The Details:
Narrated by Eric G. Dove
Unabridged

August pick for the Horror Summer Camp Book Club.

This was fantastic. It took the child possession trope and created more of a psychological and eery narration.

I thought the characters were excellent to read about and I loved how we flipped back and fourth to Jack's early life.

I kind of wished we got even more information about the dark entity, and I wasn't sure how it was going to end but it shocked me! 

Really enjoyed this one and I think it was a great final pick to close out the summer camp of horror reads

The first book I have read by Ania Ahlborn and I was VERY impressed with this story.

It’s a disturbing demonic possession tale that pulls no punches! Very engaging and had my jaw dropped at the store as I listened to the best/worst ending I had ever read.
