Book Review: Devil in Spring (The Ravenels #3)














Overall: 3/5

Plots and Themes: 2/5

Characters: 3/5

Writing Style: 3/5

Attention Grabbing: 3/5

Devil in Spring is the third book in the Ravenels but can be read as a standalone. Lady Pandora Ravenel doesn't like balls, she's not looking to get married, all she really cares about is her family and her board games. When she's caught in an "it's not what it looks like" position, a family friend thinks he's helping by forcing the man into marrying her. She's obviously strongly against this. 

It was pretty mid until the end. A pretty standard wallflower-who-is-actually-gorgeous type situation until the author decides to throw a random little danger plot in at the end. That conflict didn't make a lot of sense to me, but it was obviously just for that little extra thrill. I feel it should have built a bit more throughout the book for it to really have that flare that I think the author was looking for. Without it, it was giving that sort of fanfiction-style strategy of throwing something in just for a reaction. Other than that though, a pretty entertaining read.
