The Line by J.D. Horn
2.0
I think I'm being generous giving this two stars. In theory, I should love this book. It has witches, hoodoo, and it takes place in the city where I was born! But no. No no no.
Every character is a complete caricature, which I could maybe get over and enjoy in a lighthearted way, but:
1. The only character who speaks in dialect is this old black woman and the was she is written is totally racist.
2. The author forces in these plot twists that are just silly and don't even make sense.
3. "The air was as hot and moist as a dog's breath." No. Just...no.
I won't be reading any more.
