DREADFUL LIES.
UNEXPECTED LOVE.
IMPOSSIBLE TRUTH.
It only took one heartbeat to change my life—one chilling phone call in the middle of the night.
And then, as if my life didn’t already suck, my dad sends my brother and me to some idyllic island for the summer to live with a grandma we never met. WTH. Naturally, I rebel. In the end, I find myself shipped off to Raven Hallow…and bored to tears.
Hallow…and bored to tears.
Until I get an eyeful of the mind-bendingly gorgeous Zane Hunter. The dark-hair cutie makes my pulse go bonkers, and I think, maybe this might not be so bad after all. Six feet of swoon inducing looks, with a hint of Celtic charm in his voice, he was the type of guy that left a string of broken hearts in his wake. And I had all the heartbreak I could handle.
Yet, there is something uncanny, almost supernatural about Zane, and it’s not just his devastating smirk. No matter how much distance I put between us, Raven Hallow isn’t big enough, and the sparking tension between is undeniable. Of course, the one person I want to avoid becomes my salvation.
My past comes back to terrorize me. Someone wants me dead, and the closer I get to the truth, the more I realize my whole life is a lie. I am no longer sure what is more frightening—the attempts on my life or the guy whose heart and soul are synchronized with mine.

great young adult series…thoroughly enjoyed! favorite line…” sarcasm withdrawal” God i get it..Reapers and such with supernatural darkness..
Fantastic series with intense drama, romance, and magic.
Heartfelt love story with well made and unique characters, unique world building, well made romance but also has missing information on some characters so I was at a loss on some aspects of the story. Overall the love hate romance between the 2 main characters keeps you reading.
White Raven has no sex, no cussing, and no blood/gore violence, so in my opinion, it would be good for ages 12+
This series has a few different paranormal beings, but not your typical ones, so I like that. It’s a pretty good start. This sets the scene for the young love that can’t be, and some of Raven Hollow has going on under the normal stuff. I …
I have been provided with a copy of White Raven by the author for an impartial review. This is the first book in The Raven series and it was a great way to start off a series. In this book you get to meet Piper and her brother who have been sent to live with their grandmother after a tragedy happens. It was interesting to see how they would handle …
This is usually nothing I would read but it was very supernaturally I liked about it. It was intriguing and different and made me read more and more until I couldn’t put it down. It also helped my interest by mentioning my favorite show and character in the show. So good job J.L., you made a fan out of me.
This was a great Y/A read (except for the swear language), there was a bit more angst between the Hero/heroine then I care for in books. At certain points, I could relate to the emotional whiplash Piper was getting from Zane. I think it could have been a better read with slightly less whiplash. The world building was good, the flow was good, the …
I want to love this book and these characters but the teenage angst is a bit much…not sure if I can take it thru another 3 or more books without resolution!!!!
THERE IS SO MUCH TO LOVE ABOUT JL WEIL’S BOOKS I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THEM PLEASE IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF A GREAT BOOK PLEASE PLEASE READ HERS THEY ARE FANOMINAL
Going in to this book without not knowing more than just what was on the cover, however I was surprised and happy I have it a try! There were some minor grammar errors, but definitely does not take away from the story. The relationship between Piper and Zane is comical. They both have brat tendencies. Didn’t end in too much of a cliff hanging, so …
