Reese was waiting in the airport when it began. First, she noticed birds plummeting out of the sky and splattering on the tarmac below. Then the news reports came in: bird strikes causing plane crashes all over the continent. She was suddenly glad that her flight was delayed. But with all the planes grounded while the crashes are investigated, Reese has to find another way home, through now-panicked towns and across the desert. It's a trip that would change her forever--and she can't even remember what happened.
Malinda Lo is a local author and the novel has a distinct San Francisco flare. I found the premise interesting, and I love how the voice of every character was really allowed to shine. I'd give this to fans of science fiction who appreciate both action and character development. Fans of conspiracy theories and aliens will enjoy this novel in particular.
