Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an ARC of this audiobook for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This was a very fun, quirky, gory Southern mystery with some vampire/zombie creatures thrown into the mix. I absolutely adored the intergenerational perspective here and I fell in love with the Evans women very quickly!

The intergenerational perspective added a lot of mystery to the novel, as well as a lot of humor, and was one of the biggest strengths of the novel. Ducey was by far my favorite character with her brutally honest demeanor and dark humor. The horror aspect is also fantastic. Be wary if you can't handle gore, because there is plenty of that. I also enjoyed that the reader found out details about the Evans family bit by bit, getting hints here and there as to what was happening. It was very satisfying to see the pieces all come together by the end. And the big plot twists were excellent as well! :)

Listening to the audiobook was such a fun way to experience this book because the narrator included a southern twang to the characters' accents, which made the setting feel even more real! I think I would have gotten the characters' relationships (particularly the Evans women) sorted out in my head quicker if I was reading the novel, but I still greatly enjoyed the listening experience. I greatly look forward to the next installment in this series!
