The Silent Bluebird by Elle M. Holmes
4.0

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me an eARC of this book in return for a fair and honest review.

The Silent Bluebirds follows Sadie Smith, a stereotypical introvert who works at the Smithsonian and likes to spend her weekends relaxing with a good book. However, throughout the book she gets involved with a Killian, an agent at a super secret agency. The events of this book test Sadie's understanding of her world and may lead to answers about her past.

My thoughts:

I really enjoyed this book! I think I have decided that I like the trope of classic bookworm enters into what should be a fantastical book plot but is real. Sadie is an enjoyable main character to follow and the intrigue with the secret agencies is right up my alley!

I will say that the beginning is a little slow and I honestly couldn't care less about the romance subplot but that may change as the story continues and the characters have more interactions.
