My Darling Girl

By: Jennifer McMahon

Narrated by: Hillary Huber, Kitty Hendrix

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Children on the Hill, a chilling psychological thriller “that delivers both chilling scares and genuine emotion” (Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author) about a woman who takes in her dying, alcoholic mother—only to fear that something far more demonic has come home with her.

Alison has never been a fan of Christmas. But with it right around the corner and her husband busily decorating their cozy Vermont home, she has no choice but to face it. Then she gets the call.

Mavis, Alison’s estranged mother, has been diagnosed with cancer and has only weeks to live. She wants to spend her remaining days with her daughter’s family. But Alison grew up with her mother’s alcoholism and violent abuse and is reluctant to unearth these traumatic memories. Still, she eventually agrees to take in Mavis, hoping that she and her mother could finally heal and have the relationship she’s always dreamed of.

But when mysterious and otherworldly things start happening upon Mavis’s arrival, Alison begins to suspect her mother is not quite who she seems. And as the holiday festivities turn into a nightmare, she must confront just how far she is willing to go to protect her family in this “twisty, propulsive, character-driven, and hair-raisingly scary” (Nick Cutter, author of The Troop) novel.

Jennifer delivers

I love all her books and this one did not disappoint good twists and interesting characters

Loved it!

No spoilers, but the ending was great! Will definitely search out more titles by this author.

This author can really write a thriller!

Mavis may have come alone, but she most certainly isn't alone, as Alison soon discovers. In her efforts to protect her family, most importantly, her youngest daughter, Alison runs the risk of being deemed the unstable one. However, time is running out, so she must do what she needs to do to break the curse before it's too late.

One of Her Scariest Plots Yet

This book has you guessing until the very end. Its characters and events are somehow so realistic despite the unexpected turns they take. I was scared every step of the way, and I rooted for the main character Allison more than any other character in Jennifer McMahon’s books.

Amazing

As always, Jennifer delivers a suspenseful story that will keep you guessing. The ending is the best part of this story. Don’t miss a word. Fabulous author.
