Can it really live forever?

Too darn short!

I read the audio edition and the performance by Valerie Gilbert really added good things to the tale.
The historical tale has some good research into social and religious customs of the day, and terrors of the known and unknown that we are not burdened with today. It is a romance with suspense and the only complaint that I have is that it is too short.

A Great Story!

This is the first novella in the Stained Series. I really enjoyed this story until it got to the end of the story. Author Jessica McBrayer created a unique and an intriguing story although the ending still has me confused to the other two audiobooks in the Stained Series. I'm sorry the review is so short but it's a story you need to read for yourself.

Narrator and an author Valerie Gilbert did a great job with her narration of this story. I myself didn't care for the old fashioned accents but it was meant to have it for this short story. I was extremely happy the other stories weren't so old fashioned and more into a the new age. She still did a wonderful job with her telling of this story. I really enjoyed this story and I look forward to listening to the other two that are available on Audible. Overall, I give it a 4 star rating!

A fabulous addition to the series!

This fabulous little tale is a must-read to learn all about how Thorne's Raven came to be. Highly recommended. I loved the insight, which pushes me on to read the next book in the series. But even on its own, the story of two star-crossed lovers who are beset by the evil times around them is totally engrossing. It isn't necessary to have read the first book in the series, but I do like having it as an anchor. Now on to Book 3!
