Every house has a secret.

After leaving rehab, Mallory Quinn takes a live-in babysitting job in an affluent New Jersey neighbourhood, hoping to rebuild her life. She quickly bonds with Teddy, a young boy whose ordinary drawings begin to depict increasingly disturbing scenes that seem far beyond his years. As Mallory investigates what the pictures might mean, she becomes caught up in a mystery that threatens the stability she has worked so hard to regain. For fans of the unsettling feeling of The Sixth Sense.

All Nightmare Nook Books are selected by our chief Book Ghoul, Cat. Here’s why Hidden Pictures had to be seen:

“I loved that this book offers something different to a lot of thrillers and definitely has a spooky vibe. It’s twisty and disturbing but still accessible to anyone looking for a unique suspenseful read. The children’s drawings are a brilliant touch to add to the atmosphere, too!”

Condition:

Brand new. Picture-perfect and undisturbed.

 

Synopsis

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?
