I lived every little detail with them both throughout this book, regardless of how horrible. It was a rollercoaster I was only too happy to jump on. I can't recommend this book highly enough * Books n Boys Book Blog *I'm not quite sure how it happened so fast. One word can describe this novel for me. Turmoil. Complete Turmoil. The. Entire. Time. One minute my heart was in my throat the next it was in my stomach. I didn't know if I wanted it to stop beating or continue. Crazy * The Review Loft *There were quite a few twists and turns along the way. If you enjoy a bit of danger and action, this book delivers it in spades. In fact, Blackbird was every bit as much of an organized crime romance as it was a captivity-themed romance * Book Addict Haven *This book was definitely an emotional experience in itself and I think this book will stay with me for awhile. All I can say is go out and one-click this book, what are you waiting for?! One click this bad boy and I promise you won't regret it! Molly McAdams has one heck of a brilliant talent and I can't wait till her next book! * Romance Readers Retreat *[Molly] is just an amazing author that has the ability to bring us thrilling stories that twist and turn and you think they will go one way and only to end up going a completely different way. She continually brings us tragic love stories that seem hopeless only to have your heart filled with love when you finish. Blackbird is no exception. I just fell in love with this story and was consumed by the story. I could not put it down! This is one I HIGHLY recommend!! * Just Me and My Kindle *This is a book that deserves more than simple words can say. Molly McAdams, you have created a novel that is beyond incredible. You have created a book that left this fan (and hopefully new fans too!) speechless. You did a magnificent job on this one and I am anxiously awaiting the release of the next book in the series! * Caffeinated Reads *Blackbird was a wild, racy ride on the dark side and it was handled with the best of intentions for these characters. It's one that will surprise you to the very end * Book Reader Chronicles *This storyline was so different and unique that it kept me wanting more. Bottom line this is a must read story. I loved every minute of it * TDC Book Reviews *This was the first book I've read by McAdams, and bloody hell am I a fan! I knew! I kind of knew right from the beginning of the prologue that I was either going to end up loving the shit out of it, or freaking hating it...because experience. And god did I want to love it * Reading Under Street Lamps *I really enjoyed this story and I loved the fact that it had just the right amount of suspense to keep my interest and it wasn't overdone. Briar and Lucas had an extremely complicated and I was extremely nervous but excited at the same time. Yes I'm sick in the head but you guys already knew that. This author kept me on the edge of my seat just waiting with bated breaths because I didn't know what was going to happen and I freakin LOVED that * Chatterbooks Book Blog *This book did what every other Molly McAdams book has done to me. It made me start down the rabbit hole of re-reading all her books and that is the best feeling. This book will be out of your comfort zone, but it will certainly be worth it * Drunk On A Book *
