It read like a journal, like David is telling / writing these entries. 

Takes place in Louisiana but also you travel to the Jungle, so that was interesting. I also like how the Author mentions the Mayfair witches and Claudia makes an appearance too. 

It was a nice read, overall.

pretty mid book. no one really cares about david theres no need to make him a main character, especially weird how he's pretty much replaced daniel. i did like him for the fact paul mcgann played him until the bit about him being a pedophile in this.. how are we supposed to like him as a protagonist? merrick as a character is an uneducated hybrid of various stereotypes and cultures, she doesnt have much depth to her but at least shes more likeable than rowan. thank god louis is relevant again, totally weird how anne abandoned him. not satisfied by claudia's portrayal either, it's like anne rice wants us to hate all of her characters. honey in the sunshine and cold sandra are the most ridiculous names ever, they sound like steeleye span songs. a fucking witch called Cold Sandra?? COLD SANDRA?? that is so steeleye span its not funny. fuck off Allison Gross.
