“when you eliminate the impossible, all that remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
synopsis:
the story follows mallory, a young woman, who just got out of rehab, begins working as a babysitter for a rich family. from there, she begins to notice a strangeness to the young boy’s artwork.
i've seen a lot of good reviews about this book on tiktok, so i decided to immediately dive in.
plot: ⭐️ 5.0
first of all, i am not really a fan of supernatural thriller, but this book is really good. the plot was amazing and the book setting is giving that creepy, eerie vibe. i also love that there are representation of the drawings, so it was easier to imagine.
characters: ⭐️ 4.0
the characters have interesting personalities, and it did help provide more suspense and mystery in the whole story. the bond mallory and teddy has is heart-warming.
ending: ⭐️ 4.0
to be honest, i was very hooked from the first page and was indeed invested in mallory and her quest to find the truth. lastly, i did not expect the plot twist—it was clever and very well thought-of. however, it would’ve been better if it was revealed in a more shocking and jaw-dropping way. also, there are some parts that lack emotions. but overall, it is a great combination of fantasy and reality, definitely an amazing read.
if you are looking for a supernatural thriller that will keep you guessing until the end, look no further.
