Review:
*** stars

Crow Flight has alot of crows and like the name suggests surprisingly the book is literally about crow flights. The name spiked alot of interest for me, and in the start it really hooked me on by its mysterious writing.
Gin- Regina Hartson is our sweet teenager who is a little awkward and heavily relies on logic. If you bring her something that is proved by numbers she is bound to accept it. Brought up by a genius programmer she is Gin at an early age takes interest in computer modeling, so much so as a highschooler she has modeled enough programs to helps her run her life smoothly.
Felix Gartner- the new guy in school, is the only son of the biggest tech company in the country. But that's not what stands out to Gin, but his weird habit of talking to crows
This is where the book really got my hopes up. I wanted to see something supernatural but the book has something better. Susan really brings the mystery off the pages with Gin and Felix's interaction. Even though there are a few traits that you always see in a protagonist that can put you off, she manages to bring new colors to them.
The only problem I seem to have was the pacing, to me it seemed a little long with we going over the same situation. There are great conflicts and real stakes to Gin story.
The beginning and ending of the story is great. I could not stop reading once I got past the second act.
Susan has created good character even the ones you see rarely have an impact and have a life of their own. I loved, Hannah and Gin's relationship and I did feel bad for Lucas a lot.
There are moments in the book where you really want to skip a few pages to find out if everything is ok? (I controlled that urge)
Disclaimer: I was provided with a ARC of this book by Netgalley so I could give an honest review.
