Can’t even get halfway through. The narrator is fine, the characters are just annoying and unlikeable.

Loved this book. Simultaneously creepy, funny, and moving-- which sounds strange, but Hendrix really gets how life and relationships can encompass all of these elements. His writing of sibling relationships rings true and sinister puppets are always a win AFAIC. Mikhaila Aaseng also delivers a solid narration here, and there were certainly some challenging scenes to vocalize!

I know it gets weird around the puppet parts, but hang in there it gets better.

I did not enjoy this novel at all. The most undesirable characters, the "horror" was too cheesy and while it could have had a good plot line in the end, it was lost in the absurdity of the final scenes.

I absolutely loved this story! The narrator was very good. I also thought it was really creepy, and Grady Hendrix has an amazing way to get under your skin. The narrator was really good with changing characters, and the way she did the puppets' voice was un nerving.

spooky but so good!

This was a good book, kept me interested. The narrators did a great job!

I never want to hear or see a puppet ever again! Fun book with some odd twists

This is the first book that I listened to in a while that kept me guessing. So, if this is a prelude to other books by this author, then I am hooked. Great creepy story!

Why does the description not mention that this story is about haunted puppets and imaginary creatures coming to life? I was expecting a haunted house…with ghost…not possessed Toys. Never does it explain where the possession or “magic” comes from. It just exist? The story was interesting enough at first but it just got harder and harder to continue. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad read/listen. Just not something I’m into and I wish the description would have been more accurate. Wasted a credit.

Enjoyed the book !

This was a great story about a haunting and the process of loss. Highly recommended.

The female narrator was annoying due to the way she would say the words “she said or he said” When a narrator is strong, one doesn’t even notice the “saids”
