I hate people who complain about being rich. And, I didn't care for Dallas and her flippant attitude toward being rich and having a second sight. The epilogue is a tad confusing and I almost stopped there it was a string of contradictions relatives having good luck they were millionaires, but dying tragically. Avery, tied to the chapel by his guilt hears her plea and decides to do something about it. Seeking solace in a burned chapel she pours her soul out over a stolen bible that she can't even read. She is a woman weighed down by the attention of her master and his son. This is the story of an oppressed slave, Luna. The best way I can describe this is, if "Interview with a vampire" was the grandfather of "Vampire Diaries" and that book had a baby with "Wench" than you would get "dark genesis" The characters rich story fully comes alive on the pages, you see and live with Luna, you fall in love with Avery and by the end you want nothing more than to hold him in your arms and keep him safe. This book is awesome! No really, it's so good that I laughed and cried and now I demand another.

The bird box didn’t seem to be a very big part of the plot, but the author thought it was important enough to merit the title. I’d be curious to see how this could be made into a film when so much of it is about not being able to see. Fortunately, it has been optioned for film. We were both afraid she’d be eaten! The man at the end is even named Rick, the main character from ‘The Walking Dead.’ In fact, this book was ready to publish in 2007 but publishers delayed publication date because they felt the market was too saturated with the genre. A fellow member and I were reminded of Terminus when Malorie reached the school. There were a lot of comparisons to ‘The Walking Dead’ in our discussion. Especially when he sets his book in your local area (though you’re unable to identify the river in the book) and one of his friends from high school is in your book club!
