Review:

This was an intriguing and unique style of book compared to what I have read before. The story incorporates several different media styles, which keeps it engaging and fresh! I love a good ghost story, and this one delivered. With multiple POVs, we get Ronnie's perspective as she recently bought a home and is grieving. I enjoyed Ronnie's chapters. Bart's chapters, however, were rather dull and sometimes moved at a snail's pace, although they did have some spooky moments, albeit toned down. Lastly, Sloane's chapters were the highlight. I loved getting inside the ghost's mind and that aspect was fascinating!


The beginning of the book was a bit of a struggle, but if you push through, the ending is strong and absolutely amazing! If you're looking for a different kind of ghost story that includes revenge and various intriguing aspects, then you should pick this one up. Just remember to stick with it for that ending—it makes the book! Thank you, Poisoned Pen Press and Netgalley, for the opportunity to read and review this one. It was definitely a spooktacular experience!

Title:The Exorcist  Author: William Peter Beatty Published: June 1971 Published by: Harper Torch  Genre: Horror  Pages: 385 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5  Review: We have all heard of the legendness of this book! One of the monumental horror books of the time, and one that has lasted up to todays standards even though it was written over 30 years ago.
