Book Review - Bluebird by Sharon Cameron + Giveaway

 

In  1946, Eva was given the opportunity to leave behind the rubble of Berlin for the streets of New York City. Eva managed to escape the aftermath of the war but, ends up being a pawn in a struggle for power and intelligence. Eva knows the details behind a secret powerful project called Bluebird. Project Bluebird encapsulates the knowledge gained from performing mind experiments on people in the concentration camps. The knowledge can be deadly and tip the scale of power if landed in the wrong hands. Both the Americans and the Soviets want the details of the project and are willing to stop at nothing to get it.

Eva didn't come to America to be a pawn for the Americans or the Soviets. She doesn't want a new life either. She wants justice against one specific Nazi that managed to escape justice for their crimes. Eva is willing to put everything on the line to get it.

I thought the book was an interesting historic read. I never knew about project Bluebird specifically so, it was interesting to learn more about it from the author's notes. The narrative and the character interactions were confusing at times to follow along and long winded. I felt that some of the interaction between Eva and Jake didn't feel authentic at times. Overall, it's a good book for readers who love historic fiction novels.

Author of Reese's Book Club YA Pick The Light in Hidden Places, Sharon Cameron, delivers an emotionally gripping and utterly immersive thriller, perfect for fans of Ruta Sepetys's Salt to the Sea.

A historical novel, set in postwar New York City.

In 1946, Eva leaves behind the rubble of Berlin for the streets of New York City, stepping from the fiery aftermath of one war into another, far colder one, where power is more important than principles, and lies are more plentiful than the truth. Eva holds the key to a deadly secret: Project Bluebird -- a horrific experiment of the concentration camps, capable of tipping the balance of world power. Both the Americans and the Soviets want Bluebird, and it is something that neither should ever be allowed to possess.

But Eva hasn't come to America for secrets or power. She hasn't even come for a new life. She has come to America for one thing: justice. And the Nazi that has escaped its net.
