Deep in Providence is beautiful, it’s emotional, it’s creepy, it has lovable characters making potentially bad decisions, lots of magic, a witchy aunty, spirits roaming around creepily, BIPOC cast, lgbtq rep, and did I mention lots of magic?

What else could you possibly want?

Why aren’t more people talking about this???

The writing is absolutely gorgeous. I will read literally anything Riss M. Neilson writes from now on. The characters were so well developed and I wanted the best for all of them. It was way more emotional than I expected it to be, but in a great way. And it was shockingly creepy at times, which was a wonderful surprise. I only had one very small complaint and that was that the passage of time wasn’t clear in the novel. The novel felt like it happened over several months, but I think it really only happened within a few weeks. But that didn’t dampen my enjoyment at all. 

Please everyone go read this! Pls🥺
