The family was not compelling, the big reveal was disappointing, the setting was boring.

It was good, but I was a little disappointed since I was expecting more creepy and scary stuff to happen. And the husband really irked me in this book. Like why did he let it get this far and do nothing at first? The ending isn't bad; I was hoping it would go in the other direction, but it's not, which is sad and tragic, to be honest.

Anyway, if you love horror and need a fast-paced read, I highly recommend this book.

5.0

A chilling book about generational trauma, with horrifying supernatural elements. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time, finishing it in two sittings because I had to know what happened next.

Artfully explored the cycle of generational trauma through a scary and gory lens. The descriptions of the demon were  visceral and terrifying, with the possessed child resulting in a bleak ending of another repetition of this dark cycle

. Absolutely recommend for lovers of supernatural horror or beginners to the genre like me.

I did enjoy the book, it did keep me on the edge of my seat for a while. But after a while I kept, you know, waiting for something more I guess. It’s a good quick read though!
