NATIONAL BESTSELLER · OPTIONED FOR NETFLIX BY A PRODUCER OF THE BATMANGOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER“I loved it." ―Stephen KingFrom Edgar Award-finalist Jason Rekulak comes a wildly inventive spin on the supernatural thriller, for fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets.Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy.Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body.Then, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force.Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late.

Rezension von Priya 4.5⭐ This book was sooo good and fast paced. The only thing I would change is to put the focus more on the supernatural aspect especially regarding the plot twist. I've never read a supernatural Thriller tho so maybe it's supposed to be this exact way(the supernatural being a part of it but not being a big part of the main plot twist) either way it didn't take away much from the book so it was still very very good and the ending was really sad.

Rezension von dajameepSpannende Geschichte, schön geschrieben. Und zwar eine meiner Meinung nach doch weiter hergeholte Auflösung, aber dennoch sehr spannend und nachvollziehbar. Finde auch die Idee schön, dass etwas Visuelles auch wirklich mal visuell dargestellt wurde, und die Bilder nicht nur beschrieben sondern eben auch gezeigt wurden. Das hebt das Buch definitiv von anderen ab. Ich verstehe auch, warum andere das Buch toll finden, aber für mich war es ein bisschen fade. Sehr schnell haben sich meiner Meinung nach Dinge und Situationen wiederholt (ergo: Bilder gefunden; verständlicherweise glaubt niemand der Protagonisten; klassische Missverständnisse). Das hätte für mich meiner Meinung nach differenzierter sein können. Was dann für mich der Grund ist, warum ich nicht genauso gehyped bin von dem Buch, wie viele andere.
Rezension von LiAnna Peckenpaugh It was boring in the beginning but I pushed through and enjoyed the surprised in the end! It was a great book!
