I loved this book. I docked it a few points for some unanswered plot lines..
I  am confused about Ted, the husband. Was he really spying on Mallory? Why in the world was he in her cottage that night? Was he seriously in love with her??
I read a lot of thrillers and can often tell what’s going to happen but the twist in this came out of no where for me.

“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.

Oh my I loved this book!!! It was different from your typical suspense thriller!! The twist was perfect! I can’t say much because it will give everything away but this was a very quick read and the ghost story aspect mixed in was fantastic!
