It was fine. A quick read, nothing too scary or deep. A good beach or plane read.

I loved this one! A little bit of spooky mixed with a wild family dynamic, religious dysfunction, and a woman simply trying to figure out who she is in the midst of it all in the misogynistic culture of the 1950s. I appreciated her struggles and her gifts. This is a story about the power of being listened to and to heal.. but also about some ghosts. ;) I truly enjoyed everything about this book, and loved the tidy ending. A favorite for the year for sure.

I think the most interesting part of this novel is the worry about who the Devil in the title refers to. 
It’s a good read with a very 1950s feel. There are some atmospheric parts that I wanted to be stronger but were still good.
