Raven by Stacey Rourke Blog Tour

An infamous love, destined nevermore,
For death could not claim, the enchanting Lenore.

Cursed by the malevolent spirit of the Headless Horseman, Ireland Crane ventures to Manhattan in search of a way to break her soul crushing bond. Instead, she discovers the lines between fact and fiction are blurring once more. Croaking ravens. Telltale hearts. Could the works of Poe be coming to pass with handsome Wall Street Midas Ridley Peolte as their unwilling target?

She walks the Earth, a plague on mankind,
searching for he, her rotted heart doth pine.

Together, the two unknowingly release a dark force death itself could not tame. Surrounded by the unrelenting violence and mayhem they’ve unleashed, Ireland feels her control over the Horseman slipping. Before the beast within consumes her, she and her crew must follow the clues of the dead to right a centuries’ old wrong. Will it be enough to sate the Horseman’s appetite?

Hell hath no fury like a ghoul scorned.

What do you get when you mix snarky attitude with a monster who has a conscience? Why Crane, of course. But Mrs. Rourke was not done there, she just upped it another level with Raven. With an amazing flare for darkness with a dash of light, we step into the twisted story of Poe and his truest love. Ireland and her crew take on this new twist in their story with the same heart and action as before.

This book was impossible to put down and I mean literally, I tried and was back at it within minutes. I could go on and on and say so much but I won’t because simply stated, you have to read it to appreciate it. I will say this, I could not be more pleased with the nods to Mr. Poe’s works subtlety woven into the story, it makes me want to go break out his complete works and read some old favorites.

All I can do now is sit in wonder and wait for the next one!

Crane by Stacey Rourke Blog Tour

The Horseman is unending,
his presence shan’t lessen.
If you break the curse,
you become the legend.

What if the monster that spawned the legend lived within you?

Now, Ireland Crane, reeling from a break-up and seeking a fresh start, must rely on the newly awakened Rip Van Winkle to discover the key to channeling the darkness swirling within her. Bodies are piling high and Ireland is the only one that can save Sleepy Hollow by embracing her own damning curse.

What do you do when your fresh start turns into a nightmare? Ireland just wanted to leave it all behind and enjoy a simple life. But it looks like the small town she picked is one plagued by the Horseman, that is the Headless Horseman. Ireland finds herself doing things that she never thought she would. Can she beat the evil that besets this town and if so at what cost?

Ok now I can totally fan girl, I mean this is my review after all. Rourke has once again brought to life a world all of her creation. Her main character is a strong female; thank you, I love when the females lead. Then she goes and gives me another thing, which are myths with a whole new twist. We all know the story of the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. But what if that wasn’t all there was to it. That is just what we get. With her usual flare for quick witted characters and a fast pace storyline you quickly are in the storyline. I literally devoured this book in just over two hours because I could not put it down. I’m ready to reread the book. Ireland came to life from her inner dialogue and the way she handles everything that is going on. You will be biting your nails wondering how this is all going to turnout for so many people. This book is not only a GREAT read, it is a MUST read.
