Interesting book
I love the cover of this book and the title, "The Waters" is very inviting. When i rea the synopsis of this book I thought it was my kind of book, engaging prose, generational, with a touch of fantasy. I found it confusing from the beginning with the characters having many names and nicknames. I felt like I spent too much time trying to keep everyone straight with their crazy names. I am not a snake-liking person and although she did a great job describing the snake he was just not my cup of tea. The characters weren't likeable. I will not be recommending it to my friends but I'm sure it will be a great read for many people.

Rural Noir
This book started off rather slowly but it did pick up as it went along. An interesting and well-written story with a setting that is almost like a character itself … rather lyrical in its style. I thought the pacing was off during parts of the story, so that was a bit of a drawback for me. 3.5 star rating
