Blackbirds

With a touch, Miriam Black knows how you're going to die. Usually Miriam's okay with this. She meets a lot of lowlifes, you see, so knowing when they're going to die makes it easy for her to be there when they do kick it, allowing her to pick up any valuables they're leaving behind. Louis is different, though. He's a good man, a kind soul. So when Miriam touches him, and realizes that she's going to be instrumental in his death, she takes it a little hard.

This was a really fun read. It's dark, and it's pretty gruesome at times, but no matter how dark it gets you're drawn in by the sense of urgency that Wendig writes with. He's got an acerbic comic tone to the darkness that he provides, as well, which helps preventing it from becoming too macabre.

Recommended for horror fans who like some sarcastic humour with their murders, and urban fantasy fans looking for something on the dark side.
