Really enjoyed this on audio!! The narrator was amazing. This is outside of what I typically read, but I definitely want to read more of this author in the future!

I really liked this story and the horror was on point. The writing style wasn't for me though. There were times I needed more to understand what was happening and the narration would jump past it. I understand this was done for a reason, and in some cases it worked great, but in others I struggled.

dark tense fast-paced

The KKK as demons?! Great idea with good execution. If you can handle the content warnings and body horror, then I would recommend this.
