Recommend for fans of Rosemary's Baby or people who, like me, are tired of the same possession narratives and want something new.

Amazing. Utterly, horrifically, amazing.
A slow decent into madness........ or possession. Her husband Edward and those closest to her can't see it. Strange occurrences are written of as coincidence. Minor violent outbreaks are chalked up to stress. Somthing is going on..... dogs and small kids always know. They can't be wrong, can they?
I greatly respected the use of biblical references towards the "demon." It shows the care and research the author used when writing. Every word in this book was thought out and well placed. As a Christian, the whole thing scared me. How easily the "demon" took over. How the little clues go unnoticed and, if are noticed, are chalked up to everyday happenstance. It isn't until the entity fully took hold that the woman even noticed, and even then those closest to her dont. A gripping read in every sense of the word.

It's a book about demonic possession, so there are are a lot of psychosis-esque symptoms, although the main character is not actually psychotic/schizophrenic. This book may be triggering to readers with psychosis, especially those with religious delusions.
