Wow! This book was amazing. Invoking so much dread and it made me scream at the characters a few times. Once I picked it up I could not put it down. So well written. It should already be a movie tbh!

I love that the evil child trope wasn’t like others! Where it was demonic possession or supernatural. No this kid was mostly just suffering with mental issues and The author was still able to humanize her and make you not completely despise the child.
