Hidden Pictures had a really easy to read writing style and the drawings throughout the book were a really interesting addition. It’s a paranormal/supernatural thriller that wasn’t super believable but was really enjoyable. The ending really got me 😭

Apetecia-me ler um thriller, de preferência recente, e escolhi este para desanuviar a cabeça.
Li-o até ao fim, não porque tenha gostado mas porque há aqueles momentos em que ficamos sem nada para fazer, e que não são propícios a leituras que obriguem a grande concentração ou/e atenção.

Mas vamos lá por partes.

Isto não é um thriller, nem tão pouco uma história de terror. É um Young Adult, e mau.

Ted e Caroline são os pais de Teddy. Caroline é simpática e calorosa. Trabalha com viciados, por isso quer dar uma oportunidade a Mallory. Ted é menos simpático e flexível. Teddy é uma criança estranha.

A Mallory é uma viciada em recuperação que arranja emprego como ama de Teddy. De resto é só uma miúda idiota.

A primeira parte da história é só acerca de questões do dia-a-dia da ama e da criança. O Teddy está a tomar o pequeno-almoço, o Teddy está na casa-de-banho, o Teddy está na piscina, O Teddy está nos bosques, O Teddy tem uma amiga imaginária…..O Teddy desenha.

Depois aparece um espírito
