In the Shadow of Blackbirds
by Cat Winters

Recommended by:  Sophia B.
This is a story set during World War I. A girl named Mary Shelly lives with her aunt in the city of her childhood friend. She finally gets to see him again but not for long because he enlisted in the army. He soon leaves to be part of the war. Although he is gone, he really isn't. Her childhood friend, Steven, comes to Mary Shelly as a spirit say, "big black birds are killing me". Mary Shelly is trying to find what is wrong with Steven before she gets the Spanish flu. My favorite part of this book is when Mary Shelly starts getting information about Steven. This is one of my favorite books; it has romance, drama, mystery, paranormal and historical stuff. Some parts are sad while others are abnormal and exciting. You should definitely read this book, you won't be sorry!

This book was: Intriguing and different!

I would recommend this book to:  People who like paranormal love stories.

I rate this book:
