I have been putting odd this book for the longest time and when I finally decided to read it, I couldn't put it down.
The mystery behind the pictures as the story unfolds... I couldn't stop reading!

What I really enjoyed about Hidden Pictures is how it blends a slow-building tension with moments of genuine horror. The atmosphere is eerie, and Rekulak does a fantastic job of making you feel the growing dread that Mallory experiences. As the mystery unfolds, the book kept me on edge, and I found myself constantly trying to piece everything together before the characters did.
The writing is super engaging, with a strong focus on character development. Mallory’s struggle with her own past and her relationship with Teddy felt real, and I could easily relate to her anxiety and fear. Teddy, despite being a child, was incredibly unsettling, and the drawings made the story all the more chilling. The way Rekulak weaves the psychological horror with the mystery element was impressive—there were times when I wasn’t sure if I should be more afraid of what was happening in the real world or in Mallory’s head.
The pacing was great too. There were a few twists I didn’t see coming, and even though I had an idea of where the story might go, the ending was definitely not what I expected. It was creepy, thought-provoking, and left me with that lingering sense of unease even after I finished the book.
If you love thrillers with a supernatural edge and characters that feel real, Hidden Pictures is a must-read. It’s not just a typical horror story—it’s a deeply unsettling exploration of perception, guilt, and what happens when the lines between the real and the imagined start to blur.
