I was able to read this eARC thanks to the author directly and i immensely thank her for the opportunity to read it early and thusly my opinion is freely given.
sapphic? Southern Gothic?? folklore horror????
sign me the f up.
I absolutely loved this book. I got a bit confused sometimes trying to keep up with the multiple narratives and who was who but really, it wasn't that bad. I enjoyed the big bad of the book and the way it tapers off at the end I can definitely see a second book on the horizon and I will definitely be there first in line for that book as well.
the characters are believable and charming, but also aggravating in their flaws which just makes them more loveable imo.
