Scrappymags 3-word review: Lock the windows!!!!

Genre: Mystery/horror

Shortest summary ever: Tom Kennedy and his young son Jake are starting fresh in a new town and a new house. But soon Jake claims he hears whispering just like another missing child claimed… and many others who years before said the same and were murdered by serial killer Frank Carter. But Carter is in jail. So who is whispering? Or is it a case of a vivid child’s imagination? A copy cat?

What’s good under the hood: I kept waking up at 3am to keep reading this book, it had me so on edge (in a good way). Creepy whispers and things that go bump in the night are my jam! Nicely paced and I enjoyed that there was good STORY to the book – meaning well developed characters and a sharp plot. Heeby jeeby kids are always good for a class A freak-out in my world.

What’s bad or made me mad: Not much. The chill factor died down a bit but my interest level was maintained.

Recommend to: All the mystery/horror fans in my crew!! Definitely a good mystery for a quick read.

Not recommended to: If child crime bothers you.

Thanks to NetGalley and Celadon Books and the author for an advanced copy (and crazy late night reading) in exchange for this completely honest review.
