No Road Home by John Fram

4.0

After Toby marries into the very religious, wealthy, televangelist Wright Family, he isn’t sure what he or his son, Luca are up against. When he ventures out to their estate to meet them all in one place for the first time, the bigotry and ghosts come out in full force.

NO ROAD HOME by John Fram is a hugely character-driven, anger-fueled family drama with some supernatural thrown in.

I loved the characters of Toby, Luca, and Julian so so much and I wish we got more characterization and a detailed backstory of Willow as well. With that being said, the character list in this book is STACKED, so be prepared to memorize that family tree (there’s a nice little key at the beginning that was extremely helpful!), but if you’ve been around here a while, you know I love when books have a long character list!

I found the televangelist aspect to be extremely unique and made this book even more uneasy when it came to the secrets that were slowly revealed, and almost wish that aspect were built up in an even wilder way.

This is my first read from John Fram and won’t be my last!

*triggers will be posted on Storygraph - but major bigotry all-around*

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
