Lauren has just had a long and difficult birth , but now her twin boys are here.  Unfortunately things are about to get a lot more terrifying for Lauren .

Lauren is at home with her new born babies, Patrick (her husband) is back at work and is not much help when he’s home . Lauren is exhausted .

After a strong suggestion from Patrick, Lauren FINALLY leaves the house to meet up with her fellow mum friends . All is going well , Lauren is almost having fun . She takes the babies for a walk and makes a terrible mistake …She sits down . And before she knows it , she’s asleep !

The babies will never be the same again in Lauren’s eyes . No one believes her , not even Patrick.

What a creepy but enticing read. One character gave me nightmares, which is just a example at how good the writing is. The characters seem real , all of them.

I felt so sympathetic to Lauren, and I became frustrated when no one would listen to her.

I couldn’t put this book down, I simply had to know the truth. Was she mad , like everyone was saying? Or was she completely sane?

Little darlings is definitely worth a read. Especially for fans of the films “Shutter island” and “Changeling” as well as reader that enjoy psychological thrillers – this is a book for you.
