Going in, I thought this was going to be another supernatural outing, but it wasn't. Not even a little.

That said, I have to say, I actually quite enjoyed what was essentially a thriller/romance. Joe was interesting enough to hold my attention throughout, and some of the other characters were very well drawn.

Yes, Farris seemed to sort of forget some of them along the way, but overall, this actually was a well-written southern-gothic romance thriller.

I could read more like these. ( )

Very Good
