At the end of Needless street lies a house with boarded up windows and strange things going on inside.
Ted lives there with his cat Olivia and his daughter who visits sometimes Lauren. Ted drinks a lot and loses time in his days. Olivia loves Ted more than anything and is always there to comfort him and bring him back to reality when he starts walking funny. Lauren loves to play and have fun, but she is always ready to leave and does not like Ted.
Dee has just moved into the house next door to Ted. She is convinced that he has something to do with her sister's disappearance as a child. She knows something weird is going on, and she is determined to figure it out. She watches day and night for a chance to find her sister.
This book was full of so many twists and turns. I was never could have guessed where the book was going.
