Oh, that child is so evil! I will say this book is a little slow and is mostly internal dialog which can be hard to get though. Although I like the slow escalation of events and reveals that story presents.
Throughout the book, I did question why the mother wouldn’t use her phone to record the daughter or even have more security cameras in the house. All this aside I enjoyed being creeped out by a child because my goodness is she just evil. The back and forth of narration from chapter to chapter is well done. The daughter’s point of view is gradually expanded to encompass her true thoughts and motivations while the mother's view develops her past trauma and disconnection to the thing that she must call daughter.
I thought this would be a little more messed up than it was. Most of the horror comes from the thoughts of the characters and then actions until you get closer to the end. It is had to get through the beginning as it's just a bit too slow and a bit frustrating. With the mother not communicating more with the father and the father not listening or just ignoring all issues you get tired of this quickly.
I did like the story and the ending was good but since this was a modern story it’s hard not to ask why the mother or even the schools didn’t get any video evidence of this child’s behaviour. I found out there is another book after this, and I am looking forward to reading it.

a promising start but the last 40% of the book seemed like a half-hearted effort. maybe because i spent so long awaiting a twist that never came tho!
