I am very much looking forward to reading more. The cast already feel real and tangible. Bring it!

Gripping first chapter that puts you right in the middle of a universe of characters that you can't wait to further explore.

Love the unique, authentic voice that comes through in this sample chapter. You can already tell there is a lot more to come in this story and I'm looking forward to reading it.

The opening chapter places the reader in West Virginia and an Appalachian family's conflict. I am already a fan of the character of Mamaw Issa and her magical colloquialisms.

'Throw me right into the action' is one of my favorite types of opening chapters, and Becca nails it. I'm already disappointed that I can't read more!

Incredibly written. The way the author pulls the reader in with a crazy family dynamic is skillfully done. Spence Dobias has beautifully crafted a story I am eager to read. I can’t wait to see what magic Mamaw Issa holds!

Eveyone loves drama and suspense and this book gives me just that. The first few lines draw me in. Every word is intentional and detailed making me wish I can read the next chapter. The family dynamic is relatable which I believe makes this a page turner.

What a great read right from the start. The reader is engaged from the very beginning and is left wanting to know so much more!

A wild start to an interesting story dripping with personality and charm.

Becca is a fantastic writer with an authentic voice. Her characters come off the page and sit next to you, ready to tell you the story themselves.
