A Chicago cul-de-sac is about to get a new neighbor...of the demonic kind.

Amy Foster considers herself lucky. After she left the city and moved to the suburbs, she found her place quickly with neighbors Liz, Jess, and Melissa, snarking together from the outskirts of the PTA crowd. One night during their monthly wine get-together, the crew concoct a plan for a clubhouse She Shed in Liz’s backyard—a space for just them, no spouses or kids allowed.

But the night after they christen the She Shed, things start to feel . . . off. They didn’t expect Liz’s little home-improvement project to release a demonic force that turns their quiet enclave into something out of a nightmare. And that’s before the homeowners’ association gets wind of it.

Even the calmest moms can’t justify the strange burn marks, self-moving dolls, and horrible smells surrounding their possessed friend, Liz. Together, Amy, Jess, and Melissa must fight the evil spirit to save Liz and the neighborhood . . . before the suburbs go completely to hell.

"A cheerfully campy take on the usual concerns—conformity, boredom, demonic possession."—Chicago Tribune

"This delightful fiction debut is the hell-arious Desperate Housewives-esque novel that dreams are made of."—Buzzfeed

"A delightful, fun, spooky, scary story. At it’s core it’s about friendship and the bonds of love for these four women. Maureen has hit a home-run with her first novel"—Red Carpet Crash

This book made me chuckle. I loved how mundane the characters were despite the plot being anything but. Clear plot progressions and character motivations made for a great experience.
If you’re a fan of My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix, then you should definitely check this out.

So much fun.

It was not what I was expecting but I loved it! It had some funny parts and very relatable motherhood scenario. A great story about friendship and a little like Idol hands or Jennifer’s body!

Loved it!

I loved how I could relate to the characters in the book, I could easily picture each character and their personality like I was watching a movie. It was very relatable, funny and witty. Well written and spooky! Minus the evil that happens it could have been a story of my own suburban neighborhood and friends. Fun read!

Super fun, spooky and well told!
