challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Extremely well written and thought out.  But the racing felt off, and the finale was not as satisfying as the lead up. ALL of the character , including the demon, we insufferable humans to read about. But damn was it not effectivel  terrifying. Full review eventually .

It's a book about demonic possession, so there are are a lot of psychosis-esque symptoms, although the main character is not actually psychotic/schizophrenic. This book may be triggering to readers with psychosis, especially those with religious delusions.

I liked that it wasn't a The Exorcist rip off or mimic, how bleak it was, the use of religious myth, and how fucked up the ending was.
