Couldn't put it down. The author did a great job of putting a unique and spooky twist on an awesome possession story. ( )

Holy Moly, cross myself and scream! I was in the mood for a horror book. I was very curious if I could be scared by just reading a book.

I asked one of my groups to recommend a horror book that actually did scare them and I picked from the ones everyone listed. I went with this book and, oh my golly, I was not disappointed.

There was the perfect amount of gore, which I have not read before, a perfect amount of suspense and the absolute perfect amount of whaaaaaat in the world! How are they going to rid themselves of the demons!?!

If you are looking for a scary horror story that may or may not stay with you for the rest of your life, pick up this book and read it.

It was exactly what I was looking for and I was not disappointed!

Now I need a non scary book to calm my nerves and make me feel normal again! ( )

This was exactly what I wanted out of a spooky house book. I liked the characters. I liked the pacing. And there was just enough “WTF!” to keep me reading without going overboard. And the ending was great. Definitely recommend. ( )

Let me start off by saying I've read some REALY great books this year, and each one seems to get better than the next. With that being said, The Exorcist's House by Nick Roberts is no exception. Being a family man, the constant fear running through me while reading this felt so real. The pace never let you settle back for a breather. Every thing culminates into an ending that will make the hairs stand up on your arms. This is definitely a must read for horror fans. Great job, Nick! ( )

The plot was compelling and kept me engaged enough to want to find out what happened next. I thought the story was interesting and different, but I don't read a lot of exorcism horror so take that into account.

The body horror was excellent! The author really knows how to paint a gruesome picture and I loved that.

The writing needs work, though. There was a lot of telling and not showing. The POV seemed weird at times. Even though we were in one character's head we would be told what another character was feeling, and I felt like we were just bouncing around too much. The audience doesn't need to be in everyone's head and know all the details all the time.

Overall, I feel like the author has potential and just needs to work on finding a writing style. ( )
