Pretty solid in & out possession story. The selling point is that we're locked into the perspective of the five year old girl who is both innocent and more perceptive of her surroundings (her feuding parents) than they give her credit for. First book I've read in a while that has a bonafide haunting monster, and I think this book does a good job of delivering some creep. I don't think the author capitalized on how much shock could be delivered through the eyes of a small girl (which is fine, don't necessarily need to go for gasps all the time), but the ending was just okay.

Only other critique is a plot incosistency whereby the parents, whilst supposedly out of earshot of their daughter and thus w/o any reason to lie, recall some experience from when they were both in college, but later it's revealed that they didn't know each other in college.
