PLOT
Miriam Black knows when you will die.
Still in her early twenties, she's foreseen hundreds of car crashes, heart attacks, strokes, suicides, and slow deaths by cancer. But when Miriam hitches a ride with truck driver Louis Darling and shakes his hand, she sees that in thirty days Louis will be gruesomely murdered while he calls her name.
Miriam has given up trying to save people; that only makes their deaths happen. But Louis will die because he met her, and she will be the next victim. No matter what she does she can't save Louis. But if she wants to stay alive, she'll have to try.Stories about girls seeing the future sounds familiar, somebody might have already used that idea but Ihave never read a novel on that theme, thus it is with great pleasure I was able to read Blackbirds. Miriam was sharp-tongued, restless, and had given up hope on changing people's fate. I mean who could anyway? When chance made her meet the driver Louis, hope began gnawing at her, as well as conscience to try saving him from the violent death she had foreseen.
It's really nice to see their relationship develop later on, even though Miriam wants to keep herself from caring about him. When a companion dragged her into a dangerous mess of illegal drugs and psychotic enemies, her resolve to make a change one and for all is quite honorable for her. Gaaaah I love her! Maybe having her as a sister would be so great. Plus Louis is truly lovable too, like a gentle giant (I honestly think that is the best description of him)
and if I am ever going to meet him in their world I would go fangirling on him
I love Urban Fantasies, Dark novels and all, and I could say this one is worth the read (n__n)/
