My first read of the year is indeed 5 stars. I absolutely loved this, despite the uncertain start.
So this is told from the pov of a child, I believe she is 9. I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but this perspective made the story absolutely bone chilling. The way you experiance everything from her pov and see how the parents react works so well. The description of Other Mommy is sickening and this may be the first time I've ever been scared of a book. I for sure shut my closets when I go to sleep now. The way this story kept progressing worked so well and the end has my jaw on the floor!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
