!
I know a lot of people read these types of books for the spice, and believe me, there's plenty here, however Charlie manages the best balance of spice to deep story. The plot twist...🤌. The explanation ...💔💔 The spice🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ There's so much emotion and sadness mixed with love and joy. So many answered questions, so many more questions to ask, and if you've read her back list, the most exciting cameos! I consumed this ARC in one sitting, I quite literally could not put it down. My heart broke for poor Warren. Grab your tissues and get ready for a literary roller coaster. I know I say this every time I read her books, and every time I 💯 mean it. The. Best. One. Yet. It's been so exciting to take this journey with Charlie, I found her on TikTok and I thank the algorithm for putting this author on my radar. Thank you Charlie for sharing your stories they are hauntingly beautiful!

While I’m still invested in the plot, I’m finding the narrative increasingly tedious and over-explained. There’s far too much emphasis on dissecting characters’ motives, which I’d prefer to uncover through their actions rather than having every detail spelled out. When the story already demonstrates a character’s motives, additional explanations from multiple perspectives only slow the pace and make the book drag. I had hoped this would be the final book in the series, moving the story to a close, so I was disappointed to realise there’s at least one more installment ahead.

This book continues the journey of Rain, Graham, Ezra, and Warren and what they're going to do to stop an extremely powerful demon and the copious amounts of sex they have along the way.
The cast gets the peace that Amelia told them they'd get for a few years allowing them to explore normalcy over a few years ago between book two and three but also for the first half of the book.
It's nice to get to see them relax and deal with normal relationship problems.
Graham even explores what it means to enjoy wanting Rain to get railed by the others and Warren helps him work those feelings out a bit. It's really sweet.
The plot (like my gravy) thickens and the banging sadly has to be set aside, not completely but you know.
What happened the night of Jake's death becomes known. It's heart breaking and Rain goes through it. Warren has to go through it too. That night is how everyone is connected. Ezra only being connected through Warren but that connection is enough to drag him into too and devastatingly so. Warrens morals are questioned, Amelia's intentions are questioned, Ezra needs to be saved and things get worse.
The rest you'll have to find out on your own. Like, are those random people Graham's gods? Does Amelia really suck? Will we ever get to see the shadow scene in book one fully realized?
Only those of us who read it know and you need to join us!
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Highly recommend but as always check for triggers. This one is full of them but Charlie Nottingham is quite thorough in making them available and we Stan an author who does that!

This is book 3 in the Ravens Cry series by the amazing Charlie Nottingham. It’s a Reverse harem, which isn’t normally my choice of reads, but these characters are great together and truly are meant to be. Charlie writes it all so well.
It picks up where book 2 left us. Amelia is back and giving hints of what is to come and like before it seems she is playing chess and getting all the pieces aka these characters in place.
However, this time she reveals what Warren did, which she only hinted at before. Rain is devastated with this revelation and rightfully so but can she forgive him? She absolutely must if they hope to survive.
I was jumping up and down with joy at the end of the book as some of my favourite fictional characters of all time have been introduced. If you haven’t read Charlie’s Eluding Destiny series, you simply must as it’s all coming together now. I’m so excited for the next instalment, especially reading the sneak preview at the end.
Top marks 5/5 from me.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph I am floored!
I do not know how Charlie does it! I had so many theories at the end of Raven's Song and none of them were where this book went 🤣🤣.
I have cried, I have laughed, I have squealed with joy, I have cried happy tears and I did not want this book to end, at all!
The twists and turns in this book will have you on edge, it will have you shouting at characters for the miss communication, it will have you jumping for joy if you have read and enjoyed other series by Charlie, it will break your heart and start to mend it.
You will find answers but it will also give you more questions and I can only guess what's going to happen in book 4!
Rain, Ezra, Warren and Graham, I love each of you equally right now!
Oh yes! The spice.......🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 all the chillie peppers, have them all 🤯🤤

Oh that cliffhanger got me good but I'm not even mad 😁 the book was so good.
We continue to see how the dynamics between Rain and her men work while trying to figure a way out of the mess theyre in. You think you know how the story is going to go then bam plot twist. The author has every angle covered and answers questions you didnt know you had until theyre answered.
This story has it all and I love the world the author has created.
It has spice, suspense, action, so much emotion and twists and turns so you cannot put it down.

Let me start off with: I’m terrible at reviews, but this book deserves one.
Charlie has found a way to create an entire universe that drags you in in a way that other authors can’t emulate. I had theories after the second book. I didn’t theorize any of this. The major plot twist was something I genuinely didn’t see coming, which doesn’t happen very often. Poor Charlie had to witness my emotional journey when I was reading the Raven’s Reckoning ARC. Oh and if you want spice please join us in the Charlie-verse! She writes great spice, but doesn’t make it 95% spice to 5% plot. It’s put in at the perfect times (pun intended? 😂) and helps further the story in a way.
Anyways! Charlie you’ve outdone yourself. Jeremy is still the love of my life, but the RC boys have a piece of my heart.

I absolutely adore these characters, this story and this series!!
The dynamics of each relationship is amazing, and how each person has their own unique partnership with each other character.
I love the communication and the surprises that pop up along the way.
I laughed, I gasped, I freaking cried!! And now I'm sitting on this cliff desperately waiting for book four.
If you haven't checked out this series yet, you need to do it, like yesterday!

