Black Bird of the Gallows by Meg Kassel5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() The romance between Angie and Reece was just about perfect with the right amount of build-up plus context that makes it believable and not just insta-love. Although mildly scary, I think it is tempered by the YA category and appropriate for all teens- this is definitely not a horror although there is significant death as suggested by the summary. As the book develops, we learn there is so much more at play with the harbingers of death and beekeepers. Although Reece seems to fit into a different crowd (the popular, athletic one), he seems to have taken an interest in Angie as well. Her life begins to change when a new boy moves in next door, and she finds herself undeniably attracted to him. ![]() Aside from her kind father, she enjoys making music with her friends and DJs at THE hang-out spot in Cadence, The Strip Mall, as her alter-ego Sparo. ![]() She carries the weight of it with her always. It's a past she is unable to live down, as people at school won't let her forget. She spent the first part of it living with her drug-addicted mother in a van without a stable home and came to live with her father right before her mother overdosed. "Black Bird of the Gallows" is a truly unique and enthralling YA paranormal romance. ![]()
