I don't read many demonic possession stories but this was a fun take on one. It delivered on just the right amount of horror and disturbing scenes while also providing a bit a humor to keep the story entertaining. I enjoyed that this was set in a suburban neighborhood with mothers that are only focused on their kids who now have to deal with this demonic presence. Not only did we get horror, but it also brought up the importance of friendship, motherhood and how it takes a village to raise children. While I enjoyed most of this story, I wish the ending scenes were a little longer and not so rushed. If you are looking for a more lighthearted horror story that doesn't seem to take itself too seriously then this would be the one for you!
