AUTHOR ENDORSEMENTS
“I’ve never been much of a Noir fan; Ravens in the Rain changed that. From the moment Pru and Carney meet at a Las Vegas casino, I was rooting for them. I anticipated a rollercoaster ride, but I couldn’t have imagined the twists and turns that awaited my new favorite couple. Christie and Jeff Santo pack the short novel with unique set pieces that Pru and Carney must navigate: a ‘bloody’ heavy metal concert, the zaniness of ‘Venis Beach,’ a sexed-up Hollywood mansion, a police station. The dialogue is both somehow realistic and fanciful. My only complaint is that I wanted more.” —Peter Conti, Author of Amazon #1 bestseller, Gringo: My Life on the Edge as an International Fugitive
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
“It is an amazing book crossing the line between a film noir movie and a novel love story… This is a book that you, the reader, cannot skim. The tender moments and rich dialog draw you in—this is a love story to root for. “ —Gerry Souter, WINDY CITY REVIEWS
"A dark romance that will keep readers guessing." —Kirkus Reviews
"This somewhat chilling not-quite-a-romance will satisfy readers looking for a mystery with a side of sexuality. Great for fans of: Kaira Rouda's Best Day Ever, James M. Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice." —BookLife Review
STARRED REVIEWS
***** "From the start, the game of blackjack and the instant chemistry had me hooked. ...It is an unconventional story but gets all the more exciting as the plot unfolds. The action is not just in the relationship but a part of the premise itself. It is fun. It is exciting but most of all, it is as much fun as watching a noir film." — Alex - The Shadow Girl
***** "I received my pre-order today and couldn't wait to read it. Loved the story of two people who were lucky to find each other. I can definitely picture it as a film. Loved the twist at the end." — Noella B. Nuzzo (Amazon)
***** "What is the truth and who is telling it, but, does it matter? Very entertaining read." — Amazon Customer
***** "What a fantastic book written in the film noir style... It was beautiful following along as these characters learn about each other and ultimately about themselves and develop as human beings... Discovering that everyone is in their own sort of cage, no matter what the bars are made of was really eye-opening... Really enjoyed this book. Recommend!" — BlaironFire
***** "I flew through it in a day because I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!" — Amazon Customer

***** "I thoroughly enjoyed Ravens in The Rain. It’s a pager turner to be sure." — Dan (Audible)

***** "The writers expertly captured the charm of the noir universe with its balance between realism and hazy dreamscape."
