![]() So yes, the third part of the book was necessary, but I found the ending, while satisfying for my taste, a little too open (so 4 stars and not 5). Especially if you have sincere feelings for your possibly partner and really want his/her happiness. But Grace's path was necessary: you can't build a relationship, one that lasts, pretending to be someone else or without first solving those problems that keep you stuck. In the second part, I appreciated the character of Owen, his being so solid and positive despite the personal difficulties he had. I was hoping that, in her journey in search of the past, Grace could meet him and share her mourning with him, instead of with Gianna. And I was hoping that Eli, despite everything, had managed to recover. It is impossible, in the first part, not to feel the love that springs between Damian and Grace, the concern for Eli, the bewilderment and sadness of Grace, then her pain, and this love that remains with her, for Damian and for Birdie, always. ![]() But inside, she feels like an empty shell. When we meet Grace, we see from her point of view that she survive by hiding behind a facade of happiness and satisfaction. There are two love story: the first is a love story between young characters (twenties), the second is set fifteen years later. It's the third book in a series, so some things about Grace showed up in the previous books, but I skipped the second one and kept up anyway. But it is real: the ability of this writer to convey such realistic emotions and situations in words is to be admired. It is passionate and touching, and sad too, very sad. It's one of those books that, sadly, I know I can't do justice to with my review. I Voluntarily Reviewed an Arc Copy of this Amazing Book. This is the first book that I have read by Lily Foster and I can't wait to read more of her books in the future as it was so well written and a absolutely amazing story. ![]() There are many twists and turns along with danger, hope, love, secrets, loss, pain and many emotional situations that had me in tears with everything that Grace had gone through on her own and yet I couldn't believe how strong she was but yet broken at the same time and this story completely broke me apart and I felt like I was going through everything with her. The characters and storyline pulled you in right from the first page and I couldn't put this book down as I had to keep turning the pages to see what would happen next and it was such a story full of pain and it was so addictive. Damien is in the military and on leave for six weeks he meets Grace and he wants to spend as much time as he can with her and get to know her but he is also there for his best friend who has just got out of the military after there past deployment and he is really suffering so Damien is being pulled in many directions and the more time that Grace and Damien spend together the more they fall for each other but time is ticking as Damien is due to be deployed again but what happens next is the biggest shock. Grace is a high school teacher but she hides behind everything that life has thrown at her and her life is a complete charade and even the people closest to be doesn't know what she has gone through or the secrets that she has kept from them. Grace's story starts when she meets Damien but what follows will break you and then put you back together again. This is book three in The Blackbird Series and it is Grace's story and omg what a story it is. The Blackbird series by Lily Foster is intended for readers 18 and older due to mature language and sexual content. ![]() Reaching up to touch that spot on the back of my neck, I know I’ll never forget you. But I won’t do that because someday you might come looking for me. The rock I’m standing on is icy, and this isn’t the first time I’ve been tempted to let myself go, to slip and sink under. The January wind whips my hair and freezes the stray tears on my cheeks. Without you, I’m nothing more than a ghost on the shore. It’s like living in a house of cards with a hurricane bearing down on you. I’ve got my dream job, I’ve got family-even got myself a good man. I’ve told so many lies, kept so much of myself hidden that I feel like an imposter in this life I’ve built. How many times have I stood on the bank of this river feeling the weight of the things I’ve done?Īfter all these years, I don’t know if I come here for you, if I come here looking for forgiveness, or if I come here trying to find myself.
