Relation Supposing Books Ravencliffe (Blythewood #2)

Avaline Hall is no ordinary girl. 

She’s a student at Blythewood Academy, an elite boarding school that trains young women to defend human society from the shadowy forces that live among us.  After the devastating events of her first year at Blythewood, Ava is eager to reunite with her friends—and with Raven, the compelling but elusive winged boy who makes her pulse race. She soon discovers, though, that the sinister Judicus van Drood hasn’t finished wreaking havoc on Blythewood—and wants to use Ava and her classmates to attack a much bigger target.

Ava’s the only one with any hope of stopping van Drood. But to scuttle his plans, she must reveal her deepest secret to everyone at Blythewood. What’s she willing to sacrifice to do what’s right—her school?  Her love?  Or her life?

Judgment Out Of Books Ravencliffe (Blythewood #2)

A disappointment after the first book. Ava makes some uncharacteristic/unbelievable choices, the plot is mediocre, the ending glib. And barely any time is given to school life, possibly less than in HP7.

I have to say I loved Blythewood. I loved the world that was created with all its problems. It was such a great read about Darklings and Fey and the Humans charged to protect the world. I Learned a lot about he world in the first book. I really enjoyed delving into Ava and her past. WE got to find out what happened to her mother and father and what made her who she is. I also liked seeing more of a personality to Raven and learning about him. He no longer is our Mysteries boy that shows up and

I loved Blythewood and was anxiously awaiting Ravencliffe, hoping for the same kind of magic. This sequel was such a disappointment. Spoilers ahead: The plot slogged on with bizarre events and everything plus the kitchen sink thrown in the mix (weird dancing hypnosis to dupe girls into marrying creepy old guys? What the hell was that!? And along with the Titanic, which by the way is all Ava's fault for sinking -snort-, why not throw a bomb in the mix, and also: RELEASE THE KRAKEN. Just cuz.),

I enjoyed this one, though it felt quite different from the first. The biggest change for me was that the focus of this story was not the school. So much happened in this one. We find out who Ava's father is, Ava struggles to hide what she is from those closest to her, two of her teachers express their love for each other (didn't see that one coming and squee'd appropriately), carnies, explosions and ice skating.One of the things I liked about this series was the lack of a lurve triangle.

Not as good as the first one, which I loved, but still quite enjoyable. I like that the overall message of these books is to treat all people equally. As with the first one, I really liked the historical facts interspersed with the fantasy story. References to Woolworths, as well as famous people from the early 20th century made the world richer and more believable. I'm excited to read the third and final novel to see how this ends. I can't wait to bring Van Drood down once and for all.

Ava has survived her first year of Blythwood and helped save the Order of the Bells from a possible disaster from the inside out. Can she get through her second year? Can she take it when she learns who she really is? Why this is all happening to her? Her friends are fighting but then something intricate is going on. Will she be able to figure it all out in time to save the town/her friends and herself? Read this thrilling second edition of the Blythwood trilogy: Ravencliffe.

loved the first book! i just couldn't get into this one... even after 300 pages!
