![]() ![]() It’s my nature after all.Īs I search out random growls, flutters in my chest, and a suspicion that there’s so much more going on than I could even imagine, I sense that I’m racing against an unknown clock. Whoever did this to me should have known I’d pick at it until it bled. Someone messed with me and no matter how often I’m told to forget it and move on as Torin’s mate, there’s no way I can. I’m being lied to and missing weeks and months of time. Funny how quickly dreams turn into nightmares. It seems my childhood dreams were finally a reality. I’d all but given up, until a quirk of true mate genetics gifted me a true mate like no other. Of course, that dream existed before my father betrayed the pack and turned me into their punching bag. Growing up in Torma, the strongest of the shifter packs, I wanted nothing more than to find my true mate and live my best life. ![]() So why does it taste like ash on my tongue? I finally have the life I always dreamed of. The epic conclusion to the Shadow Beast Shifters. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Written by Beautiful Creatures author Kami Garcia and illustrator Gabriel Picolo, the collaboration brings new life to a beloved DC character.Īnd while both Kami and Gabriel had a blast being able to translate Raven into the modern day, the character of Max was completely original.

As she attempts to balance finishing her senior year of high school and grieving over her loss, strange things start to happen around Raven. Set in New Orleans, the new graphic novel follows 17-year-old Raven Roth after a car accident that kills her foster mom and causes the teen to lose her memory. So while dealing with the malevolent forces that threaten her, she’s also dealing with mean girls at school and budding feelings for a crush. ![]() In DC’s young adult graphic novel Teen Titans: Raven, longtime fans of the young woman with psychic abilities and a fondness for the bird she shares a name with get to see Raven less as a superhero that happens to be a teenager and more so as a teen who happens to have powers. ![]() |
