Another awesome read from Anya! I did not see the end coming at all. Had me guessing what was really happening the whole time. I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to read even more of hers!

Like others, I hated the main character. He didn’t make sense, but that is very intentional. There were funny moments, but overall, pretty dark. I found the story predictable, but their were still plenty of twists that made it not feel boring.

The family was not compelling, the big reveal was disappointing, the setting was boring.

Triggers galore! So be careful before diving into it. It was good but I still have unanswered questions so I am giving it 4 stars.

5.0

A chilling book about generational trauma, with horrifying supernatural elements. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time, finishing it in two sittings because I had to know what happened next.

Artfully explored the cycle of generational trauma through a scary and gory lens. The descriptions of the demon were  visceral and terrifying, with the possessed child resulting in a bleak ending of another repetition of this dark cycle

. Absolutely recommend for lovers of supernatural horror or beginners to the genre like me.
