Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell

Loved this book! I've been on the search for something similar ever since. This really takes the cake for me, a great late night read to get you in the feels. This book invoked the same suspense as watching a horror movie, pulling the covers over my toes in bed. Absolutely loved!

--Spoilers--
Absolutely horrifying but not so much I couldn't continue. The body horror did get to me a bit. I loved the character relationships between Sophie, Cameron and Lilias. Piper was monstrous and I will never, ever, ever have ceramic dolls or any for that matter. Except Barbies.

I really enjoyed this one - was easy to read and follow the story, tense, eventful and full of mystery and suspense. Didn’t want to stop and before I even knew it I was finished

This. Was. So. Good! I loved everything about this book. The characters were great, the setting was great, the atmosphere of suspense and creepiness was great, the plot was great. The dolls were properly scary. Immediately from the first chapter, I was hooked and that didn't change throughout. Just perfect.

And wow, that chapter towards the end, where we witness what happened to Rebecca, is so dark and heartbreaking and I can't believe the author took us there, but I'm so glad she did. This is a kind of dark writing that's usually left out cause it's too graphic, but I appreciate it's in here.
