Something Wicked This Way Comes, and then comes again, and comes again later. A Review of The Wicked Unseen

 This book shows the reasons why someone should check out a town before they take a job there. An unsuspecting mom takes a job as a mortician and her teen daughter discovers that the dead are a lot more polite than the living cult members. (I learned that dead bodies could fart which I guess is not that polite. They don't say excuse me.)

Everyone in town, except the dead people, are obsessed with Hell. Audre, the teen daughter, is goth and her dad researched the occult for the books he writes. Oh boy, that sets off some alarms in the cult community A girl goes missing and Audre's dad is arresting because why not. The family is considered a bunch of weirdos so why not blame them?

Here's the thing. The occult studying dad and the mortician mom are way more loving and understanding, and smarter, than the overbearing cult members. The people who are considered weird are the most grounded people in town. 

Some blood and gore and one particularly nasty way to die. But ultimately, it's a story of a family that hangs in together due to their love for each other. I should mention that it's also a good mystery.

Thanks to Underlined Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review an eARC of The Wicked Unseen.
