I loved this a lot and honestly it was a really nice break from Graham's Indian Lake trilogy where you have to fight tooth and nail to understand what's happening in any given scene, the writing in this is way more straight up but still very poetic. I love the southern gothic style as well, it's so fun to read and it's so ruff n tumble. It's a werewolf book but it's more of a family drama and examination of class/race disparity in the united states. very very sad but very good.
