This book is a messy little cocktail full of toxic characters, demon/haunted house and dysfunctional families. It also has an overarching chilling theme of belief vs. delusion. Basically blurring the line between authentic memories and the distorted ones twisted through retellings and manipulation.
Don’t read this book if you hate unlikable characters. Every character sucks. Absolutely toxic. Zero redeeming qualities. Normally that’s a buzzkiller for me in books but I was busy watching the dysfunction unfold like it was the season finale of a trashy reality show.
Ok and the demon? So it’s slightly slow. The first 70% is giving unsettling vibes, like you know something’s off but not a ton of stuff happens. Then BOOM…demon time. I’m talking real evil, disturbing, psychotic chaos. The demon is unhinged, horrific and violently creative. (Horror lovers- Take this with a grain of salt, but I’ve personally never read anything else like this but it was tummy gross and I will 100% be sleeping with the lights on.)
For me I think the most terrifying part of the book was the whole thing with memories. What’s real, what’s planted, what’s someone else’s twisted version of the truth, what’s manipulation. It was crazy? Chef’s kiss. Deliciously confusing in the best way, like gaslighting but make it literary.
If you like nice characters and happy endings, run. But if you’re here for morally bankrupt weirdos, psychological spirals, and demons that go way too hard… Play Nice will absolutely ruin your night in the most entertaining way.
