Gifts From Crows is a perfect book to curl up on the couch with a giant mug of tea. The book draws you in so deep you won't want to put it down. If I had to describe the 'tone' of the story, it would be like watching a suspense movie but in black and white. Even if something funny or lighthearted was happening on screen, there is always this eerie darkness lingering in the foreground.
The ending was perfectly well-rounded and fulfilling, but there is so much more to be explored.
I need a second book!

Praise & Reviews
Gifts From Crows is truly a captivating page-turner. Set far in the future, the story follows a brave young girl and her only companion— a black crow. It was one of those books that I could not read fast enough! I had to know why Everest was the way she was, where she was going, and what would happen to her in the end. Gifts From Crows is the perfect book for anyone looking for an easy yet profound read. I can’t wait to read what Marsh will write next.

This book was very intriguing and always kept me wanting to read more. All the foreshadowing and interactions were INCREDIBLE in this story. Everything was explained in perfect detail, but just enough to keep the imagination of the story flowing. The mystery that the book has was encrypted perfectly. The cliff hangers behind each chapter always made me wanting for more! If you’re in for a fun and yet thrilling book that always keeps you guessing, this book is definitely a must read.
