Sadly, the ending felt cliché to me and was a bit disappointing.
There was a semi-frequent use of homophobic slurs throughout, including in the very first scene, and some racist rhetoric which was never really addressed. The main character isn't painted as a likeable person, but it still made me pause and wonder whether this was a reflection of her character or just the author. There was also a conflation between demonic possession and mental illness at points,

Increasing depictions of murder and gore towards the end of the book. Body horror, again more towards the end. Cursing throughout. Some mentions of characters vomiting. Use of homophobic slurs and at a few points some stereotyped depictions of people of colour. Mention of kidnapping. Graphically described instance of child abuse with a brief mention of parental abuse:angryoppossum's review against another edition

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.
