Description
Every note masks a secret.
A novel of espionage, love, and betrayal in WWII Brazil.
In the glamorous world of 1940s New York, Hattie James is a rising star, enchanting audiences at the iconic Copacabana Club. But her glittering life is shattered by a shocking phone call: her father, a respected diplomat, has been arrested for espionage, accused of aiding Nazi Germany. As her world crumbles, Hattie is plunged into a whirlwind of danger and deceit.
Following her father's dramatic escape and alleged betrayal, Hattie is coerced by the FBI to aid their hunt. Her mission: infiltrate Rio de Janeiro's high society and uncover the truth about her father's loyalties.
In the sultry heat of Rio, Hattie poses undercover as a singer at the Halo Club, owned by enigmatic Maya Reyes. Each performance at this vibrant hotspot brings her closer to the dark secrets entangling the city, and every note she sings could lead to her father—or to a trap set by those who wish to silence her.
When Maya’s sister suddenly goes missing, Hattie unearths a shocking connection between her father and the mysterious SS leader Heinz Baumann. With stakes higher than ever, Hattie finds herself thrust even deeper into a dangerous undercover operation that threatens to put more than just her own life at risk.
Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Kristin Hannah, The Songbird offers a mesmerizing journey through a world where the greatest battles are fought in the shadows, and love might be the most dangerous weapon of all.

So, this one was totally a wild ride—like, so much going on, but in a way that keeps you hooked. You’ve got glamorous settings, shady secrets, and all these hidden agendas happening in the background. Our girl finds herself in the middle of this dangerous situation, and things get messy. There’s undercover action, some really tense moments, and you’re never really sure who’s on whose side.
Honestly, it had me guessing the whole time, but just when you think things are clearing up, something even more intense drops. It’s all very mysterious and a little bit dramatic in the best way. I will say, though, there were a few threads I wish had tied up a bit more, but still, super enjoyable.
If you're into a little suspense and intrigue with a dash of glamour, this one’s for you.
I'd like to thank Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I just finished reading The Songbird and really loved this book. Fairly early on in the book the book became intense. You didn’t need to wait until you were half way through the book for the book to get interesting. It was interesting from the get-o.
I loved all of the characters in the book and grew to hate Baumann and his sick hunting game. Hattie is willing to take big risks throughout the story. It was a book that I couldn’t put down.
I would like to thank Seven River Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review of this book.

This was my first novel by this author, but not my last. I was so intrigued in the story about Hattie James and her father. She is a singer at the Copacabana Club in the 1940’s in New York. Her father is a long-time respected diplomat.
She gets a call no daughter would want to get. Her father is arrested for espionage, and to make matters worse it is to help Nazi Germany.
Soon her father has escaped and the FBI is all over Hattie and feel she MUST help them find her father.
I DO NOT want to spoil any of this novel, BECAUSE its is so harrowing, descripting, shocking and a fresh TWIST in Historical fiction, deserving all the stars!
