This is one of the very first reviews I received. Below is a second review. These reviews were done before the book became published.

"Strong, believable characters, a fine-spun tale of the South and its superstitions. Author does a fine job of making readers care about the characters. Great tale of love and loss, as well as faith. Romance and mystery with suspense at the same time. So, if you're a fan of either, then this book is for you," says Mona Lisa Heider from Louisiana.
