Possess - Waiting on Wednesday

 

Possess by Grethen McNeil. Release date: August 23rd 2011. Published by Balzer + Bray(A Harper Collins Children's imprint).

Why am I pining for Possess?

A story about banishing demons back in to the hole the crept out from sounds like something I might enjoy reading + I'm a little bit in love with the cover. I don't usually like faces on covers but this just looks great.

Synopsis(borrowed from the Goodreads):

Fifteen-year-old Bridget Liu just wants to be left alone: by her mom, by the cute son of a local police sergeant, and by the eerie voices she can suddenly and inexplicably hear. Unfortunately for Bridget, it turns out the voices are demons – and Bridget has the rare ability to banish them back to whatever hell they came from.

Terrified to tell people about her new power, Bridget confides in a local priest who enlists her help in increasingly dangerous cases of demonic possession. But just as she is starting to come to terms with her new power, Bridget receives a startling message from one of the demons. Now Bridget must unlock the secret to the demons' plan before someone close to her winds up dead – or worse, the human vessel of a demon king.
