I really enjoyed this book. It was just the right mix of supernatural thriller and family saga. I love and appreciate that it was about a Black family; diversity is frustratingly limited in this genre. Some of the descriptive writing was drawn out and   oddly sexual at times when it didn’t seem warranted, but overall the writing was good. The story was much darker than I expected. If you have trouble reading about violence against children, I would be careful with this one.
