Oh, I really enjoyed this book! The Chicago-suburb setting was a nice surprise, too. I wonder if the author grew up here... Anyhow, this was a well-written, exciting book with a unique premise and framework. I really enjoyed it because it was so different from really any other type of book that I have read. It was a lot of fun!

A great read! Interesting and different from anything else I've every encountered. Looks at an alternate version of our world in which "demonic" possession is a common reality. A fun, unique fantasy novel. Kept me guessing until the end.

This was an interesting urban fantasy type book about an alternate world where a set of demons periodically possess people. It's a stand alone book and a creative read, but was a little hard to follow at times.

Parts of the story get a bit ambiguous and hard to follow; Del is struggling with his reality and some other realities which can be a bit tough to keep track of. However, it ended up being a decent story that kept my attention up to the end.

I really enjoyed the world-building. I also loved how supportive Del's family was despite him going through some pretty rough stuff throughout the story. I also thought the twist at the end was interesting and completely unpredictable without seeming contrived.

Overall I enjoyed this book. It was a creative urban fantasy read with some amazing world-building, an engaging story, and characters that are flawed but still surprisingly likable. I would recommend to those who enjoy gritty urban fantasy that's a bit ambiguous at times.
