 3.5 stars 
 New to me author, Kim Karr, took me to places in The 27 Club I've never been before, and I don't get to say that very often. It was very different than anything I've read in a while which was refreshing. Not only was it steamy, it was thought-provoking, and I will forever enjoy a good book that keeps my mind engaged and engrossed. The 27 Club is a contemporary love story about a woman who thinks she knows what she wants, who she is, and where she's headed, but all that is thrown out the window when she comes face to face with her dead brother's best friend, and everything she thought she knew about her future and her brother's past is about to change. 
 Everyone in Zoey's family dies when they're 27, so when her 27th birthday rolls around she decides it's time to go and see where her brother lived out the last years of his short life and to take care of some of his financials. What she doesn't expect to happen while she's there is to question everything she's ever known to be true, mostly about him, but including what she considers to be her destiny. Meeting Nate, her brother's best friend, causes her to want to live and for her destiny to be something else besides joining the 27 club. 
 Nate and Zoey are grieving, Nate in more ways than one. Their grief was palpable and real. They both are going through the motions in the darkness that grief causes, just empty shells, but their passion for each other gives them a reason to come into the light and live. Zoey struggles with living life and forgetting about her destiny and Nate can't get over his abandonment issues. Everything they do, mistakes and all are driven by fear. Are you wondering how they will ever be together, especially with the whole dead at 27 thing? Sounds interesting, huh? 
 If you enjoy a well-written story with mystery and intrigue, complicated and layered characters, steamy lovin', and unique story arcs, this is definitely the book for you. 
 I felt like I embarked on only the tip of Kim Karr's talent. I'd like to try another one of her books because there's definitely something there. This story has made me a fan and I look forward to reading other books by her.
