A psychological thriller with a tinge of horror!
This first paragraph grabbed my attention and I was hooked!
“The abduction of a child by a stranger is every parent’s worst nightmare. But statistically it is a highly unusual event. Children are actually most at risk of harm and abuse from a family member behind closed doors, and while the outside world might seem threatening, the truth is that most strangers are decent people, whereas the home can be the most dangerous place of all.”
This book and the author’s writing gave me chills. It won’t easily be forgotten! North did an amazing job of bringing the eerie and dark Whisper Man to life.
“If you’re lonely, sad, and blue, the Whisper Man will come for you.”
A young boy who finds his mother dead at the bottom of their stairs...after she dies suddenly. A father trying his best to parent, through his depression and feelings of inadequacy. These rich and wonderful characters grabbed a hold of my heart!
It’s time for Jake and his father to move on with their life. A fresh start and a new house without sad memories. But did they pick the house...or did the house pick them?
Thank you to NetGalley, Celadon Books and Alex North for this ARC, in exchange for my honest review!
