Rachel Harrison has not failed me yet!

Books I've read so far and their ratings:
Cackle 5/5 stars
Such Sharp Teeth 4/5 stars
The Return 4/5 stars
So Thirsty 4/5 stars

I mostly listened to this as an audiobook while occasionally picking up the ebook to read along. I actually had to restart this book because I fell asleep while listening to the audio and woke up to the whole book finished.

Vesper returns to her estranged family's home after receiving an invitation to her cousin's wedding. Vesper originally left home because she stopped agreeing with her family's demanding religion. Soon after arriving, she realizes that things haven't changed but also that there is something deeper going on at the family farm. Vesper doesn't have the greatest relationship with her mother and begins demanding that she tell Vesper who her father is. She has some memories of him, but really doesn't know much about him.

This was a decently fast-paced, entertaining read. While being horror, it also had some comedic relief that added an air of lightness to the story. I thought this whole book was fun. I loved the premise and the reveals along the way. I also really enjoyed Vesper as a character. She's at times abrasive and isn't always the easiest person to befriend. Even still, she is trying to be a good person and stay true to her moral compass even in the face of her family and their religion.

I'm excited to continue reading Harrison's books.
