Omg I'm 17 chapters in and I still know barely anything about this family or their spooky town. There have been a million loose threads tugged at but nothing comes to fruition. I'm calling it quits at 42%. Insanely frustrating and repetitive. I don't have it in me to continue for 23 more chapters.

Characters seemed flat. Described as a southern horror but definitely not the southern I expected.
This audiobook had me hooked from the start of the story. It also lowkey scared me a little. That is what I get for starting this audiobook in the middle of the night.
This is a very unique story in my eyes, something I have never heard of before.
The ending is amazing.
It’s 1999 in Southeast Texas, and the Evans women, owners of the only funeral parlor in town, are keeping steady with…normal business. The dead die, you bury them. End of story.
But when town gossip Mina Jean Murphy’s body is brought in for a regular burial and she rises from the dead instead, it’s clear that the Strigoi—the original vampire—are back And the Evans women are the ones who need to fight back to protect their town. Past into the present, the Evans family must face that sometimes, the dead aren’t the only things you want to keep buried.

Fun, gory, pacy - an easy read! The characters were nicely written and I liked the family dynamics, as well as the townsfolk. I didn't quite guess the twist until close to the end, and it kept me turning the pages!
