I love dark fairy tales and I love psychological thrillers and Little Darlings combines both of these genres brilliantly. This book is about Lauren Tranter, a new mother who has just given birth to her twin sons. On the first night after the birth another woman tries to abduct Lauren's babies and swap them with her own sickly twins. Lauren is able to defend her children but the woman promises that if Lauren ever leaves her twins unattended she will lose them. There are no witnesses to the exchange between two women, so nobody believes Lauren.

A month later somebody does take Lauren's children while she falls asleep in the park. After all out search the babies are found safe. Everybody is rejoiced, except Lauren, because even though the babies look like her twins, Morgan and Riley, there is something different and disturbing about them. Lauren believes that the found babies are not her children. The question is, did the abduction truly happened or is Lauren losing her mind as everyone around her seems to think?

Little Darlings is creepy and disturbing, it's a perfect blend of domestic suspense and a supernatural mystery. I couldn't put this book down and stayed up late reading it, and then was too scared to turn the lights off because of how spooked I was. Little Darlings is a book you have to read if you like the darkest of fairy tales and supernatural thrillers.
