This book is a really enjoyable fast-paced horror story with a lot of heart. It’s not as good as My Best Friend’s Exorcism (mostly because I think it could use some fleshing out and expanding in some places), but it’s a pretty great read!

I can see why others would like this but I just didn’t connect. I’m not big into the type of music and I couldn’t connect to any of the characters. It just wasn’t for me

This was another very fun book by Grady Hendrix. This was a super unique take on a horror book. I should have done a review right after I finished, because now I can't remember everything I wanted to say about it. Loved the rock and roll theme! It wasn't as scary as the other two books of his I have read, but it was still a very good book
