Bless Your Heart
by Lindy Ryan
I was immediately intrigued by the idea of this book as someone who watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer in my high school “glory” days, and it did NOT disappoint.
Bless Your Heart is a southern horror story that is also charming. Told in alternating POVs, the focus is the Evans Funeral Parlor and the women who run it: formidable Ducey, the Evans family matriarch, her daughter Lenore, set her in routines to keep evil at bay, her daughter, Grace, haunted by the events of a “Godawful Mess” that happened 15 years ago, when HER daughter, Luna, was just a baby. The job of the Evans women is to keep the dead…well, dead.
When the town gossip, Mina Jean Murphy, rises from the dead before her wake, the elder Evans women know evil has returned to their town.
Set in 1999, during a hot Texas summer, Bless Your Heart stole my heart. I have never read a story that I’d describe as gory (but not too awful), yet heart-warming, but that’s what it is.
This title releases in April 2024. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. I can’t wait for everyone to meet the Evans women.
