All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld
3.0
Well, I like the idea of Jake (the female main character) surviving incest and sexual slavery and prostitution, getting her own place far away from Australia (why is that literature featuring Australia always makes me emphatically NOT want to go there?), & forming a bond with a gay man looking for healing and peace. But WHAT is the unknown animal or monster? WHAT IS IT???! I feel like I just watched Close Encounters ("this means something!") but I never got to see the UFOs! Huh?!
Warning, there is animal death in this book. But it was sort of OK animal death. Given the overall dark tone of this book, it seemed like just another thing that happened!
Despite what I've said here, I basically liked the book. I almost gave up on it about 60 pages in, but having got past the important 50 page mark, decided to continue, & I was glad I did. Jake is certainly a survivor and that's a key take-away here.
