Horror thriller following Louise and her estranged brother Mark after the sudden death of their parents and their trying to sell their family home where strange things happen.
Ooooh this was yet another banger read from Grady Hendrix, the third book I read from him and it was just as good as the previous ones.
I loved the horror and spooky elements, the Chucky vibes with the use of dolls and puppets as sinister creatures that seriously made me scared, I won't be seeing these toys in the same light again (though before I must confess some did creeped me out).
On the other hand the more realistic themes and plot elements like the estranged siblings, family secrets, gaslighting, generational trauma and were so well presented and executed, blending seamlessly into the more supernatural aspects of the story.
Pacing wise it felt a bit draggy to me in the first part of the book, but the second part was so intense.
The ending was perfect and emotional.
Overall an incredible read and I'll be looking forward to discover more of Grady Hendrix's other books.
