I love this novel. It was so well written, the story was fresh and engulfing. It was my first experience with Tananarive Due and I will absolutely be reading more of her work. This story really shows the heart of a woman facing the loss of a child, marriage, and her maternal figure in a beautiful raw spotlight. This is a story of inner strength in a time of turmoil while navigating a town with a history of racism and ghosts. If you are sensitive to child loss/child death this may not be the book for you because they are very prominent themes throughout this novel.
A slow build at times but it kept me wanting to know more.
Slow burn, dark novel with voodoo. Lush descriptions and complex characters. Took a while to build up and drawn out a bit but an enjoyable trip.

4.5. Creepy, cinema like black horror written well. Yeshua was my friend throughout the entire book and I read only in the daytime lol. It was a bit too long for me. overall I really enjoyed it.
