Campy!
The Exorcist meets the 80s in this nostalgic, fun, and creepy read from Grady Hendrix! Set against the backdrop of 1980s high school life—complete with mixtapes, mall hangouts, and tight-knit friendships—this story blends dark comedy and horror with a heavy dose of camp. Abby and Gretchen are inseparable best friends, but after a bizarre night out, Gretchen begins to act... different. What starts as teenage rebellion quickly spirals into something darker, as Abby becomes convinced that her best friend is possessed. It’s up to her to save Gretchen, even if it means going up against demonic forces, clueless adults, and her own doubts. The book masterfully balances moments of genuine terror with laugh-out-loud 80s references, making it an unforgettable and thrilling ride. One of my favorite reads from Hendrix, and a must for fans of horror with a campy twist!

Like Reading A Movie (The Book's Better)
It's definitely the book equivalent of a cheesy 80s horror movie, you connect with the main characters really well. I will say, anyone wanting to watch the movie version will be disappointed. Definitely more for YA!

Best Fiends Forever
Abby’s best friend Gretchen started to change. Weird things started happening around school and Abby seems to be losing her friendship with Gretchen because of it. Abby believed something terrible happened to her friend and wasn’t sure what is going on could it just be normal teenage angst or could her friend be possessed by an evil entity I liked the book. However, I think the book is more for YA. I found it to be a tad bit boring and the death of MAX was really unnecessary.

The perfect trip back to the 80's- with a twist!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I thought it was hilarious how a grown man could perfectly channel the 80's teen girl and capture it perfectly in this book. Oh the nostalgia! If you're looking for a trip down memory lane and love stories with an eerie storyline, then you will LOVE this book. The funny thing is, I had a Volkswagen Rabbit as a teen girl just like the one in this book! So many parallels that just made me love the book that much more! Highly recommend!

We love the eighties, possession and all
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s the eighties baby, and best friends Abby and Gretchen are cruising through life together. Big hair, loud makeup, and sneaking around with friends, all the typical teen past times. One evening, everything goes horribly wrong. What should have been an innocent bit of skinny dipping fun with friends turns into a frantic hunt for Gretchen. After a panicky evening, the friends are reunited and it seems all is well. Until it isn’t. Bizarre behavior and ever building horrors threaten to tear their friend group and families apart, and destroy best friends that were years in the making. Abby is having NONE of that, and fights to reclaim her friend from whatever has taken her away to this dark and horrible place. Five stars, fun, great story, and characters I felt like I could really connect to. A must read Hendrix novel!
