Like many other reviews, at 50% and still getting back story with no development of the plot. And my biggest issue is the lack of development of the main family of women. So many side characters with POVs. I don’t actually mind low plot books but that needs to be replaced with strong character development. So if not a lot is happening but instead we focused on this familial relationship then I might would be more willing to stick it out but every new chapter is a new random POV that’s not moving the plot or developing our main Characters. Therefore it leaves me just not caring about anything. There’s not even really a mystery so I have no reason to keep reading, unfortunately.

Cute, gory, needed a little more rising action but worth the read.
This was a solid, fun cozy horror mystery that I enjoyed reading. The Southern setting, the different women’s perspectives, what was happening and what secrets came to light was all interesting and the writing was easy to follow. Some 90s nostalgia was sprinkled in as well, which I could have had more of (always lusting for that nostalgia haha), so although it wasn’t a mindblowing read for me, I really loved this as a light and fun time. I am very interested in reading future installments in the series too.

This was not my favorite read ever, but I do think it was decent. I think I just have to weak of a stomach for this type of descriptive gore. It was very bloody and gross and I could not eat while I was reading it. The storyline was okay, felt very much like true blood/practical magic/zombie trope. I knew where it was going from the beginning.
A third of the way through and nothing much has happened, it feels like we're still being introduced to characters and their backgrounds.

fun concept and interesting characters but very slow to get started. 80% of the action is in the last 50 pages. Still pretty quick to read !
