41 pages in and I have my first, “Oh sh*+” moment. Jaw dropped, thoroughly creeped out. This “other mommy” is terrifying and reminds me a lot of Pennywise and how he can become anyone you know and trust, just to get you close enough to scare the hell out of you. This book was something else dude… what a great, terrifying read. The ending was not what I wanted, but… yeah. Great book.
