The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner

5.0

I loved this. Yes, it has some story arcs that were reminiscent of other great YA books and I can see why some might not find it that original. But this book got to me. I could so easily relate it was ridiculous. Hmm, maybe because I also grew up in small town Tennessee in a religious home? Yep. That's exactly why. No other book has ever hit this close to my own personal experiences and Jeff Zentner wrote it all out beautifully.

Now I'm kicking myself for missing him at Parnassus last week when he spoke with other Nashville authors.
