Don't you love when you start a book and just know it will be five stars? Then keep reading and realize it might be a new favourite of the genre?
Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak is giving me a book hangover.
It has all the elements I love in a spooky read - unreliable narrator, mysterious backstories, atmosphere, local legends, and a fantastic hint of supernatural.
Round this out with essential parts of the story being told through art - both creepy and heartbreaking - and this book was an absolute winner.
Many elements reminded me of some of my favourite horror movies, the ones with well-thought out stories and unsettling twists that make you gasp.
100% recommended!
