Teen Tuesday features Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater. This is book one of the Dreamer Trilogy, and is a spin off/ companion novel of sorts to The Raven Cycle Quartet. One technically does not need to have read the quartet to enjoy the bizarre and dangerous world Stiefvater has created in Call Down the Hawk. It is peopled by fascinating characters from sinister to endearing. Obscure and atmospheric Stiefvater excels at keeping the reader off-balance and guessing. She also delights and confounds with imagery and withering commentaries on life and human nature.
Ronan Lynch isn't just pining for Adam Parrish while Adam's away at Harvard, he's the target of a government-funded assassin. Dreamers have been linked to an end-of-the-world prophecy and they are turning up dead all around the world.
If you like paranormal suspense or if you read and enjoyed The Raven Cycle, you will love Call Down the Hawk. Will Patton narrates superbly using his growly voice to good effect here.
