I truly wish this book great success when it comes out in September and hope everyone will pick up a copy and enjoy it.Genre: YA-Paranormal-Contemporary-Fantasy-Romance-ARCĪ simple but forgotten truth: Where harbingers of death appear, the morgues will soon be full.Īngie Dovage can tell there’s more to Reece Fernandez than just the tall, brooding athlete who has her classmates swooning, but she can’t imagine his presence signals a tragedy that will devastate her small town. Meg Kassel created a fascinating tale with crows and bees that will capture the attention of many readers. For a debut book, it ranks high on my list. From the cover to the story, i definitely enjoyed the originality of this book and the the drama escalated as the story came to an end. Hopefully the story continues and I get my wish. for me, i wanted an ultimate showdown between the beekeepers and the harbingers of death. Like all debut books, there are going to be little things you didn't like or wish that were added. some of the elements in this book reminded me of the movie 'The Birds' directed by Alfred Hitchcock, instead the evil villains were the bees. I haven't read anything in the past or recently about crows or deranged bees. I love when authors stray away from whats common and safe and develop their own unique path that can compete with the rest of the book world (if that makes any sense). well, its all about the story itself and the unique mythology around it. So you guys get the point and are thinking how is this story any different from books you have read in the past. Nevertheless, she feels continuously drawn to him despite her better judgment, and despite his dodgy behavior.

Between Reece’s familiarity with the crows and his warnings to keep away from the bees, Angie is certain there is something unusual about this boy.

Reece’s arrival brings about a variety of alarming incidents in Angie’s hometown– crows arrive in large numbers and begin behaving strangely( i don't really know how normal crows behave), if that isn't strange enough bee start stinging people and making them act crazy in the middle of winter. I don't want ti give too much away because I really want everyone to enjoy this book as much as I did (i don't recommend reading while crossing the street). 'Black bird of the Gallows' follows Angie Dovage, our heroine and Reece Fernandez.

I was lucky enough to have both gotten a copy and met the author, who was amazingly nice.
