A girl wakes up on the train tracks, a subway car barreling down on her. With only minutes to react, she hunches down and the train speeds over her. She doesn’t remember her name, where she is, or how she got there. She has a tattoo on the inside of her right wrist of a blackbird inside a box, letters and numbers printed just below: FNV02198. There is only one thing she knows for sure: people are trying to kill her.
On the run for her life, she tries to untangle who she is and what happened to the girl she used to be. Nothing and no one are what they appear to be. But the truth is more disturbing than she ever imagined.
The Maze Runner series meets Code Name Verity, Blackbird is relentless and action-packed, filled with surprising twists.
This read is told in second person which is pretty unique. The first book I read in second person was Bright Lights, Big City and while it took a moment to adjust the viewpoint grew on me. I am also really excited about a mystery thriller, which I haven't seen much of in YA. I'm waiting for a breath of fresh air!
This looks great. I am also curious to read a book written in 2nd person. I don't believe I ever have. Thank you for sharing!
