dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

This book was a blast to read. All the elements of a campy, modern day exorcism with a deplorable MC. Jack Sparks leaves you questioning reality, and in the final pages manages to close up gaping potholes that you barely noticed while reading, which left me wanting to punch Alistair in the face.

Would be 5 stars but good lort I needed closure on Corvi 😂
