Rain City Lights by Marissa Harrison

3.0

First off, I want to thank Marissa Harrison and MTMC Tours for gifting me a copy of this book. I must admit, I don’t read many contemporaries or thrillers, but this book definitely screamed at me to give it a chance, and I am so glad it did! This book was emotional, and really offered a look into the lives of people suffering with drug addiction, poverty, racism, and homophobia. Our main character, Monti, is incredibly strong and passionate about her family and friend Sasha. I felt like out of all the characters we were introduced to, I connected to her the most. She desperately sought ways to help her mom and she hated accepting any sort of charity. Her need to help her mom was fueled more by the rising of a murderer that sought out black prostitutes, and she feared her mother could be next. This book really makes you question everyone that Monti comes into contact with. Are they the murderer?
