Raven Of Blackthorn Manor by Gemma Juliana

It could just be a bitty poltergeist, or a passing unquiet spirit. But they don’t seem definitely or even particularly hostile. But here’s the thing - the only piano here isn’t even playable. Somebody’s moving small objects around and playing the piano off in the distance… low, haunting bits of sweet music we can both hear. And we finally broke down and admitted to each other that there’s definitely one in this house. It was just weird moving shadows, cold spots in places - if this was one of your mundane movies, we’d still be arguing about what was going on. It’s going to be ages before we’re done with all the hallways full of empty birdcages and decaying books. Her name was Tatiana Lightwood, I wonder if Isabelle and Alec have heard of her?)Īnyway, Jules is working hard on de-spookying the place, but trust me, it’ll still be gothier than a ripped fishnet whenever you get to see it. Normal stuff! She’s about 13 in the part I’m reading but it goes for a few years. She’s just a normal Shadowhunter teenager of the time, complaining about boring history lessons and obnoxious older brothers. (I always forget about the Lightwoods because I think of it as Blackthorn Manor but I found a diary of a girl who grew up here, hidden under one of the floorboards. Why didn’t your ancestors go with something less pointy? This was owned by Lightwoods for years, why no light woods? We may never know. Huh, I guess it makes sense there are a lot of black thorns at Blackthorn Manor. The whole place is full of crumbling statues and faded wallpaper with creepy stains and a LOT of these dark brambles. It’s the most goth building you’ve ever seen. You’re going to love this place when you see it, by the way. Not that we’re getting any sun here in Chiswick, where England is being fully England with the weather. But you like things dark and gloomy! Just, you know – try to get some sun sometimes, okay? While I know you love your ghostly pallor, vitamin D is a real thing. We hope readers have as much fun reading these stories (we recommend you do so with the lights on) as we had writing them.Hey, baby bat! So how’s Shadowhunter Academy? Still having a good time? How’s the roommate - Thais, isn’t that her name? How’s having a roommate? I always kinda wished I’d gotten to go to SA, although obviously the weather was better in California. We have stories set in Scotland, Greece, Oklahoma, Florida, France, Ireland, and more. While the stories are stand-alone, they each share a recurring thread of a Spinel stone, which can play a small or large part in the plot.
