From Little Stack

It’s only natural to outgrow your childhood friends. After all, high school might as well be a whole new universe compared to grade school. But Abby knows that when her best friend Gretchen starts acting strange it isn’t because they’re drifting apart. The only explanation that makes sense is that Gretchen is possessed. And there’s no way she’s letting a demon get between them.

With a gang of unlikely allies, Abby sets out to prove that their friendship is so strong that it can even beat the devil.

Publisher Description

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, this unholy hybrid of Beaches and The Exorcist blends teen angst and unspeakable horrors into a pulse-pounding supernatural thriller.

The year is 1988. High school sophomores Abby and Gretchen have been best friends since fourth grade. But after an evening of skinny-dipping goes disastrously wrong, Gretchen begins to act…different. She’s moody. She’s irritable. And bizarre incidents keep happening whenever she’s nearby.

Abby’s investigation leads her to some startling discoveries—and by the time their story reaches its terrifying conclusion, the fate of Abby and Gretchen will be determined by a single question: Is their friendship powerful enough to beat the devil?
