The Good Demon

At age 16, Clare is finally exorcised of the demon that has possessed her for around a decade. The problem? She loved that demon, and now she has to find a way to get that demon back.

This seemed like a promising novel, a unique take on the possession story. And there are a lot of cool ideas in here, but nothing really came to fruition. Plot points that seemed major like the cult that apparently most of the town was involved in just kind of trailed off, and the pacing was inconsistent. I don't care when the story moves rapidly in a YA novel, but some parts dragged on, and others that could have been more developed happened so fast that I was sure I had skipped a page or two. The ending also felt a little too tidy, all things considered.

Still, a great concept and a decent Halloween read. Plus, there's a dog named Eyeball. 3 demons out of 5.
