Just finished reading 'The Baby' by AJ McDine, and wow – this book is a rollercoaster! The psychological twists had me flipping pages way past bedtime. The suspense builds so well, especially with the multiple POVs. That cottage setting? So eerie and vivid, I could practically smell the damp wood.

But let’s be real: not every twist lands perfectly. Some moments felt predictable, like I could see the 'big reveal' coming a mile away. And Miles? Ugh, frustrating character (though I guess that’s the point). Still, the ending was satisfying—no loose threads!

Pro tip: Skip the audiobook samples; the narration sounded robotic. Stick to the paperback for maximum creepy immersion. Solid 4/5 for thriller fans craving a quick, gripping read with emotional punches.
