Abby and Gretchen have
been best friends since fifth grade, when they bonded over a shared love
of E.T., roller-skating parties, and scratch-and-sniff stickers. But
when they arrive at high school, things change. Gretchen begins to
act….different. And as the strange coincidences and bizarre behavior
start to pile up, Abby realizes there’s only one possible explanation:
Gretchen, her favorite person in the world, has a demon living inside
her. And Abby is not about to let anyone or anything come between her
and her best friend. With help from some unlikely allies, Abby embarks
on a quest to save Gretchen. But is their friendship powerful enough to
beat the devil?

MY REVIEW
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book. It has been so long since I read a horror novel. Of course, this book was completely a cover buy. I mean, look at it. It looks stunning! How would I not want to pick it up and read more! This story covers the type of horror that I love to both read and watch. Horror that is not too gory but creepy and a bit 80s cheesy as well.
There are so many aspects of this story that I loved. Firstly you have all of the 80's culture references which, as I was a kid in the 80s, I remembered a lot of them. Next, there was a great story build up. Yes I knew that there was something wrong but I wanted to see it play out and see what each of the characters do. Of course, I also wanted to find out what on earth was going on. There are so many more that I could list but I don't want to spoil the story for you.
This book was so much fun to read. I couldn't put this down and actually read it in one sitting!
