My Thoughts:
This book follows Vera Martinez whose trying to survive in a town where everyone treats her like a dead freak because of her parents work which is similar to the Warren's work in the Conjuring movies. In this book though Maxwell Oliver needs Vera's help with her parents in Barcelona helping someone else the pressure is on Vera to help Max whose Mom has gone crazy.
Vera notices that the people in town are all crazy about a self help group. But is the group helping or are they taking over? Vera whose adamant she has no powers feels compelled to help her class mate. With the help of Vera's aunt and a local priest the hunt is on to help one helpless woman so over taken by grief she can barely get through the day.
This book was incredible especially for anyone who loves The Nun and The Conjuring movies it pulls you in and you can't put it down til you know the kids will be alright! I feel in love with Vera and felt for her when you read about her issues and Max's issues you want to take them somewhere safe!
