I am joining if I just get the book. This was a BOTM in another group but I couldn't get it then.
This book has been sitting on my TBR list for quite some time now. I guess this is a sign for me to start reading it. I've seen so many promising reviews, though, so I'm excited for this one.

Stephen King made some really favorable comments about it....so I have high hopes.
I got it yesterday and I’m ready to go
I grabbed it from KU so I will be ready too. :)
I have this one on my large TBR so will definitely be bumping this one up to read soon.
I've got my copy from the library today and I'm set to go :)
Grabbed it from KU. I am going to give it a whirl.
Got my copy - I'm ready to be creeped out!

From a horror perspective, I don't think this one is too bad. Certainly not extreme.

Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy.
Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body.
Then, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force.
Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late.
