Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe is such an intriguing novel by Heather Webber. I read the first few pages and was instantly drawn in by the magic of the blackbirds and the family drama that slowly is revealed through the whole book. This is one of those books that you just don't want to put down until you reach the end of the book. This book takes place in a small town of Wicklow were a report is reporting on the not-so-rare occurrence of blackbirds as to the rest of N. America they are rarely seen. However, in Wicklow they are very common and the residents don't see what the big deal of them are. Anna Kate and Natalie are both back in Wicklow after leaving and are soon drawn together to discover the past family secrets. They both discover love in this small town and uncover the hurt and anger from the past. They both go through family struggles and heart ache. I definitely found myself connecting to the characters more than once and feeling their heart breaks. Anna Kate's grandmother Zee knew exactly what she was doing when she requested that Anna Kate ran her restaurant for 60 days before having the chance to sell the business for her right in Zee's inheritance for her. Anna Kate and Natalie find exactly what they were looking for by the end of the book with all the beautifully written magical realism. This novel was so well written and i can't wait to discover more of Heather Webber's novels.
