Felt like a first book

The writing was just ok. It felt like a first book or someone without much experience. The descriptions were basic but sometimes it would get flowery but in an awkward place. I listened to the whole thing and was disappointed with the ending. I was actually ok with the performance but when he did womans voices they got annoying. I thought this was going to be scary and while I could see elements of the story the way it was written made it less so. Or maybe it was the voice actor, I don't know but I couldn't wait for it to be over. I was bored by the end...

Nothing great, but alright I guess

I love horror, and I read a lot of it. This was a very average demonic possession story with all of the cliches.

Meh at best.

The Bloodhound is a better creature than most of the others.

I went into this after reading another book by Nick Roberts. This one didn’t disappoint either. It made me truly uncomfortable going into my basement and weary of anyone who may seem…off.

I appreciate how Nick not only succeeded in getting me to hate the Hill Family (main characters) and cheer for them in the same breath. (I do apologize if that wasn’t the intention behind the Hill Family, just giving my honest opinion)
The dynamic of the Hill family was truly infuriating as well as utterly obnoxious. To be honest, only one of them was likable and she got points only because she’s a teenager and they’re supposed to be ridiculous. Despite their awful flaws, I absolutely love them. They all have “real” traits. They are occasionally shallow, but modest when it comes to how they want others to perceive them. I can genuinely see a lot of my past psychologists thinking the same exact way about themselves on a day to day basis as Daniel, not Mr. Hill, does. Despite my personal loathing for the Hills, their love for their family and hopeful outlook is quite a beautiful thing.

The descriptions of the world of the Exorcist House, the way Nick intentionally gives you just enough information but not to the point of overkill, is what I wish I would get from more authors. I can envision everything that is happening as if it was on the screen. This - as well as the others, need to be a trilogy plus more … like the Conjuring Universe. It’s hands down amazing. Whomever scoops this up is the next big thing. Cause…hot damn.

I adored this book and wanted to throw it sometimes. It made me question a lot of my fears of the basements, the unknown , and anything that is not of this world. I cannot wait to see more from Nick.

Also- the narrator doing “that voice” scared me so much I actually yelled wtf while out in public listening. I did NOT expect that at all. Great job Spencer!

Well crafted story

There are a lot of references most horror fans will understand in this book. The author does a great job of creating characters that are down to earth and react believably in situations. This was an enjoyable read and the narrator is great.

Love!

Pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let go until the very end! Highly recommend!
