This was really engrossing, and a super straight forward account of a demonic possession. But besides the
Amanda’s nonchalant attitude towards the possession made things feel sorta... mundane, and I couldn't really find myself caring about anyone or anything. Like, oh no. The demon is shopping. How awful.
TL;DR:interesting premise. Meh execution. Engrossing writing.

Sadly, the ending felt cliché to me and was a bit disappointing.
There was a semi-frequent use of homophobic slurs throughout, including in the very first scene, and some racist rhetoric which was never really addressed. The main character isn't painted as a likeable person, but it still made me pause and wonder whether this was a reflection of her character or just the author. There was also a conflation between demonic possession and mental illness at points,

Increasing depictions of murder and gore towards the end of the book. Body horror, again more towards the end. Cursing throughout. Some mentions of characters vomiting. Use of homophobic slurs and at a few points some stereotyped depictions of people of colour. Mention of kidnapping. Graphically described instance of child abuse with a brief mention of parental abuse:inkdrinkers's review against another edition

I will say the content in this book is incredibly heavy and homophobic slurs are used multiple times (often through the lens of the demon being horrific). It was an interesting but uncomfortable read.

This novella has a lot. Murder happens on page with lots of blood and gore. A child is almost drowned. Animals are hurt. Homophobic slurs are used multiple times.darkcornerofthelibrary's review against another edition
