chelford's review against another edition

Oh, boy. This isn't quite what I've come to expect from Hendrix, but it was still quite a ride. I don't know that it defied any expectations or thwarted any tropes, but I think that was the point. After

what happened to Good Dog Max

I was pretty sure I was done with this book, but the climax and denouement really stuck the landing. I can't recommend it without a warning to check triggers, but it was a solid read.

Demonic possession, some seriously unsavory jokes and bits concerning various minority groups (not central to rhe plot but present enough to disturb readers),

graphic pet death
