Suburban Hell by Maureen Kilmer

4.0

4 stars to Suburban Hell, a fun possession story that would be a perfect read for fall.

This book was a blast to read and I think it would make for a really fun movie. Three women who became friends in suburbia must figure out a way to get their fourth friend back from the darkness that has possessed her before everything truly goes to hell.

I loved the focus on female friendships and motherhood in this book, it wasn’t heavy handed, but in a good balance with the horror aspects. I’m also all about moms being the protagonists in books-it usually makes it a fun read for me. It gave me My Best Friends Exorcism vibes, but if they were about 20 years older, drove mini vans and planned school carnivals.

I really liked all the main characters, especially Amy who is trying to figure out who she is beyond being just a mom, I could definitely related. I liked that each character was unique and well developed.

I definitely recommend this one-it’s a great fast paced possession story with great characters and will keep you hooked until the end.
