Sept 27 The Highland Raven: A Gripping Scottish Family Saga from World War 2 (A Resistance Girl Novel Book 5) by Hannah Byron

  





The Highland Raven: A Gripping Scottish Family Saga from World War 2 (A Resistance Girl Novel Book 5) by Hannah Byron 

When I first saw the cover I love the raven on the front cover, treasure!

the hat she's wearing shows a beak if you look hard enough and mountain in the background are raven's wing span.

Book starts out when Sable was at home with her mother who was going to have a dinner party and she just wanted her father who was raveling for business.

She camps out in the library and her friend Freddie shows up the next morning with a breakfast tray and he has some ideas to share with her.

Story also goes back in time to when she was with her father in the city, shows up back home later with a man and her father then sends her off to school as she's like her mother, giving her body away to anybody.

In a previous book we do meet Sable so we know a bit about her and her life.  Love the time she spends at the school with other girls. The bonds and friends she make with common interests.

entertaining how the author weaves a story between her life and that of the war. Fun to learn historic events that also take place while she deals with her own tragic upheavals til she gets a call from Freddie and she heads into the action with help from others.

Love that she is so hands on. She learns of other ways to help and jumps right in and also meets the captain, which we know there is a connection but not exactly what yet...

Love how she handles her properties and lends them to aid the war for her country.

Author writes as if you are there with Sable, enlightening, scary and magic at times.

She has a duty to her country and leaves to help.  Love the travel and events that led up to her training.  So much sorrow and pain from her past comes to light, finally as we learn the details of her heartache.

Sad times as she's single again and concentrates on war efforts.

Full circle and then some magic happens on many counts as the story ends. Love the author's notes and recap of how everyone went on with their lives, when they died, etc.

So many surprises in this book!

Sneak peek at next book in the series is included at the end along with a note from the author.

  Can be read as a stand alone book.
