Possess by Gretchen McNiel - Book Review by Lindsay


Possess by Gretchen McNiel
 
 
Gretchen McNeil‘s first novel “Possess” is about 15 year-old half Irish/half Chinese exorcist Bridget Liu. Who’s trying to adjust to sudden changes in her life, like, her father’s murder, and finding out that she has the power to banish demons back to the underworld. This book is very dark, the whole thing is about demons, ghosts, murder and exorcisims, so, not great if you're more into the "happy books". Bridget is a kick-butt heroine, sarcastic and can come off as a little rude at times. This book is great if you like horror or mystery type books. (Which, I do.) The book has a great and interesting plot that kept me up late at night, reading. It has mystery, horror, suspense, a little humor, action, romance, and some unexpected plot twists. However, the book lacks details on the characters, and you don’t really get to know their personality very well. I did like the book though and I’d love to see it made into a movie!
