I can’t recommend this wholeheartedly because I couldn’t connect with any of the characters, and I think Southern Gothic only works if you care for the characters discovering family secrets and the dark supernatural. I didn’t find any of the family dynamics particularly compelling. Again, I think a story about a family who can’t speak about their dark tragedy only works if you care, if you see them doing quietly self-destructive things or if you see them trying and failing to communicate. This family felt more like Craig’s List roommates.
Still, there’s a lot of supernatural tension, and the plot kept me turning pages to see what would happen next to uncover the next secret.
