This book had great suspense, and the tension was top-notch.

The author's imagery was almost artistic at times, which made the premise of the story that much more intense.

What it says on the tin really - book about a woman who thinks she’s been possessed by a demon. Just wish it was longer - it felt like we got the gist of the plot, but missed out on details so it felt rushed. Its short length is great for a quick unsettling read but does a disservice to the directions this story could’ve taken.

Perhaps this simply is not my genre. I found the main character annoying - too annoying to enjoy the book. In the end I didn’t really care what happened to her and don’t get why the demon is so happy to still be with her even after she’s been locked up. I also didn’t care for how the killing of Edward was breezed over and if I’m not mistaken, he had been cheating on her since the start of the book, no? Again, this may not be a genre for me.

That was so good.
The writing style at first made me think I wasn't going to like this book but Jesus Christ does it pick up.
I could write an essay on the writing of this book. My only gripe was starting out but other than that holy shit
