I was intrigued when I heard this novel is like a cross between Stranger Things and The Exorcist. I have a soft spot for kids taking on the supernatural aspects of life and this novel delivers. Kenna and her friends decide to play around with her brother’s Ouija board one afternoon and start the process of unleashing an evil presence into their world.
Kenna is around 10 years old and her maturity level was very refreshing even though she effectively comes off as a younger sibling (if that makes any sense). Jake, her brother, is the logical rock of the story. Supportive, calm and loyally protective with a future in professional fighting. As they set out to fix what they did the reader is drawn in by the fierce family bonds and loyalty of friends. Fun fact, like most horror movies, the parentals always seem to be MIA.
Even though this novel has elements of violence and possession the author also wove underlying themes that focus on fixing your mistakes, pushing forward when times are tough, forgiveness and sticking together.
Overall this was a quick and easy read. The characters are lovable. There is graphic violence, sexuality, possession, spirits and drugs. I honestly think the creepiest part was the opening chapter and the rest was more a supernatural thriller.
Thank you to the author, Mr. Carl Alves, for the opportunity to read and review this novel for an unbiased opinion. I recommend this book for readers who enjoy creepy reads with younger MCs! (
