Got this on a whim after seeing someone talk about it on Twitter. It’s a possession horror told from the point of view of the woman being possessed (or losing her mind—the book never 100% confirms whether what the narrator is experiencing is supernatural in nature or if she’s suffering some kind of psychotic break or if it’s just her own frustrations and unhealthy desires bubbling to the surface after being suppressed for so long). It’s a very fast read and satisfyingly nasty, though it doesn’t really do anything too far outside the realm of what you would probably expect for a novel with this premise. Recommend for horror fans and people who like stories with unreliable narrators.
