Now that I've read this book, I feel like I see crows everywhere I go.
As the Crow Flies tells of several people in varying states of troubles within their lives. Some of them know each other already, some of them don't but find themselves ultimately connected later. Each of them has momentary conflicting memories that they can't explain. Most troubling is the sudden appearance of people in town who were believed to be dead.
Horror movie fans might have a slight advantage when reading As the Crow Flies
I'm not much of a horror movie fan, but there were a few moments that were themed with classic horror films that I think everyone would recognize. That was interesting and I think helped with imaging certain moment in the story. It's not necessary to be familiar with any horror movies at all to enjoy this book. I can attest to that.\

Reasons you must read this book:
- -You hate birds and this book shows them as the monsters that they truly are.
Rysa Walker and Caleb Amsel have delivered an action-packed horror show of a story with As the Crow Flies. The book has a bit of a slow start following the perspective of a possessed crow. The crow is spying on several people, and why this matters isn't immediately apparent, but it's well worth the read to find out.
- The story line is full of surprises
- It's impossible to predict the ending
- You enjoy thinking about a book for days after you've finished reading.

Ryan Walker’s Timebound series is my favorite series ever, and I’ve read everything else she’s written since. As the Crow Flies is not normally the type of book I’d read on my own, but I’m really glad I received an ARC because I enjoyed this!
You follow the stories of a group of people living in a small town, and they quickly realize things aren’t right. They all have interesting backstories, and their interactions with the minor characters tend to be the creepiest and most fascinating passages. You will want to find out what exactly is going on in Haddonfield and stay hooked into the end - which ends on a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next one!
Some parts dragged a little, but all in all the book kept my attention and I didn’t want to put it down.
Being familiar with classic horror movie plots may make this an even more engaging read, but I’m not and it didn’t take anything away. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

After obsessing over the Chronos Files, I was worried about venturing into horror, but as always Rysa (and company) wrote a spectacular story. I can't wait to venture on to book 2!

This is a well-written horror/suspense story. It kept me up very late, as I anxiously turned the pages, as quickly as possible, in order to discover what nightmares would befall the characters that I quickly grew to care about. It is an extremely convoluted roller-coaster ride that includes blind curves and many fast-paced, 360 degree loops! I throughly enjoyed reading about the deeply imaginative creations and situations the authors' dazzled me with. The 'Easter eggs' scattered across the pages are also greatly entertaining to me, especially since I'm a huge fan of many books in the horror genre. I'm anxiously awaiting book 2.

- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
