Blackbird Keep (First Love from Silhouette) [Paperback]

Jesse Osburn (Author), Candice Ransom (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Spending the summer with relatives, Holly makes friends with an intelligent crow, solves the mystery of a Faberge brooch missing for 25 years and helps her cousin become less of an obnoxious loner. She finds romance, naturally, after a rocky start. The characters are far more fleshed-out than in the typical series romance, the writing is smooth, and the heroine is funny and believable.
