The book is filled with twists and unexpected things.Dark truths unveils and then destiny takes an evil turn. Will she reckon with her family’s beliefs? Or she will find a way out of it?

There were warm moments and memories. Some characters were warm while some were cold and distant. The writing is gripping. The small town religious setting is interesting. The religious beliefs sets everyone apart. I felt the mother and daughter relationship could have been better. It’s a real page turner with unexpected twists.

Many Thanks to the Publisher, Netgalley, and Author.

This book was wild. It starts out slow with a woman talking about leaving her religious upbringing only to be invited back for the wedding of her best friend and her ex. While she’s there, she continues to investigate her mother the scream queen all while sneakily trying to find her father. Things become strange when no one seems to know how she got invited to the wedding. Beware, this is a slow burn.

Well I definitely inhaled that one. Not my first Harrisonbread but this felt different from the other books I've read.
For me this felt like a slow burn with day to day detail than I thought there would be. Vesper left home at 18 and has been invited back for her cousins wedding. There are many reasons why she left home and with her fleeting visit back it starts to piece together. Although the issues that Vesper has are slowly making sense, I completely felt her frustrations with her family, they were so mysterious and weird, and it would have been so much easier if they told her the truth.

As I said it was a slow burn for me but when the final scene took place it gave a really weird and creepy vibe. Another well-written book by Harrison. I love this author

My favourite Harrison novel by far, largely down to the wonderfully opinionated and snarky Vesper whi has to come to terms with being the Devil's spawn - literally! I loved how Harrison shows the community of Hell's Gate as perfectly ordinary...apart from their wildly rapturous adoration of Satan and willingness to ritually sacrifice Vesper to bring about the apocalypse. A suitably dark and engaging read for the run-up to Halloween. In my eyes, Harrison can do no wrong!

After reading another of this authors books and living it I was very excited to read this book. I really like the author she writes short, interesting horror with a good sense of humour and the pacing is always spot on
I enjoyed this story of family, secrets and religion. This was quite creepy without being scary and was easy to read in one sitting

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc
