Those who wish to see the dark, be ready to pay your price. The Night of Souls—when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest—is only days away. Albion is at war . . . and losing. And fifteen-year-old Kate Winters has just raised a blackbird from the dead. As her home is torn apart, Kate's discovery that she is one of the rare people who can cross the veil between life and death makes her the most hunted person in all of Albion. Captured and taken to the graveyard city of Fume—where her parents met their deaths ten years ago—Kate must harness her extraordinary powers to save herself, her country, and the two men she cares for most. And she'll make a pact with a murderer to do it.

The beginning of this read was frustrating for me because I kept trying to fit the setting into some version of our world, and it doesn’t quite go. So I won’t be adding this to the historical fantasy page because, although the world looks slightly Victorian, the history doesn’t work. Generally speak...
First, let me say this: my sister bought this book, Shadowcry, from Barnes and Noble. I didn't know a thing about it when she stopped reading it halfway through, but I was bored, so I decided to pick it up. Somewhere in chapter four or five, I began to wonder why the book was called Shadowcry, and w...
rating: 3.5My Thoughts: I liked parts of this book better than I liked it as a whole. The last quarter really saved it.There was too much time with the capture and transfer of Kate to Fume. It got rather boring when you already knew the outcome just from the summary.The characters weren't very inspi...
