This was such a fun and genuinely hilarious read. The humor and pop culture references kept me hooked the entire time, making the audiobook so entertaining. The exorcism scenes brought in the real horror, especially with the creepy speaking in tongues—totally spine-chilling. Overall, I absolutely loved this, and it will definitely be the first of many Grady Hendrix books I dive into!

I found this novel slow and definitely in need of some edits. Parts of the story went on for an unnecessarily long time without any importance to the rest of the novel. I will say, once it picked up it was quite scary. Much scarier then any of Hendrix's prevous works. The ending was beautiful though. The final chapter had me in tears. I think I'd like to read a Hendrix novel that is just sad. That may destroy me.

This book was hard for me to read at times, I'm not sure if it is because the book is stuck between comedy/horror, and I couldn't get a good grip on it. 

If you like 80s nostalgia and a good exorcism story, this book will definitely interest you. For me, the writing was a little too juvenile at times, and the ending was kind of lack-luster. But I still enjoyed it.
