I just finished this book moments ago. After I read the last line, I blinked and sighed, then came to write a review. No waiting on this one.
This is old school horror at its finest, demon vs religion, ready to disturb and creep you out. One of the things I respect about authors is when they can write really disturbing scenes without going into graphic detail, yet still be as unsettling as the in your face violence. Fracassi excelled at doing this. Multiple scenes aren't overly detailed in the book, yet are very vivid in my mind due to the skilled way in which Fracassi let it play out.
The ending thankfully did not feel rushed like can sometimes happen when the climax finally hits. It was fleshed out, tense, and the ending... Oh, that last bit was good. I don't know why I didn't expect it, but there I was caught off guard, and not mad about it.

I wish there had been more of a "why" or a message behind everything that happened
