Bestselling author, Kate Moretti is back with another strap yourself in and get ready for a great ride novel, THE BLACKBIRD SEASON (Atria). It’ll have you on the edge of your seat reading and eating entirely too much chocolate. Maybe that was just me. But is it really a bad thing?
“Where did they come from? Why did they fall? The question would be asked a thousand times …”
Kirkus Reviews gives THE BLACKBIRD SEASON a starred review and writes its full of “great pacing and true surprises.” I call it a fast-paced mystery about revenge, broken relationships between a wonderful cast of really flawed and damaged characters. The best kind to read about, if you ask me. It’s about a small close-knit town that comes unglued when bad things start happening. Birds fall out of the sky, the really nice teacher may be involved with a student and that student disappears. It also includes enough high school angst, I was literally grateful I never have to go back.
What did I love most about THE BLACKBIRD SEASON? It kept me guessing until the VERY end!
*****
Her lifelong dream is to buy an old house with a secret passageway.

I don’t read very many “twisted” books, but Good Me, Bad Me was the latest psychological drama I have read.

I didn’t leave the light on but I thought All The Ugly and Wonderful Things was both twisted and sad.

I’ll tell you. I read a lot of scary books and I’ve never had to leave a light on but In the Darkest Corner had me freaked out and Heart Shaped Box, I didn’t finish this one because I didn’t care for it but what I did read, freaked me out all the same.

I don’t recall a recent read that has me keeping the lights on. I will say that after watching The Shining on television, it does make it difficult for me to fall asleep.

Oooohhhh! I’d love the copy of Katie’s The Blackbird Season. The book that totally had me uncomfortable while reading at night was Iain Reid’s “I’m Thinking of Ending Things.” Holy cow was it creepy! I will definitely be reading it again.
