Not what I would normally gravitate to, but it kept me interested. I’ll probably read the entire series at some point to find out what Happens with all of the siblings

Riveting but depressing. There were some cute moments but I was just waiting for it to be over.

I can't connect with any of these people. They're all assholes. Their lives are boring. 30% in and magic still not a factor. DNF because the oldest brother had sex with a fourteen year old (which was there ONLY for the shock value, it was completely unnecessary), and the fourteen year old sister is having sex with her professor (again, for shock value only). Yikes.

This was definitely an unusual novel. I was intigued because I love witches and I love New Orleans for it's rich history and culture, but neither of these were prominent in the story. If you are looking for a book with intricate, tense family dynamics and rough character issues, this definitely checks those boxes.
I'm at a loss for how to rate this book, truthfully. I was apprehensive in the beginning because some of the characters seemed too whiny and I couldnt keep straight who was who, but as I read, each problem felt more and more real. This was by no means a bad book, bit obviously not an action packed fantasy tale. It's a fictional family with very real problems traversing the 70s.
I do recommend this book as it gives the reader a lot to think about and digest but it's written well enough to read through quickly.
