That is until Teddy starts to draw disturbing pictures of his imaginary friend, Anya. It is quite clear to Mallory and to Teddy's parents, even in his crude childlike style, that the woman Teddy is drawing in his pictures is dead.
Teddy's crayons are confiscated, and his paper locked away. But the drawings somehow keep coming, telling a frightening story of a woman murdered... and they're getting more sophisticated. But if Teddy isn't drawing the pictures anymore, who is? And what are they trying to tell Mallory about her new home?
I’d seen this book everywhere, and a couple of my good thriller loving book pals loved it, so I knew I had to get on it. Boy this book did not disappoint! From the start I was intrigued, wondering what was going to happen. Pretty quickly things start to shake up, and a few different characters crop up. I loved Mallory, and Teddy was a little cutie. Well until he became freaky teddy and drew those creepy pictures. I also loved the cabin where Mallory was staying in the family’s back yard, a lovely little retreat to relax and spend time to herself.
So to show you how much this book scared me, I woke at 4am one morning and couldn't sleep so I carried on reading my ebook in the dark. I started to drift off to sleep so I closed my eyes. I breathed on my own arm, and nearly jumped out of bed with fright!! Freaked out was an understatement!
One thing I have to say is well done to the illustrators Will Staehle and Doogie Horner, those pictures throughout were scary as hell, and added so much to the story.
I love a good thriller and this is definitely up there with the best ones, so if you haven’t read it I would recommend it!
