The Summer House by Keri Beevis

-

Welcome to my stop on Rachel’s Random Resources tour for The Summer House. Doesn't this cover just speak to you and say read me??? A dark house lit up from the inside. What is going on in there?



About the Book:

Mead House was once our childhood home.

Despite my fears, I always knew we would have to return to face the demons of our past.

Back to the place where it happened, to where, as carefree teenagers, we lost our elder sister in the most brutal of circumstances.

As executors of our grandmother’s will, my twin brother, Ollie, and I needed to empty the house for resale.

What I didn’t expect to discover was my sister’s secret journal that contained her most private thoughts and shocking dark secrets.

Now I am questioning everything that I saw that night. Did I get it wrong, who I saw?

Did my evidence send an innocent man, my then boyfriend's brother, to jail for the last 17 years?

I know I have no choice. If I want to find answers, I will have to go back to that fateful night my sister died. When she made her last visit to the summer house.

Review:

The Summer House is not a pleasant place as you will find out in the first chapter. Family comes home to deal with a grandmother's estate and things from the past come back that they can't ignore. What I loved most about the book was how the characters interacted with each other. So many devious characters! It is hard to tell if I liked or hated a character but regardless I enjoyed reading about them.

About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure.

When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part!
