Heart of the Raven by Joleene Naylor book 5 in the Amaranthine Series

Heart of the Raven by Joleene Naylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an exciting and adventurous book with amazing things happening around every corner! I loved all the interesting characters and the many personalities, not everyone got along but they all worked together for the cause. My favorite Character was Verchiel he made me laugh on many occasions and he was always pushing someones buttons.

Katelina and Jorick are being sent to Munich to testify before the True Council but shortly after they get there Malick and his henchmen invade and they are forced to flee. Malick wants the Heart of the Raven which Jorick has stolen from him and hidden somewhere. The heart is said to be the heart of Lilith the very first vampire and who ever drinks from it will become the most powerful vampire on earth. Jorick assures Katelina that it is just a myth and that it is also said that it is to be the heart of Lilith herself and that to restore it to her would be to restore Lilith the oldest vampire in existence, but that none of it is true.but is it? Malick seems to think so and they must get to the heart and to Lilith before he does or the world they know might no longer be. for whoever controls the heart is said to control Lilith.

The book was amazing! Joleene is a superb writer and I was on the edge of my seat most of the time never knowing what would come around the corner next! I will defiantly have to read the previous books now as I loved this one so much!

A myth with the power to destroy the world…

Katelina has barely recovered from the chaos of Malick’s revolt, yet she and Jorick must go to Munich to testify before the True Council. All hopes of a vacation are dashed when they ‘re assigned an entourage that includes Verchiel, a vampire Katelina never wants to see again.

Her hatred is forgotten when Malick and his henchmen penetrate the stronghold in Munich. Jorick hijacks the trip and diverts them on a quest to reclaim the Heart of the Raven. Said to be the disembodied heart of Lilith, the relic may be more reality than myth, and if it falls into the wrong hands it could have disastrous consequences for the world. Can they reach its hiding place before Malick?

The fifth installment of the Amaranthine series sees Jorick and Katelina draw closer as they surround themselves with their own miniature army and try to outwit the machinations of the ancient master. Katelina grows stronger and learns to stand on her own because there’s no room for the fainthearted in a world where darkness is eternal and the night tastes like blood.
