The premise of the was good and it was well written there was just something about it that just dragged a little slow for me

‘Maybe that was what true love meant: a bitterness that stayed on the tongue when everything else faded.’

This was an interesting idea for a story but I didn't connect with it.  The pacing was erratic and the MC could be indecisive and often just let things happen.  It was a unique snap shot of a family and introduced me to some interesting religious lore.  It's contrast and in some cases correlation with Christianity provided a rich backdrop for the story to unfold.  Not a bad story for sure, just not for me.
