You know how some roller coasters have a slow climb and others go from 0 to 60 in under five seconds?

Well, let’s just say this book went from 0 to 60 in under one second. Bless Your Heart wastes no time setting the scene for what kind of ride you’re in for: it’s gruesome, hilarious, and has the deep Southern spirit that the title implies.

With visceral descriptions that made my stomach churn with nausea and heave with laughter in equal measures, Lindy Ryan has written one hell of a horror novel. (Emphasis on HELL.)

Read this if you love:

Horror with equal parts blood/guts and humor
Supernatural
Tongue-in-cheek Southern vibes
