A review by caveatlectors
The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner

5.0

I was recommended this as an audiobook from a dear friend. What she didn’t mention to me was that I was going to bawl my eyes out for over a hour. This is my first book by this author and I also didn’t know what it was about. I didn’t read the synopsis so when I found out it’s based in TN I enjoyed it even more because it involved places I’ve visited or wanted to visit. Living in KY means the audiobook also brought out my country accent which I wasn’t raised with.

It has been quite away since a book has made me hurt and bawl. I enjoyed every second of this, the world I was set into, the friendships, the dilemmas, and giggles it brought out of me. If you’re looking for a good cry, this will do it. It also brings you into a world that I’ve never heard of any other author writing about, the world of priests/preachers handling snakes are part of religious reasoning.
