I don't think that I really knew what I was getting into when I started this book, and I'm honestly not sure if I fully understand what I read. But it certainly met the southern gothic brief, I'll give it that. I think my issue with it is that I felt disjointed from all of the action. I loved the LGBT rep and the incorporation of magic, but the rest kind of fell short. However it's certainly an odd book and I think that there's definitely a place for it in the horror genre. Just not for me.
