Whispersync Daily Deal: Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig, narrated by Emily Beresford

Saturday, February 1, 2014: Today brings Chuck Wendig’s Blackbirds to the Kindle Daily Deal list at $1.99, with a $0.99 Whispersync for Voice upgrade to the Audible edition, read by Emily Beresford for Angry Robot on Brilliance Audio. It’s the first of his “Miriam Black” books (followed by Mockingbird and The Cormorant) and I’ve been looking for just this kind of excuse to pick up book one:
![Blackbirds | [Chuck Wendig]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61urjLJIHTL._SL300_.jpg)
“Miriam Black knows when you will die. Still in her early twenties, she’s foreseen hundreds of car crashes, heart attacks, strokes, suicides, and slow deaths by cancer. But when Miriam hitches a ride with truck driver Louis Darling and shakes his hand, she sees that in thirty days Louis will be gruesomely murdered while he calls her name. Miriam has given up trying to save people; that only makes their deaths happen. But Louis will die because he met her, and she will be the next victim. No matter what she does she can’t save Louis. But if she wants to stay alive, she’ll have to try.”
