My first 5 star read of the year. As a native Kentuckian the setting caught my attention but the atmosphere and characters dragged me in. I loved everything about this book. From the weird horror vibes to the difficult lovableness of the main characters. Truly an excellent book for me.

Alix Harrow is on my "to read" list from here on out. After 2 stellar, and completely original plots with wonderful histories, I wish and want for many more novels in the future.

I loved this book. So lyrical and spooky, so deeply human. I’ve never read a book about haunted houses and things that go bump on the night that so frequently made me pause to savor the writing like a fine wine. Highly recommend.
