Very fun read, perfect eighties vibe. Pretty gory at times, but just couldn’t put it down. The perfect spooky read. Loved the high school friendships but felt very annoyed by the adults in this book. Exactly how a teenager would feel!

There were times when the gore was too much for me, but the way things came together in the end was lovely.

This story of the possession of a high school girl's best friend has great 80s vibes and lots of creepy horror. The tension increased throughout the novel with each horrifying act of the demon. The story explored the fear of losing a friend, through change or over time.
