Enisi The Bleu Realm...
“Loved this book! As I read Enisi The Bleu Realm, I smiled with delight. My eyes widened in amazement, and my heart was filled with pride, hope and a bit of anxiousness. It is the story of the Bleu family and their family tree, (literally and figuratively), ENISI. The story kept me engaged from page to page and I was excited as I anticipated what would happen next. This novel of a family that loves, laughs, fights, overcomes and perseveres under the watchful and protective spirit of Enisi, their tree, had many turns and twists. Is he a good tree or a bad tree? Experiencing Black fantasy happening on mother Earth, in our time, in the south; and not some far away place in space or dystopian world of metal and machines, is such a creative and refreshing perspective. This is what mostly made me feel, "wow", about Tracie Greene's novel. The magic and mystery is right here! Magic in the not-so-distant past, and the ever present now. The idea that Enisi; the Bleu family tree, telepathically communicates with family members that are "green souls", was thrilling; and when we find out he can "do" things, it is shocking. The Bleu Realm, is intergenerational joy created over and over again, with the same tree, all powerful and omni present. The family expands and its' members transition with age and time yet Enisi seems immortal and steadfast. This book is a totally new take on the themes of how we show up as humans, as family members, as individuals and how all of these manifestations and connections are tied to the life/lives/life forces on earth. We are ONE. Trees included. Get it! Read it!"

“Enisi The Bleu Realm is an invitation to family connections and deep love; a lesson in history and generations of appreciation of the land; a dive into the scientific mind of Enisi; and a place for healing and self-discovery. This book allows its readers to see themselves through the eyes of the characters, to see the freedom and satisfaction in fully being who you are, to know that healing to the spirit is available all while experiencing Enisi's hand in the design of how those processes occur. This book is a must read. You will find spirituality, the building of generational wealth, mystery and science fiction, nature's place in living, and so much more. Don't rush through this book. Take your time and take notes. I am excited to see what the next installment will reveal!”

"This magical family saga blurs the lines between fiction and realism… The best part is the enchanting ecosystem with an ancient family tree/spirit guide at the center who is involved in all the antics! Enisi is fiercely loyal and protective. Set in GA with lush characters! If you want a Black book that does not center trauma, this is the one! Not an average trope either.”

“This was one of the best books I've ever read. Couldn't put it down. The characters are so relatable and familiar. The perfect mix of science and fantasy. Whimsical, fun loving, and free Rhea is a character who makes me feel comfortable being my unique self. Finally a story that depicts the actual African American experience!”

"A beautiful saga of one family's relationship to the land that has been in their family for generations. But this isn't just any land, there's magic within and an ancient spirit named Enisi who watches over the Bleu family and is fiercely loyal. Grab a cup of coffee, get cozy, and take a trip to Bountiful. It's a sweeping fantasy with Black and Indigenous people and I'm here for ALL of it!!"

“There is so much to say about Enisi, The Bleu Realm, debut novel by Tracie Angela Greene, I don’t even know where to start. I guess I will start with the beautiful cover art which set the mood for an adventure of a lifetime. I know easy comparisons are a dime a dozen when talking up a book, but truly and honestly Enisi, The Bleu Realm, is a superb, exciting, and astonishing.”

“I finished reading Enisi - The Bleu Realm, this past weekend. It was a really good read as you venture into the Bleu family secrets, learning about green souls and of course the ever present bantering between, soulmates, family, and ancient horticultural beings. It was quite a journey as you respond to human tragedy, the importance of family, and soul sisters while nestled in the backdrop of the grand south where summers are hot, lemonade is refreshing, and cold watering holes are a blessing. Tracie, I really enjoyed your story's twists and turns while visiting the mystical valley. Like I said, it is a good read.”

“Just moments ago, I finished reading Chapter 8. As always—when I truly love a book, I will deliberately pace myself with slow-reading in an effort to make the experience last longer. I have to tell you that this is like nothing I've read before—and every word has been written to bring a story never told before by anyone. Your book is filled with spirit, nature, heritage, and love in starring roles... This is a beautifully written Stunner! OMGoodness, Black, Native, and White Americans on the edge of Nature's control.”

“First off I'm a reader of detective books so the subject matter of this novel is definitely off the grid for me. That being said I have to admit the writing kept me engaged and managed to draw me into the world created by the author. Although I considered the book to be a little long on dialogue and short on the narrative, the dialogue used by the characters was familiar and comforting and kept the story moving right along in a natural way. Overall I thought the book was very well written and I can't wait to turn the pages in the next chapters of Enisi.”
—LWG
"I love how there are exciting peaks throughout the story. All of the characters have their own personalities and that added excitement and mystery. It kept me intrigued and wanting more the entire time. I particularly love Shay! I think that what she went through is what a lot of girls/women go through every day and she provides a sense of hope and strength. I enjoyed Rhea and her family as well. Rhea is the friend we all pray for. I enjoyed ALL of the characters!"
