About this ebook
'I loved it. The surprises really surprise and it has that hard-to-achieve propulsiveness that won't let you put it down. And the pictures are terrific!' Stephen King
'Must be the boldest double twist of the year. Truly fantastic' The Times
AN AMAZON.COM BEST MYSTERY/THRILLER OF THE YEAR
Mallory is delighted to have a new job looking after gorgeous four-year-old, Teddy. She's been sober for a year and a half and she's sure her new nannying role in the affluent suburbs will help keep her on the straight and narrow.
That is until Teddy starts to draw disturbing pictures of his imaginary friend, Anya. It is quite clear to Mallory and to Teddy's parents, even in his crude childlike style, that the woman Teddy is drawing in his pictures is dead.
Teddy's crayons are confiscated, and his paper locked away. But the drawings somehow keep coming, telling a frightening story of a woman murdered... and they're getting more sophisticated. But if Teddy isn't drawing the pictures anymore, who is? And what are they trying to tell Mallory about her new home?
If you love Hidden Pictures, don't miss Jason Rekulak's twisty new suspense The Last One at the Wedding.

I really enjoyed the suspense of this book. The characterisation is great as well, and Mallory as a main character was one I felt was very easy to connect with. Solid story, though in my opinion not the most 'out there' if that makes sense. Still kept me on edge and wanting to read more.

I've never read this author before, it was an impulse buy after reading the synopsis of the book...... and omg i absolutely devoured it. i was hooked after the first few pages. loved the writing style and the books main character was beautifully depicted. there were supernatural elements, combined with plot twists and the use of pictures throughout the book was genius. very glad I stumbled across this book and the author and i would recommend to anyone!!!!!

A masterpiece of creativity, imagination and originality. Written in simple sentences with simple words yet incredibly descriptive and suspensfully addictive. A story like no other, a clever ending to a 'difficult' plot, a highly recommended book.
