I am not a big fan of exorcisms but I have seen a few movies here and there.
The exorcism in the novel might as well be the best exorcism scene ever. Never thought I'd tear up during an exorcism but here I was with tears in my eyes and it got more and more towards the end of the book.
I Can't decide if this scene was better or the one from The Chilling Adventure of Sabrina Spellman. Oh and the one from Practical Magic!
bear in mind this is a book about exorcism so some gore should be expected
The audiobook is amazing !! The narrator did a good job being serious when the role required it and being funny and lighthearted when the scene called for it.

Genre-typical content for a horror book, hits a lot of 80s slasher tropes and some gore.ralibbey13's review against another edition

Thought out the story we see how much Abby cares about Gretchen's well being I also like how realistic her reactions to what was going on were. You sadly doing find a lot of realistic reactions in Horror novels.
What I didn't like:
What immediately took away 2 stars for me was
Overall:
Overall this book made for an okay audiobook to listen to while in the car or while doing chores but I could not bring myself to actually sit down and read the actual book.
Even though I did not always enjoy the book and reading it felt like a chore at time I will admit that it did have a very satisfying and realistic ending.
