This was a very clever story. Without any spoilers -  The good is how well the author wraps everything back in on itself and weaves the story together. The bad, if you read a story about a narcissist written in first person, you have to put up with a narcissistic narrator.

I'm struggling to review this book.
The first half was a cool take on exorcisms and laid some really interesting groundwork. The format had a fun found footage feel, all told by a jackass you love to hate. I cranked through that first half at light speed. 
Then came the second half. I don't mean to be harsh, but the story just fell apart. The groundwork that was so carefully laid in the first half is turned into ridiculous scenario after ridiculous scenario (and I normally love a good ridiculous scenario!).
In short, it was like reading two separate books and I greatly preferred the first one.
