"I loved it." -Stephen King From Jason Rekulak, Edgar-nominated author of The Impossible Fortress, comes a wildly inventive spin on the classic horror story in Hidden Pictures, a supernatural thriller about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets. Fresh out of rehab, Mallory Quinn takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy. Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman's lifeless body. Then, Teddy's artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force. Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it's too late. A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.… (mehr)

Molto bello, una storia lunga e complessa, ben costruita anche nelle parti che si possono definire paranormali e che non lascia nulla in sospeso e trova tutti i giusti chiarimenti nel finale. Mi è piaciuto molto il progressivo crescendo della tensione narrativa, il perfetto incastrarsi delle vicende e il progressivo palesarsi delle diverse personalità dei vari personaggi tutti ben caratterizzati e coerenti nel ruolo. Una storia che riserva molte sorprese, un libro di più di 400 pagine ma che si legge in un fiato e corredato da bellissimi disegni che sono anche parte integrante e sostanziale della storia. ( )

This book was just absolutely amazing. One of the few books where I also just love, love the ending. It plucked my little heart strings and I loved every second of the entire experience. ( )

2.5 stars. Nothing about this book was particularly remarkable. It was entertaining enough to get through but at no point was it scary or creepy. I felt the plot twists were extremely unrealistic and very corny, sometimes even just confusing. The author took too long to build to the climax but then inserted a cliche action packed resolution to tie things up. I could have done completely without the last chapter of the book as at that point, I just didn’t even care about the characters anymore. The whole concept of a spirit trying to communicate through drawings just started to get more and more stupid as the book went on. There was a point of the book where I felt the author just abandoned all mention of the spirit plot completely and pushed too hard to make sense of an otherwise ridiculous and unrealistic plot twist. As a huge lover of all things scary and horror related, I was not impressed with this book at all. ( )

This was really unique.....the illustrations made it an exciting read.

I do have a few gripes.....the stereotypes in this book are relentless.....the upper middle class family are white liberals....the eccentric hippie psychic next door watches Fox news......the well off Mexican family owns a lawn care business, etc. While I realize that stereotypes exist because they can be true to a degree....I feel that a modern book shouldn't be perpetuating stereotypes. As someone who disproves stereotypes....I'm a born and bred Southerner who isn't racist, uneducated or poor......I just feel its time move past these preconceived ideas.

While the woke mob may take umbrage with the fact that gender dysphoria wasn't portrayed in a positive light..... I'm happy that Rekulak took the realistic and scientific route with this story.

Overall, this was a unique and exciting read that I enjoyed very much. ( )
