What it says on the tin really - book about a woman who thinks she’s been possessed by a demon. Just wish it was longer - it felt like we got the gist of the plot, but missed out on details so it felt rushed. Its short length is great for a quick unsettling read but does a disservice to the directions this story could’ve taken.

 I like my horror to be a bit gorier or spookier than this one was willing to go, but I can't pretend it wasn't compellingly written, seeing as I read it in one day.

It’s a gripping story that pulls you in. Once you break through the initial part you cannot put it down. Well written and crafted. Twists and turns. A modern yet realistic representation of this event. Not overdone.

This is a great quick read! I really did enjoy this book and the writing was phenomenal. It was spiraled so quickly I didn't want to put it down.
