Yeah! Amazing! Love the mix of character and plot development. Love how Tanarive sets up things to be a red herring only to find out later that the entire book is little clues.
This is a story about a family with conjured magic. This is what happens when a family matriarch bends magic to its breaking point and Papa Legba requests a price. Only for unfortunate event after unfortunate event happens to this family who are owners of the good house. This is a story of how ancestors and live descendants must work together to restore a family. This story urges you that you don’t have to believe in the unexplained in order for the unexplained to believe and HUNT YOU!
This is also a story of how important it is to share family history. No matter how difficult it may be because it may cost someone’s life. It’s important to believe your family members and trust your gut. If you believe someone with malice is coming into your life. Belief that and cleanse yourself and people you love as well.
