I think this is a book that needs some love, a book I enjoyed and kept me turning pages telling me stories of hereditary magic, some cosmic horror, small town where some weird thing are happening.
There's a lot from the past, there's some healing needed and someone must be ready to believe a young girl and not think she's deluded.
The author delivers a complex plot, does a good job in making you feel the claustrophobic atmosphere of the small town and the sense of foreboding.
The characters grew slowly on me as the story.Not love at first page but a I needed to end it to know what was happening and why.
Loved it.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

I requested this one because it might be an upcoming title I would like to review on my Youtube Channel. However, after reading the first several chapters I have determined that this book does not suit my tastes. So I decided to DNF this one.

I loved the adventure elements in this story, it does a great job in telling everything that needed to do. I was invested in the characters and hoping they could stop this ancient evil. It was what I was hoping for and I appreciated getting to read this. Chris Faraday has a great writing style for a scifi genre and I'm glad I got to read this.

"Perhaps Brad having been absent for two years had enabled him to transcend his upbringing. Then again, how much change was possible for a man who’d skipped town on the day of his wedding, leaving a heartbroken bride at the altar?"
