Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe

I absolutely loved this book! Being raised in Alabama myself , I totally relate to how people in the South treat each other with kindness known as southern hospitality. The detail in this book on the characters made me feel like I was back at home in Alabama enjoying a glass of sweet tea on the front porch in a rocking chair. The Roll Tide part from Bow was perfect. The only thing this book needed was a Roll Tide greeting. This is a southern drama filled with questions about what happened the day Anna Kate's mother and father were driving and somehow wrecked ending in tragedy. Anna Kate inherits the Blackbird Cafe and has to make a few decisions that could change her life forever. This is my new favorite book this year and possibly the best I will read! Amazing storytelling by Heather Webber and I can't wait to read more books by this author.

I was very lucky to receive an ARC from the publisher. I am really enjoying these books about little southern towns that have a touch of magic! The magic is usually not too prevalent, but it is needed to draw in the main character, this time it is Anna Kate, to figure out what she wants and whether or not to stay in the town of Wicklow. These southern books are always about finding out where you belong and how good friends and family are so important. Anna Kate comes to the town of Wicklow for her Grandma's funeral and to sell the cafe that Granny Zee used to run. But this is a special cafe, with very special pies that only certain people can make properly, Anna Kate being one of them. It is a fun ride of a story with lots of interesting characters and it has a sweet ending. I would love to be able to try a piece of one of those blackbird pies!
