About this listen

Nobody has a “normal” family; but Vesper Wright's is truly... something else. Vesper left home at eighteen and never looked back—mostly because she was told that leaving the staunchly religious community she grew up in meant she couldn't return. But then an envelope arrives on her doorstep.

Inside is an invitation to the wedding of Vesper's beloved cousin Rosie. It's to be hosted at the family farm. Have they made an exception to the rule? It wouldn't be the first time Vesper's been given special treatment. Is the invite a sweet gesture? An olive branch? A trap? Doesn't matter. Something inside her insists she go to the wedding. Even if it means returning to the toxic environment she escaped. Even if it means reuniting with her mother; Constance; a former horror film star and forever ice queen.

When Vesper's homecoming exhumes a terrifying secret; she's forced to reckon with her family's beliefs and her own crisis of faith in this deliciously sinister novel that explores the way family ties can bind us as we struggle to find our place in the world.

Creepy, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt. Vesper’s voice is sharp and messy in the best way, and the mix of family drama with horror really worked for me. Some twists were predictable, but overall it was a bloody good time.

I’d had this book in my TBR list for a while but it was, sadly, a big disappointment. Firstly, the narration wasn’t great - the core MC narration was fine, but every other character’s voice was done in a horrible, mawkish storybook/old Hollywood kind of voice that was incredibly off putting and did not not at all match the tone of the story. That said, the story itself was lacking. It started off okay, but descended into silly YA level fantasy rather than what it was supposed to be - horror. The MC could have been an interesting character,but never got beyond the basic I’m-not-like-the-other-girls level. The epilogue felt tacked on to make it seem like what had gone before was supposed to be satirical, but wasn’t enough to rescue what overall felt like a college short story stretched out to novel length.

Disappointing.

After maybe the first hour, the book just went downhill. It's so bad, I couldn't stop rolling my eyes by the end. It's cartoonish, like a bad YA fan fiction that the author tried to make book length by adding pages and pages of repetitive nonsense. The narration is even worse, if possible. Annoying, horribly cartoonish again with weird inflections. This could've been a creepy, atmospheric novel about a cult but instead it was an annoying, never ending mess about a weird fever dream the author must've had and just decided to pen down. It's way too long and just all over the place - a right mess. All the characters are annoying - especially the lead. The narration made all of them even more aggravating. Wish I'd not wasted a credit on this. Very disappointing.

What a mess!

relatable yet creep book, the highlights the relationship between our loved ones and the agony of tearing away from a culture with lots of satanism as a back drop. fun, creep yet easy reading. enjoy.
