Ok, wow! This book was insane in the best way. I usually stray away from devil esc books, because they're not really my cup of tea, but the mystery aspect of this book had me drawn in so bad. The mysterious plot tied into the interconnected multiple POVs with distinct voices and goals made this such an enthralling read for me. The atmospheric Georgian swamp setting really helped to set the eerie mood as well. I almost forgot, the audiobook! AH! When I was searching up the book on TikTok, it was highly suggested to listen to the audio. I was hesitant to listen to the whole thing this way though, because the way people talk for the audiobook for me just seems very robotic and not realistic. I was able to get the snippets of the podcast from Spotify but it was so immersive and made the story feel more than just words on pages. My only qualm with the book was that it was sometimes harder to keep the side characters straight, especially later on in the book.

i have waited a whole year to read this title after interning with its imprint and seeing the final touches of editorial production and marketing. I knew immediately by the copy that this was gonna be something special and well crafted.
Xan has such a way with words. I adored her prose and exposition across the page. very evocative and enticing. it both reflects the tone and setting so well from the first page until the very last. This story holds so many layers to it, and the southern modern Gothic feel is a steady pulse throughout. No way would I assume this is an authors debut.
Overall, so so well done and I'm proud to have interned on this even in the tiniest of ways
