but she's smart, knows how to blend

Blackbird is a book that was waiting to read since I read the synopsis, because I am intrigued by stories dealing with memory loss and the mystery around it trying to out whom she really is.

The story starts when a girl wakes up in the subway tracks and the train car approaching her and she has to make a quick decision and somehow she survives and is rescued, when questioned, she realizes that she has no memory, doesn't remember anything about herself and when searching through the backpack beside her, she finds some instructions to follow, so without knowing she ends up being chased by both the police and from unknown people trying to kill her ... but she has not the slightest idea of what is going on, she finds help with a boy that she meets that first day, meanwhile  she tries to figure out what's going on with her and who she really is.

Sunny (is the name she adopts) is a girl who knows nothing about her past, but she's smart, knows how to blend, is observant and is slowly discovering new things about her. Her situation reminded me a bit of Jason Bourne (first movie, I haven't read the books).

The story is told in second person (using "You"), something that annoyed me most of the time and it wasn't easy to get used to this form of narration,

Blackbird is the first book of this duology, is a story about a girl with amnesia that is wanted by the police and pursued by people who want her dead, so it has enough action, chases, mystery, intrigue, suspense and a rather unexpected turn (I didn't see it coming), has a good ending that leaves you hooked for the next book. My only "but" is the narrative in second person, but I sort of enjoyed it.

This is something that she can work on and design herself with a bit of direction, so she was excited.

Though she talks as  a sculptress, you realize she is learning what it takes to be a good author. It takes an incredible discipline. And internal selfishness. She opens eyes.

I love her phrasing. Every note has something clever going on. There is a sophistication and maturity in her playing that few guitarists manage.

I'm definitely going to have to buy everything she ever releases.

Robin Hudson is a smarmy, smart-mouth, slightly dumpy, quite rumpled, cable news reporter. Her independent streak ensures she can't maintain friends, husband, or good investigative assignments. But she's getting real good at attracting blackmailing and stumbling over corpses. Hmmm...Will a good brain, determination, a smart.attitude, and a Rita Hayworth figure, be her protection--or the instruments of her demise?

I reviewed a digital ARC generously provided by the publisher via NetGalley for the sole purpose of my fair and honest review. No fees were exchanged.

She has an amazing and thorough "take" on people, so smart yet so giving and humble.  Love her and love her work.

I'm a pretty intelligent female, and I try to do things on my own so that I can learn, but figuring this out was difficult. I had to have a friend help. But it works great!

She is still getting used to the extra layer between her and the chair, but so far helping with some issues she was having.

Many good songs and she is very talented. A few songs use electronic sounds that take away from her skills.
