I loved this book so much. I have to tell you how utterly sinister and creepy it is! . . Horror doesn't scare me. I know it's not real and I know it can't get me but this book hit me full on. . . It's anxiety meets Freddy Krueger. Scream with the sound turned off. It's super scary and I loved every minute of it. . . Tash witnessed a kidnapping years ago. Her imaginary friend Sparrow took Mallory away from the carnival. Wrenched the balloons right off her wrist. Lured her into the darkness and spat her out, 7 days later, mute and afraid. Nobody believed her then, so why would they believe her now when the dark hooded figure appears again, she thinks...but is it her imagination playing tricks, or has something terrible happened that she must find and destroy to give her peace? . . If you want a good psychological thriller, pick up Small Spaces by Sarah Epstein. Shake it before you read it...just to get the bad juju out but it's still going to stare at you in the shadows, knock on your door at 3am and keep you tossing and turning because you're too afraid to go get that glass of water you'll be craving all night. . . Is it just an 8 year olds imaginary friend?..or something a lot more intense? . . Well played Sarah Epstein. Well played.
