A car accident kills both Raven’s foster mom and her memories. She’s not sure about anything anymore. She moves to New Orleans with her aunt and cousin to finish high school, but starting over isn’t easy. Sure, she remembers the everyday things like math and cooking, but she doesn’t remember any of her personal effects or even her favorite candy bar.

Terrible dreams plague Raven. Strange things keep happening to her as she hears the internal thoughts of other people and hallucinates. Luckily Max, her cousin, lets her borrow noise-canceling headphones, which helps drown out the voices in her head. Her aunt knows more than she’s telling her. Can Raven and Max figure out what’s happening to her before it’s too late?

RAVEN is the first teen graphic novel in the Teen Titans series from DC Ink with themes of understanding your identity and second chances. Raven and Max become close in their time together and forge a deep bond. Their friendship helps Raven survive. Supernatural elements weave in through the story. Raven’s aunt is a Voodoo Priestess, which make the New Orleans setting perfect for this story.

The storyline ends on a cliffhanger, leaving the reader eager for more. The striking artwork from Gabriel Picolo features a palette consisting mostly of black, white, and purple. The graphic novel has a preview for the next book in the series, Beast Boy, coming out next year from the same author and illustrator.
