2,5/5. I like this book a lot until the last 60 pages. It was good the southern gothic vibes was great, the characters a bit too stereotypes but nothing really bothering me. The writing was also good, the ambiance was there, nothing extraordinary, but a lot of fun. Unfortunately, in the end, there was a lot of non-sense, action that seem force into the story and some weird narrative choice that kind of loose me. Maybe it was just personal taste, but i thought the book denatured itself in the end and become something it wasn't meant to be and lost what was making it good until then. I'm curious to read more from Cherie Priest and I will, but I'm a bit disappointed by this book who was going to be a good four stars until the ending came...
