This took a bit to get into, but that's mostly because I kept getting the characters mixed up and it took me a few chapters to sort everyone out.
Once I did, the main characters proved interesting and engaging. Andrew's emotional journey to try and figure out what happened go Eddie kept me hooked, stringing me along one reveal at a time.
I enjoy stories with a good amount of internal monologue, which this book delivers in plenty. That combined with Andrew's many and vivid encounters with haunts and ghosts really helps the southern Gothic horror vibes.
As Gothic horror quickly becomes a favorite genre of mine, Southern Sons delivers in FULL.
