Overall, I enjoyed this book because it kept my interest for wanting to see what would happen next; not because it is a fantastic piece of thought-provoking literature or one in which I felt empathy with the characters. Most of the action is really far-fetched so, while not believable, it's definitely entertaining and reminiscent of a soap opera! If you are into easy, quick reads about dysfunctional genteel southern families with ugly skeletons in the closet, a little mountain magic, and bad guys getting their comeuppance, this might be a good pick for you!
