Grabbed this during the latest audible 2-for-a sale, and gave it a go on a long drive for Spooky Season.
Let me say that I know today's traditional publishing is all about likening books to others (some agents even ask for it when querying), but this one says Bad Moms meets My Best Friend's Exorcism and unfortunately it's so spot on that it feels almost as if this book exists simply to be those two things blended. It does not read at all unique.
A set of best friend soccer moms unearth a demonic entity when breaking ground on their to-be she-shed. Throughout the summer, their boxed-wine nights become less frequent as their possessed friend slowly marks each of them for doom and gloom. When some of them think moving away might be the only decision left to them, Amy, the lead, decides she has to bring them back together to free their friend for good.
There are some very annoying (to me) stereotypes of husbands not helping, not listening, not being involved. I apologize that women still deal with things that should be from generations past, and it's certainly not a fault of the author's for including it, but it felt like a lot. (Men stop being tone dead and lazy)
I still had a decent amount of fun with this on though. The main character and author's voice were enjoyable and realistic. Personally a 3/5*.
