We’ve all got our demons, some more literal than others. 
Clio’s got a dead alcoholic narcissistic mother and a possessed house. 
Rachel Harrison’s latest horror novel sunk its claws into my neck and dragged me into the shadows to drink down my fear and when I finally emerged, I was covered in glitter. 
Play Nice is a brilliant and vibrant take on the classic haunted house novel. It pulses neon, it bleeds black, it pokes at bruises and reopens old wounds. Clio is messy and chaotic and beautiful and sharp and I love her, I love her, I love her. This is Rachel Harrison’s best, scariest, most fun book yet, and it’s going to stick with me for a long time. 
I couldn’t put it down, and neither will you. 
This demon doesn’t like to give up its favorite toys.
