Raven Hill is a deliciously entertaining addition to the booming genre of Folk Horror, initially following the troubled relationship of Nate and Miranda who are soon to discover that these tempestuous times will prove to be the very least of their problems.The characters are beautifully drawn, and inspired either a genuine sense of caring or extreme revulsion from this reader.The book is very well paced, moving along at a fair clip but finding time to focus on characterisation and locale; the latter blending the ancient and the modern as the very best Folk Horror should do.It's a well constructed plot too, using an idea of a wandering band of colourful characters to search for rogue witches who made the diabolical leap from white magic to black.Moderate horror, with nothing that's really extreme, and a real page turner.
4 stars out of five.
