4.0

The story starts off slow in a sleepy little community until the creep factor builds and then the mad dash to the end. I for sure wasn’t expecting witches and sorcerers and underground children and vultures and jars with teeth and ladybugs. 

Sam is so quirky and full of one-liners. I enjoyed that immensely. I didn't have issues with the fat phobia portions of book because she really just described life as a fat woman. 

Overall this was a great story for me that might have been just plausible enough for the most part.
