🤍Kennt ihr bereits Bücher von Raven Kennedy?

𝑀𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑀𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑛𝑔:
Raven Kennedy und eine düstere Neuinterpretation des Rattenfängers von Hameln? Das musste ich einfach lesen, nachdem mich die Autorin mit ihrer „The Darkest Gold“-Reihe für sich gewinnen konnte! ❤️‍🔥

Schon nach wenigen Seiten konnte ich eine Verbindung zu Esti aufbauen und musste ziemlich früh mit ihr mitfühlen. Als Halb-Fae, Halb-Bane wird sie für etwas in Hamelyn verurteilt, für das sie überhaupt nichts kann. Umso schöner fand ich ihre innige Beziehung zu ihrer Mutter und Tante Lenna! 🥹❤️ Die drei haben mein Herz wirklich berührt.

Und dann wäre da noch Varrik, der geheimnisvolle Rattenfänger! 👀 Ich wusste lange nicht, was ich von ihm halten sollte, aber gerade das machte ihn so interessant. Als mächtiger Blut-Fae ist er nicht nur unglaublich undurchschaubar, sondern auch ziemlich bestimmend. Mit der Zeit bekommen wir aber dann doch ein paar Enthüllungen von seinen Geheimnissen und Absichten. Besonders die Fluchtversuche und Wortgefechte zwischen ihm und Esti haben mir unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht. Ihre Sturheit trifft auf seine undurchsichtige Art und sorgt für eine Zusammenspiel, das ich geliebt habe!✨

Auch das Worldbuilding hat mich begeistert. Die Plagen, die unterschiedlichen Wesen, die Fähigkeiten und die grausamen Seiten dieser Welt machen die Geschichte unglaublich spannend. Gleichzeitig gibt es noch so viele Geheimnisse, die ich unbedingt lüften möchte, vor allem nach diesem Twist am Ende!

Ich mochte den Schreibstil der Autorin wieder unheimlich gerne, weil dieser sich super lesen lässt. Allerdings hatte das Buch für mich ein paar Längen, da sich einzelne Handlungen ähnlich wiederholt haben.

𝑀𝑒𝑖𝑛 𝐹𝑎𝑧𝑖𝑡:
✩✩✩✩
Zwischen tödlichen Plagen, Magie und einem Rattenfänger, dessen Absichten noch immer Fragen aufwerfen, hat Raven Kennedy eine neue Reihe erschaffen, in die ich unbedingt zurückkehren möchte!🖤

Vielen lieben Dank @endlichkyss 🤍

The Sweetest Fiend x @ravenkennedybooks is officially a TOP READ OF 2026 for me! And the audio?! INCREDIBLE. 12/10 recommend listening to this one because the narration took an already amazing story to another level.

Raven Kennedy did it again. Truly, I loved this book so much. Not only is the romance elite, but the plot is fast-paced and never lets up. The story is unique, exciting, and constantly kept me hooked. The world building was easy to follow without feeling overwhelming, and I loved that the “Pied Piper” retelling felt fresh without being overdone. It was honestly perfection 👩🏼‍🍳💋

But the star of the show is absolutely the Pied Piper!!!! This man stole (pun intended) the entire book. He’s flirty, possessive, HOT, and his banter with Esti is DELICIOUS. He is monumentally down bad from the very beginning, no matter how hard his bad-boy persona tries to deny it. And THIS MOUTH. The downright filthy things this man says to Esti had me BLUSHING. 🫠 He is absolutely going to ruin her, and I am so here for it.

And THAT ENDING. It was the perfect cliffhanger because I am desperate for more, but I’m not quite ready to throw my Kindle across the room.

Raven Kennedy, I NEED THE NEXT BOOK. Immediately.

The Sweetest Fiend by @ravenkennedybooks 🧡🖤
Book #79 of 2026: Read 9/23-9/25
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🎧 Duet Narration

✨ AHHHHHH A PERFECT BOOK ✨

The pacing in this book is excellent 🤌🏻
🐀 World building
🐀 Lots of action
🐀 Intrigue/mystery
🐀 Romance (both sweet and suuuuper sexy)
🐀 Funny and casual found family moments
🐀 Insane cliffhanger
Like, what more could you possibly want from a book??

✨I’m obsessed with the plagued world that Raven created. It’s GROSS. It’s horrifying. It’s so vividly described, it felt like I was there (ewwwwuh so many rats 🐀)

✨The Piper 😍😍😍😍 omg the MAN you are. SIR.
One of my new all time favorite MMCs.

✨Our girl, Esti, is such a badass. The entire scene at the beginning with the rats and her on the pole…omg I would have just given up right then and there. 😅

🎧 THE AUDIO OMG. It’s so good! First, the narrators did an amazing job and brought the story to life! There’s also music!! Just at the climax of chapters/end of chapters…but it adds a cool element to the audio experience for sure!

PLEASE, read this one if you love a beautifully written romantasy, atmospheric world building and some goooood spice.

Perhaps for the lady…

Serve me up a piece of THAT 🤤

Because apparently I have a type, and that type is fictional men who are dangerously attractive, morally grey, completely obsessed with their woman, and just a little bit feral.

Featured:
• Xaden Riorson — The Empyrean
• Pied Piper — Played by the Piper
• Rhysand — A Court of Thorns and Roses
• Archer — The Bookbinder’s Bargain
• Ruhn Danaan — Crescent City
• Samkiel Unirson — Gods & Monsters
• Evander — The Broken Accords
• Rowan Whitethorn — Throne of Glass (art also by @brunojlopez)
• Darien Cassel — House of Devils
• Gavin Smyth — The Selvaren
• Cassian — A Court of Silver Flames
• Luther Corbois — The Kindred’s Curse Saga
• Slade Ravinger — The Plated Prisoner
• The Stranger — Avalon University

Honestly, I could make this list 47 men longer, but I’m choosing restraint today. 🤣

I was so surprised and excited when this gorgeous edition of The Sweetest Fiend by Raven Kennedy showed up on my doorstep this week! I just started reading it and am LOVING it so much! It is the perfect way to kick off autumn! 🍂

The Sweetest Fiend is the first book in a dark fantasy romance duology about a half-Bane, half-fae woman who taken by the Pied Piper as payment after he rids her city of a deadly Plague.

Thanks a million for the gifted book and goodies! I am obsessed!!! @harpercollins @avonbooks @ravenkennedybooks
