We Become Ravens Final Edits Complete
Hello Book Friends,
It's been a busy week, but I can confirm that the final edits for We Become Ravens have been approved—yippee! The book is now in the formatting stage, but once it is done, it will be ready for ARCs. Keep your eyes on my social media sites for updates as it will go out on NetGalley and through the Hot Tree Influencer Program if you have applied for this. If you have not applied and this sounds like something you would love to be part of, then check out their website:

I will also be contacting some lucky readers through Instagram to receive paperback copies when I get my hands on them.
In the meantime, here's a reminder of what We Become Ravens is all about.
What can the man convicted of killing your brother possibly want if he doesn’t desire forgiveness?
Evangeline Bransby’s world is thrown into turmoil when she receives an unexpected invite from Valdemar Montresor, the man convicted of killing her twin brother ten years ago.
Within the ominous walls of Monroe Penitentiary, Evangeline is beguiled by Valdemar, a man wrapped in darkness and danger yet with a seductive allure she cannot ignore.
As he reveals the secrets of the Raven Hands and the truth behind her brother’s death, Evangeline finds herself caught between the dream world and reality—where the dead are restless and intent on being heard.
Evangeline must seek the truth to unravel the mystery that binds her to Valdemar and discover the power within herself to see beyond the veil of death.
Can she be the saviour, or will she perish in the arms of the man who shattered her world?
Woven with the macabre echoes of Edgar Allan Poe, We Become Ravens is a haunting tale of forbidden romance, dangerous liaisons, and ghostly nightmares.
Have a great reading week.

GYMPIE, Australia - Oct. 28, 2024 - PRLog -- Hot Tree Publishing is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of We Become Ravens by acclaimed author Maria Dean. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Amontillado, We Become Ravens lures readers into a world of dark enchantment, forbidden desires, and deadly secrets.
We Become Ravens introduces Evangeline Bransby, a journalist whose pursuit of the truth becomes deeply personal when she faces Valdemar Montresor, leader of the Raven Hands—and the man responsible for her twin brother's death. As their paths intertwine in Monroe Penitentiary, Evangeline is torn between her drive for vengeance and an undeniable, forbidden connection to Valdemar, whose dark magnetism only intensifies as his secrets unravel. Amid haunted dreams and dangerous revelations, their bond defies logic, thrusting Evangeline into a role she never expected, testing her heart and her fate in ways she could never have foreseen.
Embracing a blend of Gothic allure, fated mates, and a passionate "villain gets the girl" trope, We Become Ravens is a captivating tale of fate, loyalty, and love. As the story unfolds, readers are drawn into a sinister romance full of mystery, dark magic, and powerful forces beyond their control.
Acquisitions Editor, Kristin Scearce, commented on the upcoming release, saying, "Maria Dean crafts a story that masterfully explores the tension between light and dark, innocence and desire.
