Five "Creepy & Spooked Out" Stars
Spooky & Freaky!
A small taste of what lies within:
Mallory Quinn has had a rough road which put her in rehab and now that she is out she wants a job to help her get back on her feet. She finds one as a baby sitter for a nice couple, Ted and Caroline Maxwell as they need someone to care for their son Teddy who is five years old.
Mallory and Teddy hit it off and she settles in with baby sitting him. The Maxwell's want her on site so they let her live in the guest cottage so that she can be around whenever they need her. Mallory loves having her own private space but she also loves spending time with Teddy. Teddy loves to draw and color pictures which is normal but as time moves along the picture drawing takes a turn toward the abnormal and Teddy starts drawing disturbing images which causes Mallory alarm. The more she tries to make sense of it and tries to voice her opinions and fears to the Maxwell's nothing seems to work!
What is Teddy drawing? Why do the parents not seem concerned? Why is Teddy drawing disturbing images? No spoilers here as you will need to read the book!
Thoughts:
This was my first time reading this author and I love a good mystery/supernatural story so I decided to check out this book to see what all the fuss was about. I have to admit though the story was one creepy and freaky ride into the unknown.
I was captivated by the spooky supernatural vibes radiating throughout the story as I continued delving deeper into what was happening. I loved the characters - everyone seemed to mesh well together. I felt the character Mallory's frustration of trying to get the parents of Teddy to realize that something was wrong.
There is lots of suspense buildup in the beginning of the story and the author included the picture drawing illustrations in the book so the readers could see what was transpiring. The pictures almost creeped me out more than the story! The pace moves along at a great flow throughout the story and not once did I get bored with what was unfolding in the storyline. Looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.
