![]() ![]() ![]() “I’ll drive you to Dallas myself if I have to,” Rosalee muttered to herself, ignoring me. I loved Hanna’s dauntlessness and her ability to act certain when she is very far from certain. I do this thing where I sit with my big bag of books, and I read a few chapters of each one. The whole: Of my most recent batch of library books, Bleeding Violet was the book I felt most certain I was going to enjoy after reading a few pages. The end (spoilers in this section only, so skip ahead if you don’t want to know): Rosalee lets Hanna stay. In her first week at school, she accidentally helps defeat some evil creatures that suck everything good out of you if you lean against a window too long, and leave a person-shaped glass shell behind and that isn’t close to the scariest thing in the town of Portero. The town of Portero is home to more weird and crazy than Hanna’s mind was ever capable of dreaming up. Turns out she doesn’t know from weird and crazy. Hanna’s fear is that she will be too weird and crazy for her mother and her new town. Now, with her father dead and her aunt Ulla unable to deal with a manic-depressive niece, Hanna has come from Finland to Portero, Texas, to make her home with her mother, Rosalee. The only family Hanna has ever known were her father and his (Finnish) relatives. The beginning: A teenager sneaks into her estranged mother’s house in Texas, desperately hoping that she will be allowed to stay. ![]()
