A review by l4r4777
My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix

challenging dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I cried at the end of this book. I was mortified and gross out and thoroughly entertained, and I cried. This book has really intense and gross scenes, and everything else is dark and mysterious and packed with slasher-movie levels of fun. I adored it. Perfect for the spooky season, such a fun, gross book:) Also adore the cover I could stare at it all day.
