I really like Rachel Harrison's writing and I think that she creates great characters, and unique settings for her novels. I think how she takes expected tropes and turns them on their head, I just don't think that this one landed for me. The writing was solid, the characters were all unique and brought something to the table, I just didn't love the second half.

Be warned that this book deals with familial dysfunction, estranged relationships between mother and daughter, Satanism, cults, PTSD from familial trauma, bad work environments, the nature versus nurture argument, and descriptions of hellfire and brimstone.katlinstirling_reads's review against another edition
