![]() ![]() But it is real: the ability of this writer to convey such realistic emotions and situations in words is to be admired. It is passionate and touching, and sad too, very sad. It's one of those books that, sadly, I know I can't do justice to with my review. I Voluntarily Reviewed an Arc Copy of this Amazing Book. This is the first book that I have read by Lily Foster and I can't wait to read more of her books in the future as it was so well written and a absolutely amazing story. ![]() There are many twists and turns along with danger, hope, love, secrets, loss, pain and many emotional situations that had me in tears with everything that Grace had gone through on her own and yet I couldn't believe how strong she was but yet broken at the same time and this story completely broke me apart and I felt like I was going through everything with her. The characters and storyline pulled you in right from the first page and I couldn't put this book down as I had to keep turning the pages to see what would happen next and it was such a story full of pain and it was so addictive. Damien is in the military and on leave for six weeks he meets Grace and he wants to spend as much time as he can with her and get to know her but he is also there for his best friend who has just got out of the military after there past deployment and he is really suffering so Damien is being pulled in many directions and the more time that Grace and Damien spend together the more they fall for each other but time is ticking as Damien is due to be deployed again but what happens next is the biggest shock. Grace is a high school teacher but she hides behind everything that life has thrown at her and her life is a complete charade and even the people closest to be doesn't know what she has gone through or the secrets that she has kept from them. Grace's story starts when she meets Damien but what follows will break you and then put you back together again. This is book three in The Blackbird Series and it is Grace's story and omg what a story it is. The Blackbird series by Lily Foster is intended for readers 18 and older due to mature language and sexual content. Reaching up to touch that spot on the back of my neck, I know I’ll never forget you. But I won’t do that because someday you might come looking for me. The rock I’m standing on is icy, and this isn’t the first time I’ve been tempted to let myself go, to slip and sink under. The January wind whips my hair and freezes the stray tears on my cheeks. Without you, I’m nothing more than a ghost on the shore. It’s like living in a house of cards with a hurricane bearing down on you. I’ve got my dream job, I’ve got family-even got myself a good man. I’ve told so many lies, kept so much of myself hidden that I feel like an imposter in this life I’ve built. I’ll never forget the day I decided to take up blues harmonica.How many times have I stood on the bank of this river feeling the weight of the things I’ve done?Īfter all these years, I don’t know if I come here for you, if I come here looking for forgiveness, or if I come here trying to find myself. I was 18 years old, doing a crappy internship in a run-down part of the most boring town in England, and I decided to go shopping for music in my lunch hour. I can’t remember where I found the CD, but I do remember it just jumped right out of the shelf at me: Blue Skies, by some soulful-looking fellow named Muddy Waters. I don’t recall the first listening per se, and yet I know exactly how it must have felt, because this bellowing, ball-tightening number still sends giant surges of electricity down the ole tendons. With Muddy on vocals, Willie Big Eyes Smith on drums, Bob Margolin on guitar and Johnny Winter on slide, the track’s signature riff has James Cotton on harp. I’d never heard of James Cotton, but that electric riff came shredding through my earphones like demonic buzz-saws being shot outta Satan’s crossbow.Īs I later learned, this was a compilation comprising tracks from the three smoking studio albums Muddy Waters cut with Blues Sky records: Hard Again (with James Cotton), I’m Ready (with Big Walter Horton and Jerry Portnoy) and King Bee (with Portnoy). It also featured two live tracks from Muddy “Mississippi” Waters – Live. ![]() So basically, the first straight blues album I bought featured three of the best blues harpers you could expect to find in a studio in the mid-70s. I didn’t know it, but I’d just purchased a blues harmonica master class. Rarely does a single compilation cover so vast an array of skills and techniques in blues harmonica. ![]()
