The pacing creeps slowly at first, but then it soon starts to drip with suspense and tension as both the reader and Andrew delve deeper into what Eddie left behind and try and figure out the people he was spending his time with. It is worth talking about these characters as I found that I started to like them more as the book progressed and where Andrew started to let them in, which felt very natural. Andrew is wary of everyone at first and so is the reader. Andrew is grieving, he’s confused, his head is not the best place to be in, it’s raw and straight-up sad at times. You have Riley as a roommate living with Andrew, wanting to help, asking questions, and encouraging Andrew to continue with Eddie’s research and academic path, then at night, there is Sam, who provides the party, the gasoline, the drugs, and the late night texts. No, but that doesn’t change the fact that he did it. I hate seeing you grasping for straws like this,” she said. Yeah, the friends he didn’t introduce you to and that your parents didn’t invite to his funeral, that sounds great. A super supportive system,” she countered, measured but fierce.No one was coming home. The basket of clothes would remain unwashed, the guitar silent, the beer cans moldering.

I am not the only one to think this, but I would compare this to The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater (one of my all-time favourite book series) perhaps not in writing style, but definitely because of the vibes and some of the characters. Think of the fast cars, night drives, and the street racing with Ronan Lynch in The Dream Thieves, and of the ghostly presence of Noah Czerny. I would even stretch to say it is similar to Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo in the way that the character of Eddie is similar to Ninth House’s Darlington in that he may be missing physically but is very much present and the reader finds out more about him through the story. Summer Sons is a southern summer in book form: hot and hungry and haunting. I couldn't put it down.” — Alix E. Harrow Full of angst and lingering spirits, Mandelo’s debut is like Tennessee molasses—dense, dark, slow-moving, and with a distinct Southern flavor.” — Publishers Weekly This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize the key points.

( October 2021)verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ No season inspires songwriters quite like the summer. Sure, there are artists whose music can be described as ‘autumnal’ or ‘wintry,’ but no musician has ever competed to have ‘the song of spring.’ It’s no wonder, really. If most music is ultimately about conveying a sense of freedom, there’s no time of year that better represents that feeling. Andrew clenched his jaw as his frustration abruptly compounded. It didn’t matter that he’d summarily inherited the entire seven-point-five million dollars Eddie’s late parents had left him a decade ago, not right then. Please just explain it to me, why you’re still going forward with this after he…” she paused. The sun forced her to squint, chin tilted as he turned to stare her straight in the face. “After he did what he did.” Although Summer Sons is keen, appropriately enough, to accelerate into the curves at key moments, its overall pace is strangely meandering. It’s not that it’s a bad mystery, it’s that Andrew is a phenomenally bad detective: only intermittently motivated, not particularly competent, and more emotionally invested in the case than actually focused on solving it. Eddie’s possible murder is the plot’s prime mover, but Andrew’s own trauma, and the complications he entangles himself in, take up far more space:

Her pitying tone, the same he’d heard from the cops and his parents, pushed his temper over the edge. Truly intense: you can smell the blood, the sweat, and the petrol. It absolutely rips.” — Tamsyn Muir The word summer is used in song titles and describes a range of emotions. This article brings to life an epic list of songs with summer in the title. The book also attempts to show the darker side of academia and privilege, but the story isn’t all set on campus and it tries to straddle both worlds. Andrew struggles to attend college in the beginning as his primary motive in being there is to follow in Eddie’s footsteps and he is going round in circles and hitting deadends. One of the best books I have read, the way Andrew’s relationships and self realization develops feels organic. Sam Halse’s character was extremely wellI don’t believe he killed himself. He had no reason to,” he said against his better judgment to the sound of her footsteps crunching behind him, because he didn’t have the fortitude to turn and look her in the face. “I don’t know, Del. Does that sound like Eddie to you? He ever strike you as the type?” At once a raw, beautifully written gothic and an adrenaline-fueled debut, Summer Sons heralds a rich new voice in speculative fiction. Lee Mandelo is for real.” — Andy Davidson
