Couldn't finish it.

This book had a really strong start...I really liked Adam and found his character to be intriguing. I loved that it was set in Appalachia and was about snake handlers. Really, any book with quirky religious beliefs, catch my attention. I thought the book started sliding downhill in the last third, when Blue took center stage. I know it was as much her story as Adams, but I just didn't buy into their relationship. I also didn't think her side of the story was half as interesting as his. Nahai is a strong writer, but this book is uneven at best.

Interesting. More of a character study than anything with a plot. It gets a little purple prose-y at times.
