Little Heaven

Looks like I'm late to the Little Heaven party. Sorry. I really dragged on this one. Which is interesting, considering I devoured The Troop and The Deep. But this one...

Granted, I don't usually care for bounty hunter stories (Cowboy Bebop being an exception), but I reaaaalllly liked The Troop (especially giddy having spent childhood summers on PEI), and I rather enjoyed The Deep. But this one left me cold. I was excited over the cult aspect, but I was hoping for something like Ti West's The Sacrament. But the characters here never felt quite real enough for me, more tropey. I really only cared about the relationship between Minerva and Ebenezer. Not the backstory so much as how it informed their present relationship. And Nick Cutter is always brilliant at grue and body horror. He's practically flawless. But the story just didn't do it for me, which makes me sad.
