A cynical twentysomething must confront her unconventional family's dark secrets in this fiery, irreverent horror novel from the author of Such Sharp Teeth and Cackle.   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.… (mehr)

Rachel Harrison is one of the best at keeping you on the edge of your seat. The story revolves around Vesper and her crazy family. Vesper's mother, Constance, who Vesper doesn't get along with at all, is a horror movie queen and a Satanist, and her father is often absent. In fact, the whole town is Satanic. They live in a small town called Hell's Gate. Vesper left the town when she turned 18 because she doesn't believe in Satan.

She comes back for a visit to attend the wedding of her ex-boyfriend to her best friend. Of course, she doesn't stay in the town very long because of the issues with her mother, so she heads back to New York City.

A week later, her father visits her in NY and brings her home for a special birthday party. What happens next is full of suspense and horror. You won't believe what you just read. ( )

This was fully what I would expect from Rachel Harrison. It was enjoyable and absolutely loved the twist about their family worshiping satan. I didn't see that coming at all. I was like, oh! At first, I was like, eh, another religious fanatic family - but this twist definitely hooked me. I will say it got a little crazy in the end with her father being the "devil" - however, I also saw that coming a mile away. But all the antics in the end, and the craziness of them all being sucked into some vortex or something. I got a little lost in there, but got the gist. But that's also typical Rachel Harrison, so it would probably be weird if the book didn't go a little sideways. Overall though, I really enjoyed it. And I liked the end how they turned the house into a tourist stop and she was sitting there among them to watch the show. ( )

This was my first book by Rachel Harrison and it was so much fun to read! I don't want to give away too much because I highly recommend going into this blind like I did, but I will say it was dark, funny, and hard to put down! The main character, Vesper, is fantastically well-written, and the plot has plenty of twists. ( )

I love how Rachel Harrison can take something and just flip it a different way, and then turn it inside out. Loved this book. ( )
