Morality, Loyalty, Friendship and Love?

Revisado: 09-23-21

I thoroughly enjoyed Ravens in The Rain. It’s a pager turner to be sure. From the moment we meet Carney and Pru you know they are meant to be together, you want them to be together. However, the more I learned about them, I had to wonder, do they deserve each other or anyone for that matter? Neither character lacks emotional baggage nor dark secrets to lead us to believe anything substantive can happen between them. And then, literally, out of nowhere a tragedy strikes which forces them both to confront their individual ghosts while attempting to foster their better angels. The authors kept me off balance, I wasn’t quite sure if Pru and Carney were capable of a healthy, reciprocal relationship.

In addition to the main characters, the book is loaded with an array of personalities ranging from fun and quirky to despicable and gross. Christine and Jeff bring all these characters to life while providing a variety of complimentary backdrops; from Vegas to Venice Beach and in between, locales that extenuate the gray foreboding mood and mystery surrounding the two lovers.

The authors don't leave it there; exploring the complications of two people falling in love intertwined with a few untimely deaths, they go broader, providing a sometimes brutal, sometimes subtle assessment of morality, loyalty and friendship.
