🌀 twists and turns

oh boy… I have so much to say about this book, I loved it then hated it then loved it again. I knew it was a turn of the screw retelling but man! It was done so well! I hated the parents so much and progressively hated them more. I think the monologues were a little cheesy but done well and the one year later wrapped up nicely without being to long.

Well that was a trip, I kept thinking I knew what was going on and boy, was I wrong. I liked this quite a bit. It does have its issues, but the fact that it was a well written, unique story, pretty much held my attention. I also appreciated that it was presented with artwork within, that was refreshing. Overall I enjoyed it.

Once this book picks up it hits like a freight train. 
I honestly didn't see the plot twist coming, and it was genuinely enjoyable to read. Definitely not for everyone

First thank you FlatIron Books and Goodreads for sending me this advanced reader copy to read and review! I was so excited to receive this horror/thriller/mystery and was not disappointed!

This book was everything I love, mystery, thriller, ghosts, murder, cute genuine boys next door, and a main character down on her luck you really want to succeed. Also, this book had amazing illustrations that not only went along with the story but were actually a part of it!! 

Hidden Pictures is about a recovering addict, Mallory, that lands a perfect babysitting job where she gets to live in her own renovated cottage on site and watch the sweetest little boy, all while being paid well and doted on by the family. Mallory’s second chance is going so well that when Teddy starts drawing gruesome pictures she wants to look the other way. But soon the pictures are getting more detailed, and as the haunting at this maybe not so perfect home starts to become more and more dangerous, Mallory starts to realize there is a lot more than just her job at stake. 

I don’t want to give away any of the twists in this one, because they are so well done! If you love horror, thrillers, or just want a unique read, pick this one up!! I cannot wait to read more by Jason Rekulak.
