I also loved the fictional excerpts about certain Shout songs, it really helped flesh the world out to be bigger than just one book. I do wish the book wasn’t so short, I would have loved to see more world building around these different monsters and how they came to Macon. There were definitely times it felt rushed, but honestly the action and the characters well make up for it.
I’d definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in fantasy, horror, or adventure. I always love reading about American folklore and I think this book really builds upon American history to create an engaging narrative.

Unfortunately it didn’t quite hit the spot for me. The gore was necessary but felt overdone some of the time. It also felt as though Maryse would be struggling during a fight and then somehow (almost) immediately be able to kill the Ku Kluxes off; it lacked build up.
It did make me happy towards the end, where Maryse connects to some special people in the end ❤️
I am giving it 3.5 out of 5 stars, thank you ✨
