Wow!  This is going to be a primo series.  This book has a lot of start up - world developing stuff going on, however, it's not boring stuff.  Author Bickle does an excellent job of developing the character that is Garnet Connors.  She's a normal everyday trauma surgeon (not that that is normal or everyday) minding her own business.  She's noticed crows her whole life and many of them have given her gifts.  Not valuable gifts, just things that are shiny that the crows would like.

Then BAM!!!  Garnet enters the world of the supernatural.  Without warning, some scary stuff goes down.  Attention gets brought unto her and now she's noticed.  Dang!

Garnet is as bewildered as any of us would be when greeted with this weird stuff.  The only thing different is that she gets clues.  She has dreams.

To be honest, I really thought I was super smart and had it all figured out about where the story
was going.  By the end, I closed the book (or shut my kindle off - because, well, closing a book is more final, ya know?) with a "WHOA!"  I did not see that coming.

This did have a mild cliffhanger, but I wasn't overly bothered by it so it wasn't dramatic.  It did allude to sex, there was swearing, there was violent death.  It was incredible!  Morrigan's Bite comes out October 23, 2020.  I am stoked!  I give Morrigan's Blood a 5.

Oh, and a side note to the author - THANKS FOR THE CAMEO OF SPARKY!!  Love him!!

Pretty good. I'll read the rest. Have to see where this leads Garnet/Morrigan. World building isn't deep but what's there is pretty good.
