Full speed and perfectly creepy for an October read!! 
Those who already find dolls and puppets creepy MAY want to skip this one - and if you don’t find them creepy now, you probably will by the time you’ve finished!! 

the only thing I didn’t love about this book was Mark’s incredible recovering from having an entire limb amputated - seemingly in just a few short days he’s been discharged (almost immediately in fact), is being encouraged by Louise to do rehab on his stump (which won’t have even heeled yet) and then is driving around in his truck… 
Yes, in a book full of ghosts, possession and the paranormal, THIS is what I struggled to get my head around!!
