My Darling Girl by Jennifer McMahon

4.0

This is my first Jennifer McMahon book and second book about demon possession. My first book was The Exorcist and I have to say, I liked this one better. The language in the Exorcist really took me out of it. I would definitely read from Jennifer McMahon again and I’m happy about that because I have another book of her, The Children on the Hill, on my shelves 😁

It is so hard to carry knowledge that only you know and believe when everyone else around you is either influenced by the dark entity you’re trying to banish or is in straight denial and thinks you’re crazy. I really sympathized with our MC, Ali, or Ali Alligator as her mom liked to call her. I do think in the rush of trying to prevent this entity from moving on to someone else, she made some silly choices. But, again, I sympathize because she’s desperate, alone and trying to protect her family against the supernatural. Something that not a lot of people believe in, especially her family. 😔 

I think this is definitely more horror than thriller with a twist at the end. This book was nothing ground-breaking but it was fun.
