HIDDEN PICTURES- October Book Club
In this spine-tingling episode of I'll Read What She's Reading, we’re diving into the dark and suspenseful world of Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak—our book club pick for the month of October. Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers, this haunting novel blends mystery, horror, and a dash of supernatural intrigue.
Join us as we discuss the unsettling story of Mallory, a young woman hired to be a nanny for a wealthy family, and her growing concerns when she discovers the drawings of a young boy—drawings that seem to depict disturbing and supernatural scenes. As Mallory uncovers more about the boy’s eerie visions, she begins to unravel a terrifying mystery that could cost her everything.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
The chilling premise of Hidden Pictures and why it’s perfect for a fall thriller read. Our reactions to the twists and turns of the story, and whether it had us on the edge of our seats.The psychological depth of the characters, especially Mallory and the boy, Teddy, and how they shape the story. The blend of psychological thriller and supernatural elements that keeps you guessing until the very end.
And, of course, the book club vibe: sharing what we loved, what we didn’t, and what our fellow book club members had to say about it.
Whether you're already deep into Hidden Pictures or just looking for a thrilling book to add to your TBR list, this episode is packed with plenty of discussion, spoilers (so beware!),
