The supernatural, the gore. It's nothing compared to the choking feeling that suffuses every conversation between mother and daughter.

The plot was confusing and although I liked it, I think it could have been better developed. I didn’t love it.
The best part of this book is not the plot, though, is the subtext about abuse, which is really interesting and I think amazingly done, specially for a YA book. This book deals with ptsd, gaslighting, intergenerational trauma in such a good way, I though that was really hard to read but also it was really well developed.
Also, let’s talk about white trash and farming, and weird families and inbreeding? this book really delivered when it comes to that, so reading it was great for my dark-humored mind.

Wow, what a book. I have a hard time collecting my thoughts and actually reviewing this book. On one hand I enjoyed my reading experience. The atmosphere was just great and the story was intriguing. The portrayal of emotional abuse and gaslighting was just spectacular. That was the strongest part of the book. It was really hard to keep reading and I had to put the book down a few times. On the other hand, there were a few things that weren't that good. The characters were just mediocre. I really didn't care about any of them. So when
