About this deal
Most importantly, there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing right up until the very (crazy, unpredictable) end. One small issue is that Teddy has an imaginary friend who seems to be encouraging him to draw pictures. It was a great way to delve into her character and it came back up in multiple places throughout the book. Mallory and her newfound friend Andrien dig into the history of the area and try to solve the message from the disturbing drawings.
Recovering addict Mallory Quinn has a new babysitting job with the Maxwells, and she adores their precocious five-year-old, Teddy.The pictures, well, they didn’t work quite as well for me as I would have liked but I think that’s a technical issue related to the settings of my e-reader more than anything else so rather than having the shock value that was the aim I found myself having to piece things together a little bit.

The story line has been done a ton in horror movies and books but had a great twist here that made it stand out and not feel redundant. I would definitely give the author another go and have heard wonderful things about his debut novel The Impossible Fortress. I found myself quickly engrossed in the story and wanting to learn more about the pictures and the strange things happening around/in the house. I’m telling you there is zero chance of Mallory not knowing the truth within hours of starting her job.I will say that Rekulak’s style of writing is good as this was a pretty interesting way to start a horror novel.
