2010 book 154

Joshilyn Jackson's Backseat Saints
I really liked Jackson's last book and was eagerly awaiting this one, even though she's known as a Southern Women's Writer whcih isn't my usual thing. It starts off strong, with a woman in an abusive marriage being told by a gypsy that she has to kill her husband or he'll kill her, but the last third was just . . . not great or realistic in any way. Sigh. Then, weirdly, at the very end is what seems to be the first chapter of one of Jackson's earlier books (Gods in Alabama), which ties in to this one. I'm not gonna read it. B.
