Reviews

[Grady Hendrix · Rating 2 out of 5]

Engagingly written banter, but ultimately it's just Rosemary's Baby where Satan is Swedish people.

[Kristine Muslim · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of loose ends but all in all, an entertaining read.

[Jaimee · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed it until the ending. The ending made absolutely no sense and did not feel complete. I was flipping through the afterword to see if I missed any pages!

Marie and David Preston have been trying for a baby for three long years when friends of theirs recommended they visit the offices of Dr McPartland, a wonderful obstetrician who tells that that all will be well and they will soon have a happy baby.

But why do all of Dr McPartland’s babies look eerily similar and where do they really come from?

A pretty good read, a bit heavy on medical terminology but has a nice twist that I admittedly didn’t see coming
