Overall, this was just okay... but that last chapter was WHOOOAAA! If you liked All the Sinners Bleed, you will probably like this book, too. Personally, I really hate books with religion as a central theme. I'm not sure why I keep trying to read them. 😅

Ruth and Ever became friends on a dark night in the swamp. The reader discovers early on that Ruth killed someone (albeit in self defense) and Ever helped her hide the body. Six years later, she's dating a cop. Okay, girl! Ruth and Ever's system of checks and balances is a little screwed up. Do two wrongs make a right?

I was not very in love with this book. At times, I felt I was reading it to read it. I really enjoyed the relationship between these two individuals, however. Those who appreciate town politics and religious opinions will like it more.
