this book is easily a five star read. it has everything from humor, to suspense, relatable womanly rage, love, and everything you need to never want to put it down!
The author’s debut novel is filled with poetic prose and relatable real life. The main character is a wife, mother, friend, and public school employee navigating midlife and empty nesting. Her everyday life made me laugh, cry, roll my eyes and curse while examining my own life through artful descriptions of the surrounding world. Through it all, an otherworldly demon lurks, providing edge of your seat plot twists and cliffhangers. The read is casual yet thought provoking, reverent yet spicy, and playful yet poignant. I appreciated the nods toward Appalachian scene, setting, and folklore, as well as the more contemporary themes. Now that you know about Moonwater, think twice before you drink it. But go ahead and dive into a good read that is destined to have a successful prequel coming.
