Take Your Turn, Teddy by Haley Newlin

5.0

Take Your Turn Teddy is a spooky book that will give you the fall time feel in the middle of winter! Haley Newlin outdid herself in her second novel. I was in the middle of getting out of a reading rut when I picked up this book, and it pulled me right out of it. I started reading this book, and I couldn't stop! Take Your Turn Teddy will always haunt me because of the mental aspect of the book. As a person who feels alone most of the time, this book really hit the mark for me. From page, one Take Your Turn Teddy had me hooked. Teddy is a pretty relatable character. He is a young kid who grew up quickly. He also feels alone, which I know I can relate to, especially with Covid. I really enjoyed the shadow creature that attaches itself to Teddy. The shadow was was really creepy, but many people would have fallen into its trap. We also had a girl from the dead make an appearance, and honestly, she was creepy. I also really enjoyed reading from the police perspective and watching the two characters interact with each other. Also, the ending, I absolutely love it, and it made me a little bit sad.
