The setting of this book was entirely new to me as I don’t know much about South Africa and its many cultures that influenced this book. It was interesting to read about the occult presence and how each character responds to the supernatural occurrences happening around them. As a true crime & murder mystery enthusiast, I was fascinated by the exploration of muti-murders & crimes in this book.
It took a minute to get into the story, but when it got rolling, it quickly gained speed and the next thing I knew, it was over…or was it? Snyman does a great job of keeping the reader engaged and interested in what is happening in the book. I really enjoyed reading it.
