Come Closer is not the typical possession story. IS it a possession story?
Depends on your interpretation!
Amanda has been going through it. Hearing noises, seeing things, behavior untypical for her.
Is she coming into her own, or is it something much more sinister?
Come Closer by Sara Gran is unsettling in that it's not written like horror. It's straightforward, with a relatable main character. 
It's a quick and excellent creepy read. Recommended!

Really enjoyed this book! Quick and fun read to set the mood for halloween, although sometimes felt it was a little too quick and dramatic. Still, had a good time reading it :)

Felt proper bad for Amanda come the end bless x
