Interesting concept, but I'll likely not continue with the series. There's an annoying trope in some books where a disaster happens and then people are expected to just get back to their responsibilities or lives. I guess it works for a YA book, but it always turns me off of a book.

Besides the Christian superhero schtick (it's just hacky at this point), a very good horror book.

This is a very difficult read. The true horrors are much more difficult to digest than the haunted house story woven within. This is an important one to endeavor.

Feminist horror seems to have common veins that I am not a fan of - a very damaged female protagonist who regains power after being abused in some way shape or form. The first couple of times had some variation, but I'm feeling the same problem with white male authors: the books are just very similar at the core.

Notable body horror here, and I really did like the folk horror components. If I hadn't just read The Madness, I would have probably loved this one.

Pretty good gothic story steeped in Mormon history. Well worth a read if you like either.
