So. Much. Incest.
The lush descriptions of New Orleans were really excellent. But all in all, this book felt like someone took a long-winded work of historical fiction and spliced it together with a few frantic pages of incest and rape fantasy writing. Capped off with an unsatisfying ending.

3.5 maybe? Ghost rape? Incest? The mc just completely changing into an entirely different person at the end? I just - this was 50 hours of my life that I will never get back
