And it's funny--I was also a bit taken aback that there weren't more actual, literal snakes involved. <br /><br />I think 2016 was a phenomenal year for new YA contemporary authors.

This is hands down one of the best books I have ever read, and I fully agree, I had to buy it as soon as I finished- I was reading an eARC- and then I was able to pet the cover too. SO much love for this book! Great review!

If you want to get more into the culture of snake handling religion (along with all its demons), check out "Salvation on Sand Mountain". Its an easy and enlightening read. For a story set in your part of the world, Robert Laxalt's "The Man in the Wheatfield". It's fiction and there are plenty of rattlesnakes (it is set in rural Nevada) and is a story of good and evil and fear of strangers.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.com
