Welcome to Blackbird Hollow is the world we get when two amazing authors come together and create a story that has a bit of everything that I love in it. This world reads as if Stars Hollow and Twin Peaks and Wayward Pines all came together in a world with the scary kind of Fae and dubious government agencies. We get to explore a world that reads a bit dystopian/alternate history, full of folklore and conspiracy and a whole lot of unanswered questions. Blackbird Hollow is a place that attracts people who belong – who are willing to become part of the community – and is built upon legacy and survival.

What I love about Alice is her search to find somewhere to belong, to feel at home. Wyatt is trying to keep his family together, and is not looking for complications. But complications (and a bit of insta-love) manage to fall into his lap in the form of Alice when she rolls into town. They both join forces to find out what is happening to missing hikers, prepare for the Wild Hunt that is on the way, and learn just why the government is still tracking Alice.

Outside of Alice and Wyatt, my favorite relationship may just be Alice and Fallon. This story is so much about finding family, finding your place, and not being afraid to stay instead of run. THe entire surrounding cast of characters adds so much depth to the story and world, and I know we are just beginning to unravel a whole host of mysteries.

In Blackbird Hollow we get humor, heart, and hope. Which is all we can ask for sometimes.
