“I’ll tell you a secret, kitten. Everyone feels like that sometimes. Sometimes things get bad, and you can’t see a future ahead. It’s all cloudy, like the sky on a rainy day. But life moves very fast. Things never stay the same forever, even the bad things. The clouds will blow away. They always do, I promise.” – 5/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: Russian dolls, mental illness, little kids, talking cats and… I can’t tell you much more.

This is the story of a serial killer. A stolen child. Revenge. Death. And an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street.

All these things are true. And yet they are all lies…

You think you know what’s inside the last house on Needless Street. You think you’ve read this story before. That’s where you’re wrong.

In the dark forest at the end of Needless Street, lies something buried. But it’s not what you think…

I don’t think I can describe this book other than: this was a crazy, insane roller coaster.

After I finished the book I had to put it down and process what happened before I sat down and wrote a review on it. And to be honest, I still don’t know what to say.

I’m sorry if you came here to find out more about what the story is about, but you are wasting your time. I will say there were mainly two things on my mind while reading this. One of them was “what in the world is going on?” and the second one was “is this a fantasy book, or…?”. If you really need something to hope for, I think the synopsis describes the story in a perfect way:

“This is the story of a murderer. A stolen child. Revenge. This is the story of Ted, who lives with his daughter Lauren and his cat Olivia in an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street. All these things are true. And yet some of them are lies.”

This book provides a very immersive experience, so I guarantee you’ll feel the unsettling and creepy setting in your bones! There’s a lot of confusion from the point of view of the reader, but I promise you it’s a very cool experience.

Another great (and very surprising) thing about this book is that there are zero loose ends by the end. Everything has its own explanation, so don’t worry if you’re confused most of the time because in the end everything will make sense. I honestly couldn’t see how it would all work out and make sense, but the author did an amazing job in this regard.

It’s funny to see how the ratings are so polarized with this book, but I completely understand why. The truth is: you either love it or hate it. This is the kind of book that you should go into without knowing much about it.

I absolutely loved it! It was unsettling, mysterious and confusing in a good way. If you like weird, creepy horror, then give it a go! Maybe you’ll find a new favorite.
