I don’t read a lot of Southern Gothic fiction, so I can’t speak to how this book compares to the genre as a whole, but I’ve found the writing and the story to be promising so far. I’m less such about the cover, which on one hand I find visually interesting from the color palette, but on the other hand reminds me of the over exposed filters popular on Instagram a few years ago. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not sure if it fits the story yet.
