Demon Copperhead is one of the best books I have read this year. It was incredibly heartbreaking, beautifully written, intense, traumatic, and will stay with you longer after the last page. It took me a while to get through the book, due to the intensity of some content, but when I did pick it up I couldn’t put it down. It has deeply touched my heart, and when I realized I had read the final sentence, my eyes welled with tears.
