***SPOILERS AHEAD***
It was okay... Jack's daughter Charlie is starting to act very strangeafter a car accident that was endured by the family. Strange things are also happening around the house that are scaring his other daughter and his wife. And he's starting to get a bit afraid as well. Okay the first part of this book was so slow moving! I feel like the beginning is all just the same information being repeated over and over again. the story doesn't finally start to pick up until over halfway through the book. And the book doesn't really start to get good until about five chapters till the end. When things finally do start to happen, it is all very typical and predictable for a demon possession story. I do like the flashbacks that Jack has though. They add depth to his character and are very well done and not disorienting to the reader in any way. The other characters really don't have the depth that Jack has but then again he's the main character so I can't complain. There are two things that I want to tip my hat to Ania Ahlborn for: One is the amount of detail in her books. For lack of a better way to put it, it is perfect. There is not too much and there is not too little and it leaves a lot to the imagination which makes it all the more horrifying. The second is that she never leaves a happy ending it seems. Anything and everything bad can and will happen in her books. As an aspiring writer myself, I write my short stories in this manner and I find it to be much more grabbing for the reader. This was not one of her best books but it was okay and a fun read. I would recommend it as one of her books.
