While this is exactly the darkly lyrical prose that I love and a lot of the themes of guilt and loss were given really beautiful metaphor, the plot and characters fell a little flat for me. So this is a little more of a 3.5 rounded down. (

this is, i think, fine for what it is. supernatural and monsters and magic. the writing is good, the characters are pretty interesting. but as much as i'm trying, these storylines are not enjoyable for me. but i think she did it well and so could really see others liking this one. (

Definitely not your father's Oldsmobile, but an intriguing story with a lot more emotional content than you expect from reading the first couple chapters. The supernatural aspects blend together very well and probably aren't that far from what folks in the rural areas in Kentucky think about when life gets strange and things go bump in the night. There's plenty of dark and gore that might be unsettling for some, but in the end, you have a pretty decent tale with survivors at a point where they'll have a future with some hope. (

teen/adult horror fiction set on rural Kentucky tobacco farm - like a dream and a nightmare at once. Impressive work. (

I was told this was a thrilling tale of horror. Where? I didn’t see it in the 34% of the audiobook I listened to. Laurel Early grew up in a small tobacco growing town. She escaped town to attend a university in the big city of Ohio but dropped out for bad grades. In her free times she likes to taxidermy. This book took so much time in the set up. We had to find out about her friends, her hobby, her uncle, and her bones. It finally got interesting when she finds her old taxidermy castoff bones in a pool of fresh blood, but that interesting point was followed by more dullness. Then there is the car accident and chase by the weird blood and bone creature that even a gun will not stop, but now everyone thinks she is crazy and making it up. The DNF point for me was on the next meeting with the creature. The “I want to be in you, eat you, devour you from the inside.” I had to listen twice. And I was done. I love the Nine Inch Nail song, where these lyrics feel like they were taken from, but I was not enjoying this story. It wasn’t horror or thriller enough. It was boring, then it was just “Nope”. (
