In the Shadow of Blackbirds

Author: Cat Winters
Stars: 5
Review by: libraryaimee

This is a young adult book that takes place during the end of WWI in San Diego during the Spanish flu epidemic. Spiritualism in the city was huge at this time and people flocked to photographers in hopes of having dead loved ones appear. The book veers into supernatural with an actual ghost, but the mystery surrounding the death of person (pre-ghost) is suspenseful and frightening. Each chapter includes an old photo in which a "ghost" appeared. Loved it!
