Wow, what a book. This comes the closest to filling the void in my heart after finishing Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Cycle series, but it's not really all that similar?

There's a supernatural serial killer trying to bring on the apocalypse, the slow assembly of a magical scooby gang, and some poor decision making with a ouja board. There's also some excellent commentary on bigotry, police corruption, and religious cults. It's always chilling to get to the end of a book and read an author's note explaining that yes, most of the darker content of the story is taken straight from history.

All in all this was an incredible read, and I'll be looking up as much of Libba Bray's work as I can. It also confirms that January LaVoy is one of my all time favorite audio narrators.
