This book achieves a steady balance of gorgeously grotesque surrealism along side a grounded perspective. While I wouldn't describe the book as overtly 'funny', the frankness of the main character's narration has a sort of 'Fleabag-esque' quality to it; approaching it's dark and twisted plot with humour. The writing style was throughly engaging and I found myself siding with Amanda and even at times, with her demon.

How long is someone willing to lie to themself, before accepting they've been possessed by a demon?
I wanted this book to be better, but it was still really fun! There isn't as much blood or gore horror, more just the downfall of a woman.
Not my cup of tea, but still a rec for thoes looking for a demon horror that doesn't go as hard as A Head Full Of Ghosts or The Exorcist.

Not written very well and the plot is weak. Some reoccuring comments about hair seem anti-Black. The characters aren't likeable and the plot has no real development or twists. Also not very scary or thrilling. Do not recommend reading.
