HOLY S… this book was terrifying! In all the aspects. I felt all the emotions, crippling, paralyzing fear, relief, immense anger, rage… My kids are almost the same ages (a few months younger each) as the kids in the story so I physically felt the pain, anger, frustration… relief rushed me and I cried when the police found the kids in the hiding place… The scariest part by far was the fact that the Corner has been there before - several times, at night - watching them; while she, they, felt safe, protected. I went from anger at all the others because they didn‘t believe her; because why believe a woman when it‘s easier to explain by her being batshit crazy; to actually hoping she was just psychotic and delusional because of everything that she had to go through, because it gave me hope that such evil wasn‘t actually present. But it was, all along, she was right, all along; and finally, she was the one to put an end to it I admired the nameless protagonist, she was fierce, strong, smart, organized… well, just a mother, right? Mothers are powerhouses, full stop. In the end, she did make all the right choices, with a large part of chance that played into her hands. But she made it!! Phew, I need a massive breather… double check your doors!
