I put in for this book as it was labelled for Stephen King fans. I thought this was setting the bar high; it failed miserably to even reach halfway! I am a lover of supernatural and horror books but this disappointed me greatly. The writing was wooden and the story ponderous . I thought the characters were poorly drawn and not at all well rounded. I could not engage with any of them. The best thing about the book, in my opinion was the prologue, which set the premise of a missing girl, with a hint of witchcraft. After that the tale seemed to drag and failed to hold my interest. I must admit I gave up at the halfway point and have no inclination to find out the conclusion. One sadly disappointed reader!

I don't understand what happened. The first one was so good and fun, but this one was so preachy and over explained. It's like they were written by two different people.

This is technically the second book in a series but written in a way that you don’t have to read the first. It can help but it’s not needed. Again this was very religion heavy as the first which works for the story but not my favourite thing in horror books. I was confused as to why certain things were happening but it was spooky and I did enjoy it more than the first one.

I want more from this author after finishing both The Anomoly Files and The Possession back to back. Couldn’t put these books down. Ken is hilarious. Nolan had some seriously thought provoking points throughout each book. What can I say I loved all the characters.

I really liked the first book. This was a serious struggle to get through. You’d think a book about witches and demon possession would be more gripping but the reveal took over 180 pages to get to and even then was slow moving. The narration just falls super flat and short of trying to describe the weird psychological goings on of the story. The narration style just tends to over explain and overuse similes until you’ve read a whole paragraphs s don’t really feel like you’ve gained much. Very monotonous.
