Was a fun, fast read. I’m not sure if the author intended the “twist” at the end to be one, but I saw it coming pretty early on. Even with that, it was a nice horror read to break up my other books on my to read list.

Creepy ass child standing at the end of the bed in the middle of the night……sign me up
Needlessly dark and hopeless, and you know I usually love this kind of shit. A great sense of place and atmosphere, but relentlessly cruel.

I would have liked this book more if the author hadn't used that old sexist trope of the controlling fun-killing shrewish wife. There was really no need for it. It served no purpose. What really soured me was one scene where the wife bemoaned the fact that she had to chew out the school principal and yelled that Jack should have done it because he's the man. UGH. I also could not understand why Jack couldn't tell his wife about the devil/demon. Apparently, the devil wouldn't let him but it wasn't very convincing. Overall I am disappointed and annoyed.
