⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

Short Summary of the book:

This book tells the story of Natasha, a five-month-old baby and her father Neal. How aware is the young girl? Does she really hate her dad and is she out to get back at him for considering to abort her? Or is her dad simply psychotic? Read it in this short novel, the first in a series.

What I liked about the book:

I particularly liked how we could never be certain whether Neal was right in his belief or whether he was psychotic. We were left to wonder the entire time.

What I didn’t like about the book:

The book was over far too soon and at the end we still did not know what would happen next. Although the start of the book gave an insight into the eventual outcome, we still are left wondering what was next.

My favourite bits in the book:

I loved where Natasha spoke to Neal, or did she?

My least favourite bits in the book:

I didn’t like it when the book was over too soon, leaving us in suspense as to what happened next. I guess there is no other choice than to get the next books and find out.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This is only the first in this series. The author has written many more books which are very good at wetting the appetite for the next one in the series.

What books could this be compared to and why?

This book reminded me of some of the books by Stephen King as you are left wondering what is next. So, what is actually next?

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children No

Young Adult Maybe

Adult Yes

If you like Horror and suspense this book might just be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.
