Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • One magical inn, two kids with supernatural powers, and an ancient Celtic creature trying to destroy their world... Wednesday meets Supernatural in this bewitching middle-grade series!

Thirteen-year-old Anna Ballinkay has never been normal. Her family uses their psychic abilities to help run the Ravenfall Inn, a magical B&B between the human world and the Otherworld. But it’s hard to contribute when your only power is foreseeing death.

So when fourteen-year-old Colin Pierce arrives at Ravenfall searching for his missing older brother, Anna jumps at the chance to help. But the mysteries tied to Colin go much deeper than either of them expects...

Now the supernatural creature straight out of Celtic mythology, one with eerie connections to Colin's family, is coming after them. If Anna and Colin can’t stop the creature, it would spell destruction for Ravenfall and the world as they know it.

This book is magical. Its late-August release date is excellent timing, because this needs to be on everyone's autumn TBRs.

This book was SO much fun! It's a fabulous combination of coziness (so much delicious food and delightful magic!) and spookiness (it actually gets surprisingly dark for an MG at times - this is definitely an older MG book) and I raced through it all, having a wonderful time along the way. Set in a s......more
