Thank you to the author for providing a review copy.
Well. Blood Cypress was an unexpected punch to the gut, from so many angles. I was absolutely riveted by the story, and would have happily read a longer version of it. Perhaps, though, a longer version wouldn't be quite as effective. This book manages to accomplish a whole lot in a very short space, and I ran through a whole slew of emotions reading it. There are some heavy triggers here, so check them if you need to. 4.5 stars
