Enjoyable read overall, with enjoyable characters and a mystery that presents itself in an interesting way. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t scary. Still, a good read for what it did give. 

The fact that the Devil was just a guy was kind of a let down. The mystery behind him wasn’t that good of a payoff. 

Pepper’s, and some of the secondary character’s, growth ended up being the most interesting part. Had the book presented itself like that early on, I might have given this a higher rating.
