Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig

5.0

HOLY CRAP. Wow. I mean... WOW. This book was a roller coaster from start to finish– a grim, angry, merciless, whiplash beautiful roller coaster. I loved it. The story was intense and unpredictable, the flashbacks relevant and shocking, the dialogue razor sharp, and the characters richly complex. Miriam is unlike any other lead character I've read in a while. There was nothing I didn't love about the story and while it's not for everyone (if there's a curse, you better believe it's used at least three times in this story), but those who like their fiction ruthless and unforgiving? This is the book for you. Amazing. I can't wait to read more.
