Anyone who was at ALA Midwinter would have had the opportunity to meet the very charming Urban Waite. Well, good news for him, The Carrion Birds has received a starred review in Publishers Weekly!
This is one of my favorite books on the list. It’s a terrific, atmospheric and suspenseful novel about a man who desperately wants to leave his life of violence but finds himself impossibly tethered to it.
Reading this book (in one sitting) felt like watching a sepia-toned movie -- with certain parts playing out in painful slow motion.
I loved it, and readers of Dennis Lehane or Cormac McCarthy will most likely devour this.
We’d love to hear what you think, so the first 20 people to write to librarylovefest@harpercollins.com will receive a complimentary copy.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Would love to read "The Carrion Birds" by Urban Waite (wish I could have met the author, too). It looks like it is right down my alley.
