This one is definitely a challenge. If you're a fan of the Southern Gothic style, this is definitely for you.
It can slow down in parts, but to me it felt like a reprieve. This is a story of trauma, family, magic, and the secrets that can hide in the bayou.
The descriptions are vivid, I knew exactly the kinds of places he was talking about.
