Genuinely scary at times, really good southern gothic horror elements. Some parts felt a little too “male author creates a self insert antihero”, and the pacing felt all over the place by the end. Was not a fan of the ending. The first half of the book was great, and it’s worth it as a quick read, especially if you like southern gothic themes.
