It was a good book with an interesting take on a classic monster/trope. While there were a few plot points I wish had had more/less focus. What made the book interesting to read was mostly the character dynamics of the traditional southern housewife having to take the lead on a monster fight while also balancing the life and image she wants to maintain.
