Blackbird - was one of the most unusual novels I read in 2014. It had a very interesting story line and the writing, done in second person narration, added that flare that made it worth reading. Not only that, it ended on quite the cliff hanger so I was eager to dive into Deadfall.
Deadfall, was even BETTER than it's predecessor. The race is on to take down those hunting the teens - and the game of hunter vs hunted turns. It's exhilarating and intense; keeping you on your toes throughout the whole novel. Many questions that were left unanswered were answered, and I loved getting the details surrounding this morbid game these people play.
In Blackbird, I wasn't too keen on the added POVs that were thrown in. But in Deadfall, I quite enjoyed them. There is a lot going on, more than what surrounds Sunny/(we learn her name but I'm not sharing) and it helps us to learn more about the other people involved and WHY. Sunny is still having dreams of her time on the island, and I enjoyed these, too. Her and Rafe were close on the island, and I loved seeing the flashbacks of their time together and what else happened there.
We don't know everything - and you wont know everything - but that's okay. Even though the story is done being told, it's not over. The ending left on a bittersweet note - something MAJOR happens that had me reeling. Not to say I liked it, but it adds to scary severity of the situation. But my heart was aching.
Beautiful writing, intense, non stop action and a story that will stick with you for a while. What's not to love? I highly recommend it.
