Bless Your Heart by Lindy Ryan
3.5
dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did.  The reviews that made me pick it up didn’t mention the graphic gore at all.  It sounded like a Southern quirky novel with some paranormal, which would have been right up my alley.  It is not that.
