Book 24 (of 52) – Hidden Pictures

Hidden Pictures – Jason Rekulak

Eighteen months sober, a young woman takes a job as a summer babysitter for a wealthy family in the suburbs.  But when mysterious drawings start showing up, drawings that appear to come from the hands of her young charge, she starts digging into the local urban legend of a young woman murdered in the cabin where she now lives.  However, she finds that the truth is much scarier, and everyone’s lives are in danger.

Hidden Pictures, by Jason Rekulak, landed on my radar after winning the 2022 Goodreads Choice Award for Horror.  Aside from the small supernatural element, it is your standard thriller, with the young protagonist trying to figure out the mystery unfolding around her.  While the ending was a little shaky, I liked most of what Rekulak had to offer and look forward to trying his next offering some day.
