Black Bird of the Gallows by Meg Kassel

I finally got a chance to read an amazing book called Black Bird of the Gallows by Meg Kassel, who
is a Rita Nominee, and is just an amazing author. This book was so incredible that I could not put it down.

The book is about a girl named Angie, who has a crush on her neighbor, but they could never be together for certain reasons, which I do not want to spoil for you. But he is different from everybody at their school, and is fitting in fine and all but he has a big secret that nobody can know about. Angie has a major crush on him not just because he is athletic or tall, but he just didn't seem real. But when Angie is playing her double life as a DJ, bad thing are starting to happen in the small town of Cadence where she lives with her father. But when her neighbor spills his secret to her, she must do everything she can to survive, but still try to stop him from doing something so bad she could even die.

This book was better than I thought it was going to turn out, because I read the first few chapters and just was about ready to put the book back on the shelf and grab a different one. But as I read more I couldn't stop turning the pages. I believe that if this book was turned into a movie it deserves an incredible action scene with music, but of course not all dreams come true. Over all I would give it a pretty good rating. This is truly a 4 1/2 star book!
