Blackbird by Michael Fiegel

2.0

---

The book begins well. I was intrigued by the character of Edison and keen to see how Fiegel would avoid the trap of creating yet another Dexter-like anti-hero. He does it well. Edison North is no Dexter. The relationship between Edison and Christian and its fluctuations between fear and contempt to love and then hate is done well and is complex enough for the reader to never really know how they feel about each other yet still wish them both well. There's a true sense of a parasitic relationship except you're never quite sure who is the host and who is the parasite.

Then he lost me.
