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!

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

I did enjoy the book, it did keep me on the edge of my seat for a while. But after a while I kept, you know, waiting for something more I guess. It’s a good quick read though!

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
