Doesn't Live Up to the Hype

I snapped this up because if you compare something to MBFE you better believe that I’m gonna read it. I’m forever chasing the high of an exceptionally good possession story. Unfortunately this book didn’t live up to the hype for me. To me this seemed on the surface like a mixture of The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires and My Best Friend’s Exorcism but sadly it just fell flat. I was never blown away by anything that happened, it seemed like the author was maybe afraid to take this story where it really needed to go in all aspects; the horror, the friendships, the stakes, the possession, the backstory. However I know this was the author’s debut novel and I’m ready and willing to read more from them. I think this author could be very good, they just need to push a little further!
