I absolutely loved this! I love the idea of KKK being actual monsters/demons cause THEY ARE!

3.75 Stars rounded up. Good horror book with incredible meaning behind it. I recommend reading this if you want something with creative horror elements, but also displays a painfully realistic picture of American history.

The premise the outline the summary, all 4-5 star ideas. The actual story left me a little speechless when I turned off the audiobook at 80%. 

What even happened? I could not tell you what the order of events was in this book. I could name maybe 3 characters when we met SO many.

I loved the idea of the KKK being actual monsters, but that turned into so much more which I believe hurt the overall story. The magical swords and constant songs being sung and demons and other monsters all were thrown in haphazardly which was info overload. 

I believe this is more of a fantasy/action story and maybe I will re-visit with that knowledge later on.

Amazingly written. I loved the historical aspects and old stories used to make this story. Felt like a whole story instead of a novella, I got so much from it.
