I love this series. I love the voice of the narrator - being male for example - and the setting of being in what would be considered the classic American South.

This was a very good book with a unique story. I really enjoyed it. I can't wait for the future ones I see are coming, I just wish the wait wasn't so long.

I enjoyed a lot of the southern culture mixed in with the paranormal stuff in the book. I felt it was a little long. I'm not normally a huge fan of paranormals, but the southern twist and likeable characters made this one fun.
