Little Darlings seamlessly blends a dark fairy tale world into modern day. But the supernatural aren't the only things to be afraid of in this book, humans can be just as bad. Lauren's husband, oh my. Everyone in this book has they're own hangups and you can't trust any of the narrators to be reliable. Is it really supernatural or is Lauren crazy or suffering from postpartum depression? Who can be trusted? Even the reader will doubt Lauren's sanity. It's a gripping story absolutely worth the read that plays on primal parental fears.

Haunting and Hair-Raising
This story was equal parts horrifying and gripping. I don't typically read anything horror because I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat, but the Grimm element of the story intrigued me so I decided to give it a go. Once I started, I couldn't stop. Even in spite of my fear, I knew I had to continue to see where the story led. The atmospheric writing creates an unforgettable tale, one that is sure to make the hair on the back of one's neck stand up. The characters were a definite highlight, each unique and clearly fleshed out. It was easy to become attached to both Lauren and Harper. I loved every second of getting to follow their individual paths as they became intertwined in the same mystery.
I would say this book is a definite must-read, especially if you're a fan of all things Grimm and horror. I hear there is going to be a motion-picture in the future so I definitely look forward to that!
P.S. You probably don't want to read this if you're pregnant, plan on getting pregnant, or have recently had a child. I know that if I was any of the three previously mentioned, I likely would have a hard attack reading this book.
