Description
Mary is a quiet, middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself.
But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can’t look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things.
Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown, hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. Instead, visions of terrifying, mutilated specters overwhelm her with increasing regularity and she begins auto-writing strange thoughts and phrases. Mary discovers that these experiences are echoes of an infamous serial killer.
Then the killings begin again.
Mary’s definitely going to find herself.

I loved this book. Maybe its because I am a 50 year old woman, but it ticked all of my boxes: unreliable narration by loner main character with scathing inner monologue, demonic possession (or is it?), misogynist cult members that had me chomping at the bit for bloody revenge. There are legit scares here, and the book is gory and hell in parts, but it is also humane and funny. Will definitely read more of this author.
