I know I don’t predict a lot of plot twists, but with this one?? I was so far off it’s embarrassing. Jason Rekulak did such an amazing job blending psychological thriller with just enough paranormal to make me question my own sanity. Like… am I okay?? My favorite part—and I know I’m not alone here—was the inclusion of the actual drawings throughout the book! That visual element made the story feel way more immersive, like I was uncovering the mystery right alongside Mallory. Honestly, it gave the book such a unique vibe and made it feel like more of an experience than just a read. If you enjoy creepy kid vibes, unreliable characters, buried secrets, and a story that blurs the line between real and supernatural, this one’s for you. Also perfect for people who like books that are fast-paced, visual, and a little off in the best way.

I was having a great time with this book, but then ending threw me off. I don’t know how to feel or what to think.

Good twists and turns I surely didn’t expect.

Each twist was more shocking than the next. The only reason this took me more than one sitting to read is because I started it late in the evening. This book was a page turner and had me in a chokehold. Highly recommend.
