For those looking for a small town horror read with fun characters and twists you don’t see coming this is definitely worth the read. You’ve never seen MLM pyramid schemes quite like this. This book feels campy, fun, and I found myself laughing at a lot of Harriet’s inner monologues.
That being said, I really wanted the concepts and the horror in this read to have been taken even further. This book mainly builds up our character relationships for awhile and our main character’s story and motivations which makes sense but I do wish we got some horrific elements throughout the story instead of all at the end. It would have made the dread sink in even more to see some of the more subtle horror going on in the town. That being said I would still definitely recommend this read.