Note: I received this book as an ARC. These opinions are completely representative of my thoughts on the book and are in no way influenced by any outside sources.
Charlie did it again. I love the way this story is developing and the growth of the relationship between the characters. My one complaint is I feel Ezra and Rain have non had one on one time really since book one and I wish there was more of that. Book does end on a cliffhanger but im excited to see what's next!

This book had me on my toes the whole time! I definitely wasn't expecting the twist it took but it was so good! I absolutely loved the tie in to her other books that's one of my favorite things about Charlie's books is that they overlap. But like did you have to emotionally damage us along the way? 😅 I think this is my favorite one in the series so far and that scene with all of them finally coming together 🥵🥵
December 5, 2022
GD! That ending. I was so frustrated I slammed my kindle shut!
Not mad frustrated, just GIVE ME MOREEEEEE!!
I absolutely LOVE this series. This book was probably the most plot driven. And so soooo good.
Don't worry, there's still PLENTY of smut. *drooling*
I love all the POVs..I think we got 2 extras in this book! No spoilers from me though, you're just going to have to dive into Rain's workd for yourself!
I'm so excited for the next book to come out!

Charlie did it again with another heart wrenching continuation. The whole book was a perfect mix of plot, spice, questions and mysteries. But we did get a lot of questions answered, and that plot twist?! I wish I saw it coming but I was so wrapped up in everything else. Charlie keeps you in suspense the whole time while all the pieces are falling into place perfectly! Grab your tissues and get ready for a wild ride!

Fantastic series!
This series is fantastic! Amazing! The world building, mystical qualities are superior to most anything I've read recently. A witch, a couple vampires and a fae are bound together not just romantically but to solve a horrifying mystery, they need to draw on all their powers and their relationships to each other to defeat a powerful enemy. It's total agony to have to wait until April for book 4!

I've never been happier to receive an ARC! So good! I love Charlie's world so much, and seeing worlds collide full force with her Eluding Destiny series has been fantastic. Character growth is present aplenty, and the deeper look into the intricacies of the growing relationship between the four main characters has been lovely. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book!
November 29, 2022
Absolutely fucking amazeballs! Just watch out for that ending.....have your kleenex ready and don't throw the book! Charlie knows how to pull every emotion out of your soul with such ease that you feel obliged to thank her afterwards! In the best way, this installment of Rain and her men is the best one yet! I can't wait for more.
December 5, 2022
Absolutely love the direction this series is going. All characters have a very well built back stories and I enjoy reading each of their points of view. This book is a lot more plot than spice but it’s needed. But when there is spice it’s amazing lol! I can’t wait for the next book this one does leave a subtle cliffhanger.
December 7, 2022
I was not prepared at all!! I mean I was but omg I wasn't. I love this group, this storyline, this author!!! The way they all can talk about their boundaries and respectfully manage the relationship without taking away any moments. This book had some serious twists and turns and ..
Oh warren... I neeeed the next book!!!
Oh warren... I neeeed the next book!!!

This book did not disappoint. Loved it from the first chapter to the end even if we were left with a cliffhanger.
This book explores more of the dynamics of their poly relationship. While also dealing with the women in black and finding out some details of the night Rains brother was killed.
There is plenty of spice. Actually a lot of spice!!

On the edge of my seat!
I'm speechless! I gasp, I cried, I sweat, I laughed. Having read all of Charlie's other published work it was so good to "see" familiar faces. The reveals in this book we're monumental! And that ending! Be still my heart, what are you doing to me! Needless to say, I loved it. It will be another that I will read multiple times.

CHARLIE!!!
Why?!
Prepare yourself for all of the feels! This one is going to get you good!
We FINALLY get truths out of Amelia. There are multiple plot twists you don't expect whatsoever. Lila and Nick are FINALLY brought into Rain's universe! And the spiiiiiicy scenes with Rain and her men is so dang yummy!
But man, that cliffy is absolutely INFURIATING! I need book 4 immediately!

I am absolutely obsessed with this series and I am completely ok with that. I had never read a Why Choose romance prior to this series, and I wasn't sure how I would feel about it. I realized that while there are more partners, there are more people to love and get to know. I love knowing so many characters so intimately. I literally am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book!
May 31, 2023
The twist and turns this book took! I was definitely not prepared for it but I enjoyed every second of it! This series continually keeps you on the edge of your seat with some white-knuckle-gripping stuff! Continuing to see Rain, Ezra, Graham, and Warren grow is amazing! Seeing them overcome obstacles that are put in there was is phenomenal! I’m excited to see what the next book holds!
June 24, 2024
Love This Book!!!
Charlie Nottingham is an excellent author and I'm extremely grateful for being able to read this entire series. The story just keeps you guessing and it never let's up. I love all of the characters and the storyline they are working through. I look forward to reading the next book.

So good, couldn't put it down!
A fantastic continuation of the series. Rain, Graham, Ezra and Warren are faced with serious threats from inside and outside. This book really pushes you emotionally and threads that 'morally gray' line perfectly. Doesn't hurt the spice level is 5/5 good.

As always, I loved the book. I honestly don’t think that I could ever not love a book by you! The ending almost had me in tears for just adoration of those in that chapter. I’ve been waiting to see how it all ties in and now I know.
This is a must read ❤️

I love this world! I almost put this book on a time-out, but so glad I did not, the event in question was explained and forgiven. The ending was absolutely fantastic, albeit a massive cliffhanger, I can't wait to read the next one!
December 3, 2022
I absolutely love this series and these characters! This book was a rollercoaster ride of emotions ending with a cliff hanger, leaving me wanting the next book now. I can’t wait until the next book comes out!
