"Thoughts are a door that the dead walk through."
Ted lives in an ordinary house on an ordinary street with his cat, Olivia. His daughter, Lauren, sometimes comes to visit. There is a serial killer on the loose, a stolen child, and secrets lie in the forest at the end of Needless Street.
I am late to the game, but I can definitely say this book lives up to the hype!
I don't know where to start because I don't want to spoil anything even if a ton of people have already read it, but for those of you who haven't, well I absolutely loved it! The spooky atmosphere, the development of the characters, unreliable narrators, different POVs, twists and turns. This book had it all 👏🏽
This was a very compelling, unique story. The writing pulled me right in and I was immediately thrown into the chaos. I felt dumb for not figuring things out sooner once the mysteries slowly unraveled itself, but that obviously didn't take away from my enjoyment as the story had me mesmerized from the start. I also appreciated the author's commentary at the end.
TLHONS was my first book by Catriona and it did not disappoint. I can't wait to get my hands on her other books!
