  <default_description>If everything in Amanda's life is so perfect, then why the mood swings, the obscene thoughts, the urge to harm the people she loves? What are those tapping sounds in the walls? And who's that woman following her? The mystery behind what's happening to Amanda in &lt;i&gt;Come Closer&lt;/i&gt; is so frightening that it &quot;ought to carry a warning to...readers.&quot;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Although I read this little book in just one sitting on a Friday evening, it continued to creep on me all weekend. It's not a blatant horror novel, but it is quite haunting. Whether or not the protagonist, Amanda, is truly possessed by a demon or &quot;merely&quot; going insane, you can still feel h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41765727">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Read this book today. almost in one sitting. Its a short book, barely 200 pages.. and a terrifyingly quick read. I think I worked myself up about it a bit too much, based on the reviews I had read.... afraid to start it until I was sitting in full daylight, fearful that it would be way too creepy an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9467238">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[In Come Closer by Sara Gran, we come back to the idea of demonic possession vs. mental instability. I didn't really find this book that scary, but others might. Somehow I still felt outside of the main character, Amanda's, situation - despite the insider's point of view. Most of the time I just didn...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12498299">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a fun, quick read. The prose was efficient and very effective. As dark and fantastic as the plot moved along, it was believable and gripping. I found it interesting how possession and erratic behavior were drawn so parallel to one another.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's about a woman who slowly becomes possessed by a demon. But it's such a good book that you won't find it under horror, oh no. It's in the fiction and literature section. It's interesting reading about someone slowly becoming unhinged. Back when I was the one becoming unhinged, I remember actuall...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26046848">more...</a>]]></body>
