RELEASE DATE : NOVEMBER 3, 2015


This is the first novel in the Raven Room Trilogies and the first novel by Ana Medeiros. I give her high marks on this erotic thriller. She definitely held my interest with her unique characters and plot twists. 

The Raven room is an underground sex club with the rules of anything goes. Well anything except murder of course but that is where our mystery begins. Meredith is quite the curious kitten with a serious sexual appetite, almost too much for the much older Julian. Julian is a well-known member of the club and Meredith is desperate to take a visit despite warnings from her detective stepmother to stay away from both the club and Julian. That doesn't stop Meredith or her plans to enjoy her visits to the club and while she's there do a little investigating about a murder that takes place and might have ties to the club itself. 

When she's not playing detective, Meredith takes notice of a distracted Julian and this is when the story spins off into a whole other direction. In comes Alana who is just as mysterious as Julian. They click in a much more adult way than Julian and Meredith and you get a sense that this might become a love triangle on some level. Though before we can even really get to that...BOOM....massive fucking twist! Like I just dropped the book and tried to figure out what just happened. Major cliffhanger and it hooks you for book two.
