The Possession of Natalie Glasgow by Hailey Piper
5.0
"Margaret grasped a clump of soil from her pile and let the grains sift through her fingers. Never underestimate the power of graveyard dirt. That power went both ways. She could have used it in her ritual last night, but the belladonna seemed more welcoming to a departed family member. It also gave strength to the presence of the dead."
This might be the best novella I have ever had the pleasure of reading. The Possession of Natalie Glasgow is a very unexpected take on the possession story we see from other books like The Exorcist or The Rite. A desperate mother at the end of her rope seeks help for her daughter who appears to consumed by a strange entity. The story walks you through the investigation done by Margaret who is an expert in the realm of the supernatural. With time running out, Margaret needs to find out the source of what plagues Natalie and rid her body of the presence before this innocent child hurts herself or somebody else.
I'm definitely overwhelmed with feelings about this book. There was a lot of emotion in every scene and the tension was wound tighter than a clam’s ass in high tide. Hailey Piper did a fantastic job in making this book atmospheric which I believe is crucial for this type of story. We are reading about a mother whose daughter is possessed by a spirit that is making the girl do some very unnatural things. The emotional tone should be evident here and the author nailed it.
