For me personally though, the payoff wasn’t enough. The climax was too quick and things didn’t really start amping up and getting interesting until the last couple chapters.
A long walk for a short drink of water. I feel like if the climax was drawn out a bit more, if there was more of a fight, it would have been worth it. Things just ended too quickly

This book, had it not made me uncomfortable to read at night and make me checking the depths darkness of the corner of my room, looking into my closet and fearing what was behind me on my trip to the bathroom at night. I definitely would have been able to read it in one sitting. However, that was not the case.
It did exactly as it should, it freaked me out, kept me on the edge of my seat, and was an absolute page turner. Every chapter had me thinking about everything. “What had Jack done?” and “Is Charlie lost forever?” or “Oh my god, Jack just tell your wife the truth, stop gaslighting her!” Had me fuming.
A form of Mr.Scratch lives in the back of my mind, restricting me of sleep and keeping my thoughts paralyzed in fear. Absolutely fabulous book.

I had anticipated this read for a long time, just seeing all the hype online. It didn’t really live up to it for me. I guess I expected a lot scarier of a story..?
It also felt super short. I really didn’t like the switching timelines in the middle of a chapter- it made the audio hard to follow at times.
Plus, I’ve never really liked movies or stories about demonic possession.. I find them boring😬
