review 1: I did not read the first book (because I didn't know this book was the second book in a series. whoops) but I feel like I did not need to because the only thing they talk about from the previous book is that Clive was almost executed and was found guilty for something he didn't do, and Lady Serafina Trent, Dylan Tremayne, and Matthew Grant proved his innocence. But anyway, this book was so good and adorable. I love all the romance in it. I also really love that this is a Christian book. I did not know that before I read the book. (I didn't do any research, if you couldn't tell.) But it was just so cute. I loved Dylan and Serafina, and Matthew and Dora, and Trevor and Gervase! They were adorable! The only thing I did not like was that the real "mystery" was really late. It ... morewas about 70 pages (this is an estimate, don't judge if I'm wrong) from the end of the book. I understand that finding Trevor was part of the "mystery", but they found him so fast. That probably doesn't make any sense but oh well. I really liked this book and can't wait to read the next book!
review 2: While I did enjoy this book, I found that I liked the first one in the series "The Mermaid in the Basement" (Lady Trent Series #1) just a little better. I'd give this one about a 3.75 star rating, so I rounded it up to 4 stars.Most of the original characters from the first book are back again, Serafina Trent and her family, Dylan, and even Matthew Grant. A new noble family is introduced to us, the Haydens. They were unable to have children except for one infant who died shortly after his birth 18 years ago....or so they thought. Evidence comes to light about a baby switch, which means their son Trevor is actually alive and living in the slums of London with no idea who he really is. Serafina and Dylan are enlisted to find him, and the search begins...There's quite a few people in the Hayden family, and at first I found it difficult to keep them all straight. I had trouble "clicking" with some of them, although there were a few that I liked. It seems like the first book (The Mermaid in the Basement) had more of Serafina and Dylan sneaking around doing detective work, which I thought was a really fun part of the story, and I missed that here.Overall, I did enjoy "A Conspiracy of Ravens", but for some reason the storyline of the previous book just hooked me a little more. I have already started the next (and last?) book in the series, "Sonnet to a Dead Contessa" (Lady Trent Mystery Series #3), and I'm looking forward to seeing where the characters go next. less
