This was so atmospheric and tense! The way Retta was written, I really felt her stress and fear of being a 1950s housewife with an awful, abusive husband and her "deal with the devil".
I liked all of the characters and how their relationships were portrayed and was really rooting for a lot of them over the course of the story.

This will definitely be on my Best of 2024 book list! It hits on so many of my favorite tropes. Expertly crafted, compelling storytelling, dynamic characters, and it felt like a classic movie! Longer review on Patreon Monday!
