![]() ![]() Living with an aunt she doesn’t know well, Rumi initially struggles to connect to others. Her mom is so wrapped in grief that she ships Rumi off to Hawai’i (where her mom’s originally from) for the summer. Rumi loses her sister (and best friend), Lea, in a car accident that she and her mom survive. But she did it, as the 4-star rating attests. So Akemi Dawn Bowman set herself a tall order, impressing me despite these preferences of mine. Also, I’m not a big fan of musical novels-that is, books that incorporate songs or music as a part of the plot. ![]() But the raw grief at the beginning of Summer Bird Blue made this a challenging read. Maybe it’s because I haven’t yet experienced that type of grief in my life. I tried reading another YA novel similar to this one in terms of dealing with a recent death, and I ended up abandoning it-not because it was bad, but because there was something about the rawness of the emotion that made it a difficult read. ![]() I’m having a hard time with books about grief lately. ![]()

![]() ![]() Mahogany Sin is Chicago author Kellee Gilmore’s first book. At times you will feel a bit naughty reading it, but it’s the good kind of naughty. Mahogany Sin is definitely one to add to your collection if you love paranormal work that contains a heated sexual atmosphere. Kellee is descriptive without being vulgar. You know it’s coming (after all, it is paranormal fiction) and when it is finally revealed it is both devastating and enticing, and done in such a way that you find yourself lost inside the pages all over again.įair warning: there is some adult content that was a bit more than I expected, but I have no complaints. All the while you are reading this book, you are waiting for it. ![]() The paranormal twist to this story is one that is completely unanticipated and is very well done.
