Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab and in need of a job. Her last job did not end well, and she really needs something fast. When the opportunity presents itself to babysit Ted and Caroline Maxwell’s five-year-old son Teddy, Mallory accepts. She will get to live in their guest house and finally have some stability in her life.

How hard can it be to entertain a five-year-old? She thinks it will be easy – except Teddy begins drawing very disturbing pictures. Intrigued, Mallory attempts to decipher the pictures and gets help from the groundkeeper and a neighbor with an unusual gift.

Soon, it is evident that something isn’t quite right, but what? Who will believe her?

I found myself quickly engrossed in the story and wanting to learn more about the pictures and the strange things happening around/in the house. This book had an eerie feel to it. I was right there with Mallory trying to figure out what was happening and why Teddy was drawing such disturbing pictures. Was something paranormal/supernatural going on? Or was there another reason altogether?

I really enjoyed coming up with my own theories and was nowhere close when the final reveal occurred. The author did a great job surprising me.

Thank you to Flat iron Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
