For some reason from the moment I started reading, I just didn't connect with this book. I disliked the writing style, didn't like any of the characters at all (and was deeply suspicious of the nurse/nanny Nina); and also from about halfway through the book didn't really get what was going on, and wasn't altogether that interested in finding out. Mildly annoying book and probably just not as clever as it wanted to be. This was just not a good book. From the first chapter I knew what was going on. Instead of subtle foreshadowing it was in your face taunts that you knew "something" was going on. Instead of just getting to the point it was 200 something pages of those taunts. The end wasn't even an "a ha!" moment and not much tied into the twist. I skimmed through the entire thing just to get to the end. I don't even know why I did it. I don't usually write "bad" reviews because a lot of time and effort is put into writing a book, but this was just a cheap set up for a horrific ending.
I liked this book, but i kind of figured it out from the beginning. There were still some surprises.

This story line was a little weird but it was a quick read.
