I wish I could tell you, but you’ll have to read the book and experience it yourself. I kept expecting a break in intensity, but once the story really gets rolling, it never stops. I felt they were important to get the story across, but they went down hard. I’m sure you’ve heard that saying, “Not for the faint of heart?” That covers this book nicely.

I’ve watched plenty of stories about possessions and people being haunted. ![]() Later, it was used sparingly and worked quite well. It seemed every time she addressed her, that word was used. She used ‘love’ to address her daughter and it got so repetitive. The rough start was no biggy, I just got irritated by one of the character’s. How’s a girl to resist!Īfter a bit of a rough start, I fell into this creepy supernatural story and enjoyed it quite a bit.
