Just like Teddy, this story is made with a wild imagination steering us through all kinds of twists. I could not put this book down. The beginning of the book is a great set up. We meet Mallory, a recovering addict who needs a fresh start in life. With the help of her Wonder sponsor, she becomes the new live in nanny for a sweet child, Teddy, who has a weird habit of drawing these grotesque pictures. I will say, the first part of the story got in my head to the point where I needed to read something different because I got a little jumpy. Then right when you think everything is going to be predictable, the story takes a sharp left. I was stunned. I went from being incredibly scared to incredibly sad, and maybe a little angry. An absolute thriller I couldn't put down. Incredible art to compliment the complex mystery, every horror and thriller fan should read this book.
