Reviews with content warning for Murder - Acércate

A nasty little book with a predictable ending about one woman's experience with possession. I read this is one sitting. It definitely has some spooky moments with vivid imagery. Good for fans of Jennifer's Body, etc. The writing is quite simple, similar to YA albeit some of the graphic content.

I loved this. It was interesting to see the perspective of someone being possessed and how scary and disorienting it would be.

Honestly the first book that has ever terrified me. Although I enjoyed the compact length, I wished a few story elements were more elaborated on. There was a brief mention of an outdated attitude towards lgbtqia+ that was very minor, but deserves to be mentioned nonetheless.

Amazing. Utterly, horrifically, amazing.

A slow decent into madness........ or possession. Her husband Edward and those closest to her can't see it. Strange occurrences are written of as coincidence. Minor violent outbreaks are chalked up to stress. Somthing is going on..... dogs and small kids always know. They can't be wrong, can they?

I greatly respected the use of biblical references towards the "demon." It shows the care and research the author used when writing. Every word in this book was thought out and well placed. As a Christian, the whole thing scared me. How easily the "demon" took over. How the little clues go unnoticed and, if are noticed, are chalked up to everyday happenstance. It isn't until the entity fully took hold that the woman even noticed, and even then those closest to her dont. A gripping read in every sense of the word.
